Pandox AB has entered into an agreement to acquire Hilton Grand Place Brussels,
Belgium. The hotel is a full service hotel in the premium segment with 224 rooms

Operator Activities. For 2017 the hotel is expected to contribute the equivalent
of approximately MSEK 125 in revenue and MSEK 20 in cash earnings.
“The acquisition of Hilton Grand Place Brussels is industrially sound and offers
good potential. The hotel is strategically located adjacent to the Grand Place
in Brussels with direct access to the central station, and benefits from both
business and leisure demand. Based on its location, product, brand and meeting
offering the hotel has good prospects to further gain market shares. The hotel
property adds a distinct value to Pandox’s hotel portfolio in the continued
development of the hotel market in Brussels”, says Anders Nissen, CEO of Pandox.
