Scandic has just opened a new hotel in Frankfurt, Scandic Frankfurt Hafenpark, located near to the Main river and minute-walk from the European Central Bank.

Scandic Frankfurt Hafenpark offers 505 hotel rooms which feature Scandic's Room Collection concept, an event space for up to 570 people, a gym, sauna and relaxation area, and a 320-seat restaurant with an open show kitchen.

The hotel is part of the new Hafenpark Quartier Frankfurt development designed by Hamburg-based architect Hadi Teherani, and has been designed to offer "meetings in the park" as a continuation of the Hafenpark park outside its doors.

The property 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.

As at all Scandic hotels, sustainability is a central part of Scandic Frankfurt Hafenpark. The hotel aims to be certified by the Nordic Swan Ecolabel when the label is introduced in Germany in 2023. The hotel property will also be environmentally certified according to DGNB Gold.

To this end, each guestroom has been designed with circularity in mind and parts of the room interiors are environmentally certified or made from recycled materials. The interiors have a lifespan of up to 15 years and most materials can be reused or recycled during renovations

The hotel is located near various public transportation and bikes are available for rent. Another green feature is the beehives that will be kept on the roof of the building, contributing to the ecosystem of the area.

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.
