I would be interested to hear from any F Talkers who have stayed in Malmo recently. I had a confirmed reservation at the Renaissance for early January but have been advised that the Hotel is closing in December and they are unable to honour the booking (despite the reservation still showing as confirmed on my Marriott account page).
As alternatives I was looking at the Radisson, Hilton or the Master Johan. I would be grateful for any feedback from anyone who has stayed at these properties.
TripAdvisor is usually dead on, I'd follow their reviews:

I've been by all three of them this year, but I use the Radisson most often, especially when the CARLSONF rate is available. When that rate is not available, I've been "downgrading" to the Clarion Temperance if it's a leisure trip (using points).
I'm not as interested in the Hilton Malmo, primarily because it is not as conveniently situated for me. I still do the Scandic Kramer and St. Jorgen properties, but that too is a function of leisure trips using awards.

Otherwise, it is a little further from the city center but still conveniently located. The service is more like Scandic than Hilton but it is convenient for getting a Hhonors stay credit ;) If you want a stylish Hilton with excellent service, I suggest that you stay at the CPH Hilton instead and take the frequent train to Malmö..

tAround December 12th, there is to be a train connection under the "Triangeln" area where the Hilton Malmo is located that will get rid of the need to walk to the Malmo Central (train) station in order to get to CPH airport by train.

The CPH Hilton is well located even for business in Malmo. The hotel is well-situated for getting the train to Malmo and it's also well-situated for the main CPH train station as well as the CPH Metro system trains.

tsastor (and GUWonder),
Thanks for the suggestions. Decided to stay at the Radisson as it seems like a fairly direct route from there to the University. Will be in Copenhagen for a few days prior to arrival in Malmo so will investigate a stay at the CPH Hilton.
