Bespoke walking and running
routes
Is the freedom to incorporate nature into your daily
exercise high on your list of priorities? Then join us on a walking/running
route and explore the hotel’s nature surroundings. We’ve created three
different digital running routes and added them to the RunGo app, which uses
turn-by-turn navigation to show you which route to run, the remaining distance
and which roads or paths you should take. Just like a car’s GPS system.
The shorter three-kilometre route is also recommended as a walk-and-talk route for a healthy break during a meeting or seminar. RunGo is free and available for iOS and Android – for both smartphone and Apple Watch.
Bike rental
Copenhagen is the city of
cyclists. So get out into the fresh air and see the capital alongside the
Copenhageners. You can rent bikes by the day. Just ask at reception. Price per
bicycle per day: DKK 150
Board games
Board games are more popular
than ever nowadays and everyone can take part. We have a varied selection of
board games that you are more than welcome to borrow. Just ask at reception.
NEAREST PLACES TO SWIM
If you’re looking for a refreshing dip, we recommend the harbour bath at
Sandkaj, situated just a stone’s throw from the hotel. Relax, savour life by
the water in the middle of Copenhagen or take a stroll along the promenade. Do
you like the feel of sand between your toes? Visit Amager Beach with its
historic bathing complex, Helgoland. It only takes 15 min. by Metro to get to
the beach.
NEAREST HIGH STREET
In the heart of Copenhagen is Strøget, which was once the longest pedestrianised
street in the world. Strøget takes you from Kongens Nytorv to City Hall Square
and is lined with hundreds of shops, cafés and restaurants. Take a few detours
off Strøget and experience old Copenhagen with its charming alleyways and
innovative shops. In the Århusgade district close to the hotel, the
transformation from the old free port to the modern district is going at full
speed. Guests can find a varied array of original speciality shops and
eateries, all with the same focus as ours: sustainability and great
experiences. The Århusgade district is also known as The Red City.
NEAREST GREEN AREA
Copenhagen is famed for its many green oases. Take a stroll along
Copenhagen's ramparts and experience Kastellet (the Citadel). If you love
unspoiled nature, we recommend that you take the Metro to Amager Common, a
223-hectare nature reserve. If you prefer a longer hike, you can even head out
on the brand-new 21-kilometre-long Amarmino route. For a true forest
experience, we recommend a trip to Dyrehaven (the Deer Park) north of
Copenhagen. Dyrehaven is a large nature park filled with forest
areas, small lakes and open plains. As the name suggests, Dyrehaven is famed
for its more than 2,000 wild deer, and you will most likely encounter a herd of
grazing animals there. The characteristic red gates stand at all entrances. The
most used, Klampenborg gate, is located right by Klampenborg Station.
NEAREST SIGHTS/ATTRACTIONS
Sights, attractions and cultural experiences about in Copenhagen. Among
some of the most famous are Tivoli Gardens, Amalienborg, Christiania,
Christiansborg, the National Museum and the ZOO. Most attractions are included
in the Copenhagen Card, which not only provides free admission but also free
bus, train and Metro travel.
NEAREST PICNIC SPOT
The entire new area of Nordhavn invites reflection and enjoyment along
the quay. There are several small "islands" that you can use.
NEAREST GOLF COURSE
Royal Golf Club enjoys a unique location in a
beautiful natural area on Amager, right next to Bella Center and just a few
minutes from the hotel and Copenhagen city centre. The club has a
first-class international championship course designed by the retired Senior
Chief Designer at Jack Nicklaus, Ron Kirby.
Tivoli
Tivoli Gardens is an amusement park located in the centre of
Copenhagen close to Central Station and Strøget. The Park is the world's second
oldest of its kind, surpassed only by Bakken. Walt Disney drew a great deal of
inspiration from Tivoli, which is almost magical when in full bloom with some
of Denmark’s most beautiful perennials, flowers and shrubs. Enjoy a walk in the
beautiful garden with historic buildings, cosy nooks and fun-filled squeals.
Christiansborg
Christiansborg Palace, or simply Christiansborg, is
located on Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen and is the seat of the Danish
Parliament (Folketinget). The Danish royal family also continues to use various
parts of the palace, including the Royal Reception Rooms, the chapel and the
Royal Stables. The current palace is the latest in a series of buildings that
have occupied the site since the 12th century, and it has been the centre of
power in Denmark since the 15th century. It still houses the most important
central institutions of state power and is often referred to as Rigsborgen or
simply Borgen. Visit Christiansborg and experience the Royal Reception Rooms
with the Great Hall and the Tapestries, the Royal Stables, the Royal Kitchen,
Christiansborg Palace Chapel, and the ruins under the castle.
Christiania
Christiania (also called
Fristaden or just Staden) is an area in the city’s Christianshavn district.
Approx. 800 people make their home here. Christiania is Copenhagen's fourth
largest tourist attraction with half a million visitors each year.
ZOO
Copenhagen Zoo is one of Europe’s oldest zoos, where
you can see more than 4,000 fascinating animals and cross continents in a
pull-along wagon. Come and see the iconic pandas and enjoy a meal alongside
these bamboo-eating bears in the magnificent Panda House. You can get so close
to the polar bears that it will give you chills or see the world from above
like a giraffe.
SMK – the National Gallery of Denmark
SMK – the National Gallery of Denmark is the country’s
national gallery and its leading museum for the visual arts. It is located on
Sølvgade in the city centre, next to Østre Anlæg. The museum houses more than 700
years of art and art history and holds about five special exhibitions annually.
Free guided tours are offered every Sunday for both children and adults.
The Blue Planet
The Blue Planet is Northern
Europe's largest aquarium and is filled with exciting and surprising stories about
life in the water. The aquarium offers both short bursts of adrenaline and
lingering reflections. Learning is made captivating as well as entertaining –
the stories take shape through dedicated storytellers, digital platforms,
interactive screens and exhibitions, wild feeding and plenty of personal
experiences.
Rosenborg Castle
Rosenborg is a castle located in the heart of
Copenhagen. It was originally built as a hermitage by order of King Christian
IV 1606-1607 in a newly laid out park, Kongens Have, outside Copenhagen's ramparts. Today,
it is a cultural history museum that tells the story of the Danish kings over
300 years and exhibits the Danish crown regalia and crown jewels as well as
Denmark's coronation throne.
