The hotel provides everything needed for a longer stay in Outletcity and the surrounding area.

The hotel, which is located in the centre of the Outletcity, was realised by the blocher+partners architecture firm and was finished within 20 months of construction. “From an urban planning perspective, the Moxy is like a piece of the puzzle: as a hotel, it rounds off
Outletcity and enriches the customer experience. We brought the glamour and style of this special location into the interior; the lobby reflects the fashion world that surrounds it“ so Anja Pangerl, partner blocher+partners Stuttgart.

Fashion is the motto at Moxy Outletcity Metzingen. Playful, yet stylish details give the hotel a unique and individual character. Elements like spools of thread, mannequins or coat hangers are tastefully arranged and make the connection to all of Outletcity Metzingen with its unique history. At Moxy Outletcity Metzingen, style meets comfort, design and hospitality. 

The extraordinary lobby serves as the centrepiece of the hotel and is designed to resemble a fashion runway. “It is a fantastic offer for our regional and international guests. The attractive design fits perfectly in the ambience of the most successful outlet in Germany and it furthers our claim as a destination for events and experiences.” – Wolfgang Bauer, CEO of Outletcity AG.

Another highlight at the hotel is the view of the most famous international premium and luxury brands, with a close natural backdrop. Thanks to the excellent location in the middle of Outletcity, the guests don’t need to go far to reach Germany’s number one outlet.
