Miklagard hotell
Miklagard hotell is part of the Haut Nordic group. We work both with self-developed concepts and franchise concepts. Haut Nordic currently operates three hotels and several restaurants. We are an aggressive, innovative and different hotel and restaurant group that emphasizes creativity and personal service in our work to always meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.
Haut Nordic Chooses NetNordic as the Main Technology Supplier for Miklagard Hotel!
In October 2020, Haut Nordic will open the beautiful Miklagard Hotel. The hotel has an attractive location by Miklagard Golf Club and is only ten minutes from Oslo Airport Gardermoen. Miklagard Hotel will have 500 guest rooms opened in two phases, fantastic conference facilities, and an inviting spa and wellness area.
The Challenge for Miklagard Hotel
In connection with this large project, Haut Nordic wanted to engage a hotel technology supplier that not only had solid experience in the industry but could also deliver as comprehensive a technology package as possible. This was to reduce the number of involved suppliers for better project execution. It was also crucial for Haut Nordic that the chosen supplier could practically act as a strategic partner—a partner with the expertise and ability to take a more holistic responsibility for coordinating and executing technical deliveries, which also included other suppliers for the project.
Technologically, Haut Nordic had a prerequisite that visitors to Miklagard Hotel should experience the technology in the hotel as discreet yet functional. It was also a requirement that the services to be delivered were cloud-based, so the hotel would have no responsibility for operations, maintenance, or upgrades.
The Solution from NetNordic
After a comprehensive evaluation, NetNordic was chosen as the total supplier for Miklagard Hotel. All technology will be delivered as cloud-based services over the same platform. Through this cloud platform, Haut Nordic will be able to deliver all services not only to Miklagard Hotel but also to all other existing and future hotels belonging to the company. Upon opening, Miklagard Hotel will receive WIFI, networking, telephony, video conferencing, digital signage, meeting room technology, and TV services. As part of the TV delivery, a cloud-based TV headend is also included. The TV headend distributes TV channels and entertainment services to all rooms in the hotel, as well as SMART TVs with integrated casting services.
The platform delivered to Miklagard Hotel is flexible and scalable, providing the hotel with a favorable and predictable cost structure. At the same time, the hotel avoids responsibility for operations, maintenance, or upgrades of the delivered technology.

- Cloud-based delivery of network (LAN) for administration, as well as IPTV and more

Miklagard Hotel is Haut Nordic’s largest project to date
It will operate in a demanding market with high expectations for the experience. In order to build a good reputation from day one, it is critical for Haut Nordic that Miklagard Hotel is technically functional from the start. NetNordic has an extended responsibility for delivering technical solutions to the hotel. We are also responsible for coordinating with other suppliers to ensure that deadlines are met.
Delivery-wise, everything is now well set for the hotel to welcome excited and engaged customers and staff as planned in early October 2020.
