Scene
Stark business hotel with a modern vibe and a light-filled lobby
Located in a business area of large office blocks, the Innside by Melia Munich Parkstadt Schwabing is popular with business travelers, but it's a bit removed from tourist attractions to make it a good choice for leisure tourists. This modern building of glass and metal has a spacious and bright lobby area, thanks to the large floor-to-ceiling windows which let in plenty of natural light. Interiors have a stark, industrial-chic look, with exposed concrete walls, wooden floors, and two reception counters of illuminated frosted glass. Large canvasses of abstract photography adorn the walls, and a few white contemporary-style chairs in the reception area provide seating. It's a polished look, though it's far from cozy.
