Denmark has a long history of hosting successful meetings, conferences and major international events. Danes have a reputation for staying calm even under pressure. This characteristic ensures that all the necessary tasks involved in planning and supervising a conference or meeting will be executed efficiently, regardless of the number of attendees.

Denmark gives you the freedom to create the ideal ambience for any event. Whatever your preferred style of accommodation, there is something to suit. Stay in castles, manor houses in the countryside, five-star cosmopolitan hotels or charming old-fashioned inns. The possibilities are plenty, and all major Danish cities offer top hotel facilities.

In summer 2006 Copenhagen will gain a new island as the Copenhagen Island Hotel will open. The 326-room property is the Arp-Hansen Hotel Group's tenth and largest hotel. There will be conference facilities for up to 90 people with a view over the water, as well as a fitness room, restaurant and bar. The hotel is designed in a light and inviting Scandinavian design.

Hilton and Scandic Hotels have a total of 20 properties throughout Denmark, all offering the highest standards and facilities for meetings and incentive buyers. There are 6 hotels in the Copenhagen area alone.

Hilton Copenhagen Airport (5 star) is located a short walk away from the International Arrival's terminal - yet is only 12 minutes from the city centre. The hotel was voted "Best hotel in Denmark" in 2005 at the Danish Travel Awards, and it offers a total of 29 meeting rooms and a ballroom with capacity for up to 450 people.

Scandic Copenhagen (4 star deluxe) is located in the heart of Copenhagen and offers meeting facilities for up to 1500 delegates. The hotel is undergoing a renovation of all meeting facilities at the moment and will open the doors to the new facilities in May 2006, including 18 flexible meeting rooms with movable walls, 11 individual meeting rooms for up to 60 people and new big, flexible entrance doors to enable exhibitions and product launches.

First Hotel Skt. Petri is situated in the heart of Copenhagen, and the only Danish member of Design hotels. The hotel offers 268 rooms, out of which 55 have wonderful rooftop views of central Copenhagen from private balconies. The combination of the comfortable rooms, the amazing lobby, the splendid brasserie, the trendy café and the famous cocktail bar makes First Hotel Skt. Petri unique in every detail.

The new FRONT Hotel (the former Sophie Amalie Hotel) opened 1st February 2006 as Copenhagen's newest boutique hotel. FRONT appears in a modern, contemporary style with exclusive metropolitan comfort, stylish textiles in warm colours and natural elements such as stone and fire. 

The five-star deluxe Hotel D'Angleterre, with a 19th century interior design and 123 individually decorated rooms, has welcomed many prominent guests, such as royalty, presidents, celebrities and movie stars. Restaurant D'Angleterre, with its unique style and intimate atmosphere, offers gastronomic experiences in abundance and beautiful surroundings.

Hotel Kong Frederik, a charming first class hotel, is perfectly situated in the heart of Copenhagen, close to the pedestrian high street, Strøget, and the amusement park, Tivoli Gardens. The hotel has been completely redecorated in an English-inspired style with a unique atmosphere. All rooms are decorated with light and friendly colours and feature all modern conveniences.

From modern design and architecture to scientific and social innovation, Danes have a fresh and forward-thinking attitude and lifestyle. But we also cherish our history, as represented by our medieval towns and castles, Viking Age finds and past artistic accomplishments. While enthustiastically embracing progress, we never lose sight of our historical traditions - which is what helps to make Denmark such a fascinating and unforgettable destination.


Copenhagen is a modern, vibrant metropolis, where fascinating history coexists with the latest trends in architecture, design, fashion and gastronomy. Old, historic buildings thrive alongside unique modern design. Copenhagen is the true home of contemporary design - a status reflected in the city's dynamic new constructions and shops that lure trendsetters and the design conscious from all over the world.


Says D. Marlow, American Express M6I: " The city's hotels and meeting-places have retained their charm from bygone days, but they nonetheless offer all the modern conveniences, technology and comfort."

Today it is not always enought just to be able to offer high-quality hotels and meeting rooms. Many clients are looking for alternatives to the traditional venues, and so destinations that can offer different and exciting meeting locations are often those that capture interest.


Denmark, in particular the Copenhagen region, offers a wide range of possibilities, both for those who wish to hold a meeting or conference in unusual, creative surroundings, and for those who would like to supplement the professional aspects of their meetings with something special, such as a gala dinner, a team-building activity or perhaps a reception in a very special location.
