Construction is now in full swing on Copenhagen’s spectacular new conference center, Tivoli Congress Center, and its adjacent thematic companion, the 402-room Tivoli Hotel, right in the heart of the city. Summer 2010 is the date scheduled for the inauguration of Tivoli Hotel, while Tivoli CongressCenter will host its first major event a few months later in the autumn.

Arp-Hansen Hotel Group bought this city centre site in the spring of 2008 and in partnership with a Danish architect of some renown, Kim Utzon, set about building this exciting edifice, which besides a vast Congress Hall accommodating up to 2,500 delegates, boasts 2 superb auditoria with seating capacity of 200 and 400, respectively, along with a total of 20 larger and smaller conference and meeting rooms catering for groups of 6 to 180.

A state-of-art business center, a gourmet restaurant and up on the 12th floor a heady Sky Bar from where guests can take in stunning views out over the city and the waterfront are just a few of the added extras at Tivoli Congress Center. Tivoli Hotel next door offers visitors to the city 402 superbly furnished, modern guest rooms with delightful, panoramic views of the Danish capital. For added gratification hotel guests can avail of an in-house activity center, a fully equipped gym, sauna and swimming pool. The hotel is designed to appeal to business people, and to families looking for a fun alternative.

Tivoli Hotel and Tivoli Congress Center have been given an exciting thematic design touch by the Tivoli Gardens, one of the city's biggest tourist attractions, with which Arp-Hansen Hotel Group has entered into a strategic alliance. Interaction and cooperation between the two on combined product packages, all the fun of fair and a bus to shuttle guests between the hotel and the amusement park will add a new dimension to experiencing the delights of Copenhagen. Tivoli Congress Center and Tivoli Hotel are within walking distance of the Tivoli Gardens.

Arp-Hansen Hotel Group has since 1961 been a major player on the Copenhagen hotel scene and is today the city's biggest hotel chain with more than 1,700 guest rooms spread between nine outstanding city centre locations. Managed and marketed under the Arp-Hansen Hotel Group insignia, member hotels are a roll call of some of the best known names in Copenhagen's hospitality business including Phoenix Copenhagen, 71 Nyhavn Hotel, Imperial Hotel, Grand Hotel, The Square, Copenhagen Island, Copenhagen Strand, Hotel Opera and Gentofte Hotel. And a tenth will join the ranks this autumn when the group opens its new, ultra modern, low-price, 510-room Wakeup Copenhagen.

Without exception, all of the group's hotels are to be found at some of the best addresses in the city - Town Hall Square, Nyhavn, Bredgade, across from the Royal Theatre, on the waterfront, beside Central Station, near the Tivoli Gardens and Vesterport Station.

With sound business practices, backed by a programme of constant expansion and growth the group intends to realise its vision of becoming Copenhagen's most profitable and interesting hotel enterprise in terms of quality product, customer and guest relations and a satisfied professional workforce.
