About Me

Petter Stordalen and his three children own Scandinavia's largest hotel chain, Nordic Choice Hotels, which has 180 high-end hotels in five countries. In 2018 he signed over almost all ownership, but none of the control, of the hotel chain to his kids; he has vowed to keep control until his death. Stordalen got his start working at his father's grocery store at age 10, and later helped found one of Norway's largest commercial real estate firms. He married model-turned-physician Gunhild Stordalen in a lavish $5 million affair officiated by Irish singer Bob Geldof in 2010.
