Sorry for the confusion, the free access to the article seems to have expired and now requires a subscription I do not have myself - the Moxy comments were in the later part of that article. Here is another article that references the new hotel, so far not requiring any subscription.

Sounds like the German Moxy openings are pretty much behind schedule. Milan opened on time.
That is my impression - was at Munich airport yesterday and could not see any ground broken for a hotel construction - so given the "five minutes from airport terminal" statement it seems to me the construction has not yet started, making the listed opening date highly unlikely. Similar issue for the Frankfurt airport property that also shows no trace of being constructed in the Gateway Garden area where it is supposed to be located.
