New hotels planned for Sweden’s Stockholm Arlanda and Kiruna airports

Swedavia is planning to build a new hotel at both Stockholm Arlanda and Kiruna airports as its looks to future proof its Swedish airport network.

At Stockholm Arlanda Airport, a full-service hotel is being planned which will be located close to the terminals and include 540 double rooms, conference facilities and a wide range of bars and restaurants in an area covering 39,000 square metres.

Kiruna Airport will also get a facelift since Swedavia is planning a new hotel immediately adjacent to the terminal at Sweden’s northernmost airport.

The hotel will have 180 rooms in two different categories, a restaurant and bar area on the hotel’s entrance level, where both overnight guests and other visitors can meet, and a work lounge where people who want a separate workspace can take a seat.

“Airports are important hubs and excellent locations for hotels,” notes Swedavia’s real estate CEO, Stefan Stenberg.

“Our two hotels will be situated right next to the terminals, and their location combined with the high quality of the architecture and finish will make them very attractive hotels. We believe they will generate great interest among market operators.”

Swedavia is now inviting operators to submit tenders for the opportunity to run the hotels with construction slated to start in 2025 at the earliest.
