Denmark’s largest hotel open for business

Press information
April 2008

June 1 will see the partial opening of the CABINN Metro, Denmark's largest hotel. The hotel's striking design is by world renowned architect Daniel Libeskind and is set to make it a Copenhagen landmark.

The dramatic new CABINN Metro will open on 1 June in the north-west corner of Copenhagen's fast-growing city quarter, Ørestad. The hotel is designed by the studio of Daniel Libeskind, one of the world's most famous and respected architects, also responsible for the design of the new World Trade Centre site in New York.

The hotel is destined to become one of the city's architectural landmarks in its own right, with its striking red gable and a blue and grey facade. It will initially open with 350 rooms with the rest of its 710 rooms coming on stream by 1 October 2009, making it the largest hotel in Denmark.

The hotel is extremely well located, roughly 4-5km from Copenhagen International Airport and the city centre in Ørestad, one of Europe's fastest growing urban developments. It is within walking distance of Scandinavia's largest conference and exhibition venue, Bella Center, beside Scandinavia's largest shopping mall, Fields, and boasts excellent transport links, including an adjacent Metro station, mainline railway station and motorway to Sweden nearby.

The hotel will be the seventh in the CABINN chain, offering a similar style of superb value, high quality but relatively ‘no frills' service as its other hotels across Denmark.

As well as the record breaking number of rooms, CABINN Metro will have a conference centre for up to 200 people; a breakfast restaurant for 150; free wireless Internet connection in all rooms; 24 hour reception; a lobby bar; business centre; and cafe. Meanwhile, a new golf course, the Royal Golf Centre's Open Course, will open on the other side of the road from CABINN Metro for the new season in 2008.

‘CABINN is showing the way forward for future hotel development in Copenhagen as the first hotel with a strong international profile to open in Ørestad. There is no doubt that what CABINN is offering in terms of its low overnight cost combined with this bold architecture will be a definite hit for tourists, business travellers and conference delegates,' comments Lars Bernhard Jøregensen, managing director of Wonderful Copenhagen CVB.
