New hotels for Copenhagen

The Danish capital is set to see a rise of around 3,000 hotel rooms over the next two years, with four new hotels  this year and a further three planned for 2010. Many have extensive meetings facilities, with a new conference centre also set to launch in the city next year.

 

 Denmark’s first floating hotel, Copenhagen Living opened in June. Located in the inner harbour, ten minutes walk from City Hall Square, the 12-room hotel features rooms decorated by Danish artists.

September will see the full opening of the budget 710-room Cabinn Metro located in the Orestad quarter, near the convention and congress venue Bella Center. The hotel offers a breakfast cafe, lobby bar and business centre, as well as two meeting rooms for up to 30 people.
