We look at what is needed and what is provided in the area. The budget hotel is a good example of that. The Sky City at Arlanda was built with the Scandinavian winters in mind. The hotel is part of a large indoor shopping complex that links the four terminals at the airport. The building itself is actually a plaza.
Guests can walk from the terminal to the hotel without going outside.
SAS has another hotel less than a mile from the airport. Domestic and international traffic connect at Arlanda, creating a natural meeting place for traveling business executives who may not be inclined to take a lengthy trip into the capital. They can do their business right at the hotel. Welke, of the Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel, is looking forward to the expansion at Brussels Airport, which will effectively create a new airport adjacent to the present one. The first phase of the expansion is due to open in June 1994, and Welke is looking for the full effect of this by about 1995.
