“It went really well. It was fully booked for the dinner in Saturday and almost fully booked for the brunch and everyone seemed to love the concept of HTL bringing in the best experience. We will continue with more surprises,” said Gül Heper, commercial manager, HTL hotels.
“We look at HTL as a modern day hotel chain, where smart solutions, high quality and personal service always is a top priority,” added Heper. “Therefore, we saw the collaboration with POPupSTHLM as a step in the right direction, where the concept always holds a high standard offering the guests an experience out of the ordinary. We also looked forward to treating Stockholm to Hero’s genre breaking menu, that feels both playful and innovative.”
