A HOTEL IN COPENHAGEN

The landmark building from 1903 in the heart of
Copenhagen is now a haven for guests from all corners
of the world. The developer responsible for the project,
Ralf Thalén, stresses that the Nobis Hospitality Group
wants every hotel they create to have its own
expression and atmosphere that is unique and
memorable. For Thalén it is key that each hotel starts
with a great location, an intriguing story and has at
least one outstanding feature, be it a view of the ocean,
a nearby attraction or an inspiring architectural
feature. In the case of Nobis Hotel Copenhagen, the
location is perfect. Right in the city center, just off
Hans Christian Andersen Boulevard and next to the
Glyptoteket Art Museum – a sculptural oasis with a lush
winter garden. It is the hotel’s breathtaking entrance
stairway, however, that completely convinced Thalén
and his business partners. He says that when they first
visited the site and saw it, they said: ‘We have to do this!’
