The partnership covers four countries, with a new Hilton at Copenhagen Airport planned for 2029

Scandic and Hilton have signed a multi-year agreement to pursue hotel development in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. The partnership brings together Scandic’s regional operating experience and Hilton’s international hotel brands.

Copenhagen airport hotel takes shape

A confirmed project is a 284-room Hilton Hotels & Resorts property at Scanport, beside Copenhagen Airport. Scandic will operate the hotel under a franchise agreement, with opening expected in 2029. Construction remains subject to outstanding conditions.

What it means for tour operators

For Benelux tour operators, this is a development to follow for longer-term accommodation planning. The airport project’s practical value will depend on future group arrangements, trade terms and its suitability for overnight stops within wider Nordic itineraries.
