Stockholm-based Scandic has signed a deal with Norwegian investor and building contractor Arthur Buchardt and Rosenborg Football Club for a new conference hotel in the city of Trondheim in central Norway.

The 400-room hotel will be located in the city’s Lerkendal area and is expected to open in 2014.

Construction is due to start this month on the 75-metre-high, 20-storey property, which is slated to become an important meeting destination for the region, with room for more than 2,800 conference guests.

This will be Scandic’s second hotel in Trondheim, alongside the 155-room Scandic Solsiden.
