The hotel that rises above the Triangeln shopping centre was actually Scandic's flagship in Malmö at the start of the millennium, before Hilton took it over in 2002. Ten years later, Scandic has signed a new contract with the landlord Vasakronan to take over the hotel and return the Scandic sign to the top of Malmö's third tallest building. Scandic currently has four hotels in Malmö: Scandic S:t Jörgen, Scandic Kramer, Scandic Segevång and Scandic Malmö City. Scandic Triangeln, old and new, is a landmark that most Malmö residents – and visitors – have seen and have a relationship with. It is a classic hotel that, after refurbishment, will provide an excellent complement to the rest of the Scandic family. It also has large rooms, an extensive range of high-capacity meeting rooms and a function suite, something that Scandic in Malmö lacks at the moment. Joakim Elveroth is General Manager at Scandic S:t Jörgen and District Manager of Scandic South:"The hotel's location is perfect and it feels incredibly exciting to be able to open its doors as a Scandic once the whole of the Triangeln redevelopment is completed in 2013. Proximity to good transport links and the city centre, with its great shopping, is a huge plus."
