Comwell Copenhagen Portside

Comwell Copenhagen Portside is a hotel at Dampfærgevej 20 in the Nordhavn harbour area of Copenhagen, Denmark, in the Østerbro district north of the city centre. The location is near the cruise terminals and the Langelinie promenade, which leads to the Little Mermaid statue, the Kastellet fortress and the Churchill Park, giving visitors a waterfront setting rather than a dense old-town one. The hotel is positioned for harbour views, with some rooms overlooking the water and the ships that dock at the nearby quays. Nordhavn has developed rapidly in recent years, with new architecture, harbour baths, cafés and restaurants, and the Orientkaj metro station and S-train connections provide links into central Copenhagen in a short time. Kongens Nytorv and Nyhavn can be reached in roughly twenty to thirty minutes by transit or bicycle. The hotel is part of the Comwell group, a Danish chain with a focus on conference and leisure hotels, and the interior follows a modern, functional style. Rooms are spacious by Copenhagen standards, and categories vary from standard doubles to larger rooms; the best views are from higher floors facing the harbour. Dining is provided by an on-site restaurant and a bar, and breakfast is generally a buffet with Danish and international items. The hotel is suited to cruise passengers who arrive or depart from the nearby terminals, to business visitors attending meetings in the harbour area, and to travellers who prefer a quieter base near the waterfront. Service is professional and geared toward groups and conferences, though individual guests are equally welcome. Rates are in the mid-range for the city and usually lower than hotels in the old town, which makes it a value choice for those willing to travel a little for sightseeing. In summer, the harbour area is pleasant for walks, swimming at nearby harbour baths and cycling along the waterfront.
