To spot Hotel Triangeln, just look ahead for a tall, modern building with 20 stories, lots of windows, and a glass-covered entrance that sparkles in the Malmö skyline.
You’re standing right in front of one of Malmö’s giants-Hotel Triangeln! Picture this: it’s 1989, hairspray rules the world, and up shoots this 69-meter tower like a mighty elevator race against the sky. If you listen closely, you might almost hear the hum of the three glass elevators whooshing up and down the outside of the building. This skyscraper quickly became famous, not just for its 221 comfy rooms and two luxury suites, but because it’s sort of a local legend. See, before the hotel ever opened its doors, people all over Malmö were arguing about what should be built here-some even say politics flipped upside down because of it! The grand plans were changed, and Södra Förstadsgatan, the bustling street nearby, was saved from getting boxed in. Over the years, the hotel has dressed up in a few different names-Sheraton, Hilton, and now, under Scandic-kind of like a spy with multiple disguises. Some guests come for the view, some for the breakfast, but everybody’s got to agree: Malmö wouldn’t be the same without this towering landmark. Look up and imagine the city’s history swirling around you. Ready for the next adventure?
