Scandic Plans 138-Room Hotel Expansion in Turku, Finland

Scandic Hotels Group is expanding its Scandic Go brand in Finland by opening a new 138-room hotel in Turku, expected to open in the second half of 2026 following renovations starting in August 2025. The hotel will be created by converting part of the former Scandic Atrium building, with the main Atrium structure remaining under development. Strategically located between Turku's redeveloped harbor and university area, the hotel will offer convenient access to city buses, bike routes, and parking, appealing to both business and leisure travelers. The new hotel will meet the Nordic Swan Ecolabel environmental certification, reflecting Scandic's commitment to sustainability and catering to a more conscious generation of guests. This expansion aligns with Turku’s urban development, including a new event arena anticipated to boost tourism and business activity, and will increase Scandic’s total room capacity in Turku to 881. Scandic also plans to continue growing the Scandic Go brand in other Finnish cities such as Oulu and Helsinki, capitalizing on the region's rising demand for smart, affordable, and sustainable accommodations.
