High expectations for the future
With a location near Copenhagen Airport, the hotel is ideally situated both for tourists and business travelers. Quality Airport Hotel Dan functions as an airport hotel but also as a great destination for tourists due to its location near Öresund and with easy access to Copenhagen’s city center. Being in the near proximity to Copenhagen Airport, the expectations to the increasing number of travelers, destinations, and future expansion of the airport itself are high. That is why Core Hospitality is looking forward to welcoming guests inside Quality Airport Hotel Dan as of May 1st, 2018. Peter Haaber, CEO of Core Hospitality and Zleep Hotels, says:
“This is a large and exciting project that we can finally announce. Apart from being our largest hotel, Quality Airport Hotel Dan is a hotel with great potential. We expect, with its location near the airport and our cooperation with Nordic Choice Hotels, to continue the positive development that the hotel is experiencing. The hotel is the second property in Core Hospitality and the 11th when combined with our hotels under the Zleep Hotels brand. Our pipeline boasts another five Zleep hotels and two Moxy hotels in Denmark and Norway, so we are experiencing a significant growth period, which will now be further strengthened by this wonderful opportunity in Copenhagen.”
Exciting collaborations for Core Hospitality
The operational takeover of Quality Airport Hotel Dan is a lease agreement between Core Hospitality and the Scandinavian hotel property investor, Midstar, who owns the hotel. Core Hospitality, furthermore, enters a franchise agreement with Nordic Choice Hotels, who owns the Quality Hotels brand.
