Revelop and IHG Hotels & Resorts partner to launch voco hotels brand in Kista, Stockholm. The hotel, created by converting 9,000m2 of the Revelop-owned Nordic Forum, will offer conference facilities, a restaurant, a spa, and an indoor swimming pool. It will be operated by Mogotel Hotel Development and open after the summer.
Revelop acquired Nordic Forum in 2016 and has transformed it from brown to green. They have implemented various ESG initiatives like energy optimization, solar panels, and investment in outdoor environments. Today, Nordic Forum is a sustainable, modern full-service asset with a gym and Revelop's co-working concept C/O Workspace. It will soon be fully let and certified as BREEAM In-Use Very Good.
“I am very happy that IHG has chosen Nordic Forum for their first hotel in Sweden, bringing the voco experience to Kista. The hotel will have a significant positive impact, increasing the number of visitors to Kista during all hours of the day. Through the letting we are transforming outdated office space to a modern premium hotel experience, in line with Revelop’s strategy to extend the life of existing buildings and repurposing them with new relevant content.” said Thomas Sipos, Group CEO at Revelop.
Miguel Martins, Head of Development Northern Europe at IHG, said: "We are delighted to partner with Revelop to bring this voco hotels property to the city of Kista. voco hotels is a brand that is highly popular with guests for its unique charm and character and is equally favoured by owners due to its conversion-friendly design and operational framework. It is the perfect fit for this project, and together with Revelop and Mogotel, our shared values and focus on sustainability promise an exciting new hotel. We look forward to opening our doors and welcoming even more guests to our wonderful city.”
"Entering the Swedish market is a major step forward for Mogotel. We are thankful for our partners' trust as we embark on this journey. Our focus is now on growth and establishing a strong presence in Stockholm and across Sweden," said Ivans Dokicans, Chairman of the Board at Mogotel Development Holding, Head of Development.
“This project marks a significant milestone for us," said Sabine Krievina, Member of the board, Director of Project Management at Mogotel Development Holding. "It's not just a new venture in Stockholm and Sweden; it's a new and exciting chapter in our story, as we start our cooperation with IHG Hotels & resorts. We're thrilled about the opportunity to bring the unique character of the voco brand into this dynamic city and look forward to making our mark in the heart of Stockholm,”
