HOTELINTEL Consulting acted as advisor for NUMA in sourcing and negotiating the
strategic partnership with Carucel Eiendom and is supporting NUMA's expansion plans in
Scandinavia.
We have supported the NUMA Group in securing a lease agreement with Carucel Eiendom for the 26-room Numa Hallen, Oslo. Situated in an iconic building in a prime location right for the market launch in Norway: The first NUMA hotel in Oslo is a landmarked former post office and is centrally located in a prime location at 15, Dronningens Gate, a short walk from the Opera House and the Royal Palace. It is also within walking distance of Karl Johans Gate and Cinemateket, in an excellent location for leisure and business travelers.
Quote from the press release:
"For NUMA, Norway is an important European market of the future, and we believe our proven successful model is a perfect fit for the local market specifics. We are very pleased to be able to offer our future hotel guests a historic building in a prime location right at the beginning of our market launch in Oslo," explains Dimitri Chandogin. He adds: "As Europe's leading provider
of technology-enabled alternative accommodation, our clear goal is to establish an entirely
new generation of hotels and short-term accommodation together with CARUCEL and thus
innovate the industry in Scandinavia.
Pierre Wilhelm Puggaard, Director at CARUCEL, comments, "NUMA has proven to be extremely resilient under the pressure of the Covid 19 pandemic compared to the traditional hotel industry. We are convinced that this innovative approach to accommodation will experience strong demand across Europe in the coming years, especially from young professionals and digital nomads. Collaborating with NUMA will create a high-quality, customer-focused product with leaner operating cost structures and a more flexible business model in an important European growth market."
