michswiss - as you noticed the Scandic continental (which used to be the Nr 1 hotel in Helsinki 20 years ago - even President Reagan stayed there) has gone down dramatically over the years, not least because the management hasn't done any refurbishing which is long overdue.
Check out the Kamp and you will notice that the two hotels are in a totally different category, really.

Scandic & HHonors
I remember reading that Hilton had taken over Scandic Hotels in Scandinavia, this past June or July.
Does one get points for staying at a Scandic hotel? I have looked on the Hhonors website and can find no reference to Scandic at all.
I have a trip to Copenhagen coming up in January, and I believe that I am being put up at a Scandic hotel - and just wondered in I can accumulate points and/or stays...

From a "Scandic Hilton" brochure in as Hilton room today.
"later this year everyone will be able to collect Hilton HHonors Points in both Hilton and Scandic Hotels...."
They are running out of time for later this year.

LAX, LHR, CDG, et.al.

No official news from Hilton yet, but a similar issue popped up here:

Seems like an idea to join Scandic Club and then have your status & points merged with HHonors when they get everything sorted out...

I stayed at a Scandic in Rovaniemi, Finland (right on the Arctic Circle, brrrrrr 
) back in November. At check in I asked if they accepted HHonors cards yet, and the guy said yes. As a Gold I recieved ~$10 off coupons for the restaurant there, but no room upgrade, although I don't know if they had any different levels of rooms at this hotel. So it appears that status is recognized at Scandic, but no stay credit yet.

Anyone knows when you will be able to earn Hhonors points on Scandic? I do know that Scandic in Sweden got the Hilton booking system a few weeks ago.
Can we expect some kind of promo when Scandic joins? That would be great for us people living in Scandinavia already.

I received a direct mailer a few weeks back from Scandic (where I was/am a member) saying it was niw all systems go with Hilton, and that my membership would merge.
Getting a free room in Iceland will be nice.

I stayed at a Scandic Hotel in Reyjkavik Iceland several times and got points in the Scandic plan. It was one of the leading Hotels there. Is that not a Scandic now?
