Scandic has opened its newest hotel in one of Frankfurt’s top locations just steps from the Main river and minutes from the European Central Bank. Scandic Frankfurt Hafenpark, which has 505 hotel rooms and event space for up to 570 people, has been designed to offer “meetings in the park” as a continuation of the Hafenpark park outside its doors. The hotel is part of the new Hafenpark Quartier Frankfurt development designed by Hamburg-based architect Hadi Teherani. Balancing individuality, a wealth of green space and Nordic style, it takes a whole new approach to the future of travel and work, bringing the outdoors inside. Scandic Frankfurt Hafenpark also offers a gym, sauna and relaxation area, and a 320-seat restaurant with an open show kitchen.
"The Hafenpark Quartier development has given Frankfurt a vibrant neighborhood brimming with energy. And in addition to expanding our range in the city, our new hotel gives Scandic a great opportunity to continue expanding into large German cities. We think there’s no better place for us to turn our vision of the next generation of conference hotels into reality," said Michel Schutzbach, Head of Europe, Scandic Hotels.
Scandic Frankfurt Hafenpark stands out for its unique meetings and events concept. The centerpiece is the hotel’s 600-square-meter ballroom, featuring Germany’s largest Skyfold walls. The space can be divided into three rooms and is part of the Meeting Park area that includes 14 conference rooms.
"Scandic Frankfurt Hafenpark is first and foremost an event venue with hotel rooms. Our goal is to give guests as much freedom as possible to plan their events and make even unusual requests possible. Together with my fantastic team, I’m proud to open our doors today to create world class hotel experiences for all our guests," commented Heiko Kain, General Manager, Scandic Frankfurt Hafenpark.
Scandic Frankfurt Hafenpark is Scandic’s sixth hotel in Germany. The new hotel strengthens Scandic’s presence in the German hotel market and after the opening, the company will operate a total of 2,150 rooms in the country.
