The first hotel will be ready in late 2009 and the rest in the following years.

Central location
The 75,000 m2 congress and hotel complex will be located within walking distance of Copenhagen's Central Station and with easy access to Copenhagen Airport. The complex will be designed by Danish architect Kim Utzon, who also worked on the chain's latest hotel, Copenhagen Island, located directly across from the site of the new complex.

17,000 hotel rooms
Copenhagen currently offers more than 13,000 hotel rooms. Approx. another 3,000 rooms are already confirmed for the coming years and, with the additional 1,300 rooms in the new complex, the city's total capacity will reach 17,000 rooms.

The Arp-Hansen Hotel Group currently owns 1,700 rooms in Copenhagen divided over nine hotel properties. With the new complex the group will underline its position as the city's largest player on the hotel market.
