Scandic Hotels, the largest hotel company in the Nordic countries, has signed a long-term lease agreement with developer B&L Group regarding the operation of a new hotel in Frankfurt.

The conference and event hotel will be part of the new "Hafenpark Quarter", a mixed-use development on the banks of the Main river, close to the city center and next to the new headquarters of the European Central Bank (ECB). It is expected to open in 2021.

The hotel will encompass 22,000 m2 and have 506 rooms and 2,000 m2 of state of the art conference and event space. Scandic Frankfurt Hafenpark will also offer an attractive restaurant and bar, excellent modern fitness facilities as well as one of the largest ballrooms in Frankfurt at 600 m2.

The hotel in Hafenpark is in line with Scandic"s strategy to expand in the largest cities in Germany. The addition of this second hotel in Frankfurt will not only raise awareness of Scandic, but also consolidate our presence in the German market, creating synergies with the Scandic Frankfurt Museumsufer that will open in February. The two hotels complement each other well and they will also boost our operating performance and market share, says Even Frydenberg, President & CEO, Scandic Hotels Group.
