Radisson Collection Royal Hotel Copenhagen

Radisson Collection Royal Hotel Copenhagen is a landmark tower at Hammerichsgade 1 in Vesterbro, Copenhagen, Denmark, beside Central Station and Tivoli Gardens. It was designed by the Danish architect Arne Jacobsen and opened around 1960 as the SAS Royal Hotel, and it is regarded as one of the most important works of Danish modernism. Jacobsen designed not only the building but also its interiors and furniture, including the Egg and Swan chairs, which were created for the hotel. The original room 606 has been preserved as a design showpiece and can be viewed by arrangement, which makes the hotel a pilgrimage point for design enthusiasts. The location is excellent for transport: Copenhagen Central Station, the Metro, S-trains and the airport train are within a few minutes' walk, and Rådhuspladsen and Strøget are a short stroll away. Room categories include Business Class Rooms, Superior Rooms, Junior Suites and Suites, and the upper floors give wide views over the city and Tivoli. Amenities include a restaurant and bar, a fitness centre, air conditioning, wifi, a concierge service and lifts. Indicative double-room rates run from about DKK 1,500 to DKK 3,200 per night, in the upper-middle tier. The hotel has a long history of hosting business travellers and airline crews, and service is professional and international in character, although the scale of the building means it feels busier than a small boutique property. It suits design-minded visitors, business travellers and anyone who wants a very well connected base. Because the tower is large and the surrounding area around Central Station is busy and urban, travellers should ask for a high floor away from the street if quiet is a priority, and should arrange any viewing of room 606 in advance.
