An insolvency administrator will now decide whether the Tribe Hotel Christian IV AB can continue, and at the same time try to find new owners.

The operating companies were owned by the Norwegian group Flying Elephants, which via its subsidiary company, Host I Sverige, took over 13 different Swedish hotels in the summer of 2020. Host writes in a press release:

"Unfortunately, the pandemic has had a greater negative impact than anyone could have predicted."

Hotell Christian IV is owned by the company Host, but the operation has been managed by another company which has now been declared bankrupt.
