SWEDEN | Hotel Indigo Stockholm – Kvarnholmen has marked the brand's first property in Sweden, growing IHG's European portfolio.
IHG Hotels & Resorts has announced the signing of Hotel Indigo Stockholm – Kvarnholmen in Sweden. Developed by Kvarnholmen Utveckling (KUAB), a joint venture between Peab and JM, the property will be leased and operated by 1912 Hotels under a franchise agreement with IHG. The signing marks the first Hotel Indigo in Sweden and strengthens IHG's growing Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio across Northern Europe.
Situated in Kvarnholmen, a vibrant waterfront neighbourhood in Nacka on Stockholm's eastern shore, the hotel will benefit from the area's ongoing transformation into one of the Swedish capital's most exciting new urban districts. Known for its blend of industrial heritage and modern Scandinavian design, Kvarnholmen offers guests easy access to the Stockholm archipelago, the city centre and a growing cultural and culinary scene.
Hotel Indigo, the world's neighbourhood hotel brand, is renowned for its distinctive approach to hospitality, drawing inspiration from the local neighbourhood, culture and popular trends in food, drink and design. No two Hotel Indigo properties are the same - each begins with a story shaped by its surroundings. The brand has now exceeded 325 open and pipeline hotels globally, reflecting its accelerated pace and rollout internationally to almost 50 countries.
Scheduled to open in 2029, Hotel Indigo Stockholm – Kvarnholmen will offer 232 guest rooms and will include a restaurant and bar, wellness and recreational facilities, meeting spaces of 150 sqm and social areas. The property will also feature a rooftop pool and terrace, spa and gym facilities, and an internal atrium with green space, supporting both guest experience and local community integration.
"We are delighted to bring Hotel Indigo to Stockholm, a city that perfectly embodies the brand's ethos of celebrating neighbourhood culture through design-led hospitality,” said Willemijn Geels, Vice President, Development, Europe, at IHG Hotels & Resorts.
“Sweden is a market with strong and growing appeal for international and domestic travellers alike, and this signing reflects our commitment to expanding our portfolio across the Nordics. We're thrilled to deepen our relationship with 1912 Hotels, welcome Peab and JM as new partners, and soon introduce guests to the unique story of Kvarnholmen."
Hotel Indigo Stockholm – Kvarnholmen will join IHG's expanding footprint in Sweden, which currently includes voco Stockholm – Kista and the recently opened Ruby Frida in Stockholm. This signing builds on IHG's strategy to grow its current presence of 13 open and pipeline properties across the Nordics, where the company sees significant potential across its brand portfolio.
