Best Western Hotels Norway Continues

Its Strategic Expansion!

 

Oslo (June 29 ^th, 2009) – Best Western Hotels Norway’s strategic expansion across Norway will reach a new milestone in July 2009, the opening of 7 new rebranded properties.

In the beginning of 2008, Best Western Hotels Norway had 14 hotels and can now count 26 hotels.

 

“Several of the new hotels fall into the top ten most desirable destinations and it is a great thrill for Best Western Hotels Norway to finally enter these highly attractive markets”, says Hege Ramm, CEO of Best Western Hotels Norway.
