The Nordic hotel market continues to show resilience and strong performance, driven by both domestic and international demand. As travellers increasingly seek modern, sustainable, and value-for-money experiences, the hotel sector offers compelling opportunities. For Slättö, hotels represent a niche and evolving segment, with a strategy focusing on repurposing, repositioning with deep-inhouse expertise in the sector.

What we do
Capturing opportunities in the Nordic hospitality segment
Slättö analyses all themes within hospitality and selects those that present significant opportunities for investment due to favourable market trends. We have identified two interesting themes in the Nordic hospitality segment. One is apartment-hotel and long-stay properties with high design standards and technology-driven operations. The other is functional, newly produced hotels that offer customers great value with high quality and design in high-demand locations. Both themes are driven by increased co-living trends due to people travelling for work and pleasure and prioritise experiences before other consumer goods.
Through these insights, Slättö is sourcing and scaling up the most attractive investments with the aim of creating institutional hospitality portfolios in major cities and regional markets, in the Nordics and beyond.
