It is located close to the city center and well-connected to the airport and the Neue Messe München exhibition center. Scandic Munich Macherei is designed by New York architects HWKN Hollwich Kushner and will be inspired by typical former developed industrial areas such as Brooklyn in New Yorkand is expected to open in 2021.

Scandic has four hotels in operation in Germany - two in Berlin, one in Hamburg and one in Frankfurt and a second Scandic hotel will open in Frankfurt in 2021. Expanding to Munich confirms the company's German focus and strategy and the new hotel will be an important addition to Scandic's hotel portfolio.
