The project area is 6000-8000 square meters, and the hotel will contain about 140 rooms. Olesen hopes to have worked out most of the details surrounding the project before the year begins.

We hope to reach agreements with relevant actors within a short period of time. No final timetable has been set. We will develop this in collaboration with a development partner, and have not decided who or on what basis. As he writes further, we will conclude agreements with the contractor and operators of the hotel.
