Hotell Triangeln, 20-floor skyscraper in central Malmö, Sweden
Hotell Triangeln is a 20-floor skyscraper in central Malmö offering 221 rooms across its levels. The building features modern amenities including air conditioning, flat-screen televisions, and coffee makers throughout the guest rooms.
The tower was completed in 1989 as Sheraton Malmö City, became Scandic Hotel Triangeln in 1997 and Hilton Malmö City in 2002, before Scandic took over in January 2013. Construction followed local political controversy and is said to have contributed to the Social Democrats' loss in Malmö's 1985 municipal election. The new centre-right leadership under Joakim Ollén revised the plans so that Södra Förstadsgatan remained an open street.
The building's name comes from Triangeln, the central Malmö square where it stands, and since January 2013 Scandic has run the hotel as Scandic Triangeln. Three glass lifts run on the outside of the tower and can be seen from the street below. The hotel and the adjoining Triangeln shopping centre were both designed by architect Greger Dahlström of Riksbyggen Konsult AB.
The building sits near public transportation and within walking distance to Stortorget square in the city center. From this location, guests can easily reach shopping areas and cultural landmarks on foot.
The building's three glass lifts are mounted on the outside and can be seen from the street, so passers-by watch them travel up the facade. The hotel and the adjoining Triangeln shopping centre were both drawn by architect Greger Dahlström of Riksbyggen Konsult AB.
