COPENHAGEN—InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has opened its first hotel in Denmark with the Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers. The 366-room Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers stands 85 meters tall and offers views of the entire Oeresund region. The Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers is one of the world’s greenest hotels with EU Green Building and Green Key certification. The hotel is a member of the U.N. Global Compact. The hotel building is on a journey to becoming carbon neutral. Environmentally responsible technology is used throughout the hotel, including the first groundwater-based cooling and heating system in Denmark, expected to reduce the energy used in the hotel for heating and cooling by almost 90 percent, as well as low energy lighting and hand dryers. The largest solar panel park in Northern Europe is integrated into the building, covering all the hotel’s sunny facades.
The hotel is located minutes away from Copenhagen International Airport and a stone’s throw from the motorway, underground and overland train stations, providing easy access to attractions such as Tivoli, the Royal Castle and Nyhavn. The hotel has a bar and a Scandinavian restaurant as well as 3,500 square meters of meeting room space made up of 12 flexible meeting rooms and a large ballroom that can accommodate up to 800 guests. All bedrooms are equipped with designer furniture, a flat screen TV, adjustable air-conditioning, a mini bar and a safety deposit box. The hotel is operated by Copenhagen Hotel Management under a 20-year franchise agreement with IHG.
“Our location is known as the crossroads of Scandinavia because it’s the access point for Denmark, Sweden and other Nordic countries, making it a great destination for domestic and international business travellers,” said Allan L. Agerholm, CEO and co-owner of Copenhagen Hotel Management. “Crowne Plaza hotels are designed for guests who enjoy business travel and want to make the most of their stay and we felt that Copenhagen needed a hotel like this.”
“We have more than 350 Crowne Plaza hotels in nearly 50 countries around the world so we’re excited to bring Crowne Plaza to Denmark for the first time,” said Kirk Kinsell, president, Europe, Middle East and Africa, IHG. “Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers will offer a comfortable, stylish and accessible base for guests traveling on business or on a holiday or short break.”
