Speaking about the development, Scandic Norway managing director Svein Arild Steen-Mevold said: "From being a city with a chronic shortage of hotel rooms, there are now a number of new hotels being established in Stavanger.
"The city is growing fast and as the market leader, it is important for Scandic to offer a wide range of hotels. In this high competition market we will be well-positioned to win."
