“The customer has had confidence in us and has believed that together we will achieve this here. It is therefore very pleasing that after close and good cooperation we have now managed to land the project.
“The hotel is long-awaited, and we will build a fantastic hotel for the city. Together with Campus Kristiansund construction phase one, this is the start of Kristiansund version 2.0.”
Bane NOR Eiendom development director Morten Autestad said: “We look forward to getting started with the next step in the development of this central area in Kristiansund.”
In November 2024, Strawberry and Nordic hotel chain Quality Hotel were contracted to manage Swedavia’s new hotel at Stockholm Arlanda Airport.
According to Swedavia, the hotel is poised to become the “largest” in the Nordics with 656 rooms.
