The house
Choice HotelsGeometric conference tower
Conceived as a small city, the complex runs like a civic crossroads where hotel guests, conference delegates, and concertgoers mingle.
What it’s good at
Notable
Geometric ceramic towers enclose an atrium planned like narrow medieval street plazas.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Malmo Saluhall's artisan food counters sit right across the street, and the central train station is a five-minute walk over the canal.
The rooms
Rooms take a clean Scandinavian approach, with upper floors looking out across the harbour toward the Oresund Bridge.
The spa & gym
At the table
Grand Italian serves house-made pasta 85 meters above the city, and a rooftop terrace pours drinks during summer.
How it began
The towers rose on reclaimed nineteenth-century port land on Universitetsholmen, transforming the historic fish harbor into a cultural quarter in 2015.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
