US private equity fund Starwood Capital has acquired the Skt. Petri Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark from Strawberry Forever, part of Norwegian billionaire Petter Stordalen’s Strawberry Group, that also owns Nordic Choice Hotels. Located in the centre of Copenhagen, the 288-room hotel also includes approximately 4,500 sqm of leisure and retail space located on the ground floor of the hotel and is reported to have transacted for a price of €144 million (€500,000 per key). Post-acquisition, the hotel is set to be redeveloped, however, in the interim will continue to be managed by the Strawberry Hospitality Group.
