GolfStar chooses First Hotels
Located between Stockholm and Arlanda, the newest First Hotel member, First Hotel Lindö Park, offers three golf courses in addition to a restaurant and conference facilities. The hotel caters to both leisure and business travellers.
The latest newcomer to the First Hotel family is located in Vallentuna, 27 kilometres from Arlanda and 32 kilometres from Stockholm. The hotel is owned by GolfStar, which also owns the three golf courses by the hotel.
“First Hotel Lindö Park is perfectly situated and surrounded by one of Northern Europe’s largest golf courses. The hotel offers excellent conference facilities and there is a variety of leisure activities in the immediate vicinity, such as tennis, golf and winter cross-country skiing,” says Vibeke Raddum, CEO of First Hotels.
The hotel is operated by Frame Invest – the operator behind First Hotel Arlanda Airport and First Hotel Norrtull.
Ambitious goals
Fredrik Ramén, Chairman of Frame Invest, has a clear vision for the hotel:
“We want First Hotel Lindö Park to become just as natural a meeting place for the business traveller as for leisure holidaymakers and golfing enthusiasts. The hotel restaurant and bar will be easily accessible as meeting spaces from morning till evening,” says Fredrik Ramén.
GolfStars founder and working Chairman, Tony Trigell, is pleased with the team.
“It’s a pleasure to welcome both First Hotels and Frame Invest as partners. This will strengthen the professional execution of the hotel and restaurant operations as well as provide better service and accessibility for anyone visiting the Lindö facility,” Tony Trigell says.
Focusing on greater Stockholm
First Hotels already has seven hotels in Stockholm in addition to hotels in Arlanda as well as such densely populated cities as Eskilstuna, Södertälje and Norrköping.
“With First Hotel Lindö Park, we further strengthen our position in one of the strongest hotel markets in Scandinavia. We now have well over 40 hotels in Sweden and believe in further growth this year,” says Vibeke Raddum.
