“We strongly believe in the role of Helsinki Airport as an important strategic point in global tourism.”

Nordic Choice Hotels will operate the 13-storey hotel, which will be located adjacent to Terminal 2 of the airport. The primary designer for the project is SARC Architects.

Nordic Choice Hotel owner Petter Stordalen added: “It feels fantastic that we are now taking the next step in the construction of the two terminal hotels at the airport.

“This will give airport visitors new opportunities to tailor their accommodation or create a conference experience that exceeds expectations.”

Sustainability is an important factor from the start of the hotel’s project planning, LAK Real Estate said. The aim is a 70% waste recovery rate at the construction site.
