Scandic Palace Hotel

Scandic Palace Hotel stands at Rådhuspladsen 57, on City Hall Square in the centre of Copenhagen, Denmark. The hotel occupies a landmark building dating from 1910, and the facade faces the square, which is the traditional hub of the city's bus network and the point where the pedestrian street Strøget begins. Tivoli Gardens and Copenhagen Central Station are only a few minutes' walk away, the Metro station at Rådhuspladsen is nearby, and Nyhavn and the Christiansborg area can be reached on foot in about fifteen minutes. The building has the ornate, early twentieth-century character typical of the area, and the interiors combine period architecture with modern Scandic styling. Rooms are offered as Standard, Superior and Family rooms as well as Suites, so the hotel works for couples, families and business visitors. Amenities include a restaurant, a bar, a fitness centre, wifi, a lift and a concierge service. Breakfast is a buffet in the Scandic style, with a broad selection of Nordic and international items, and the hotel restaurant and bar cover evening dining. There is no spa or pool. Indicative double-room rates run from about DKK 1,100 to DKK 2,500 per night depending on season, placing it in the mid-range tier. Service follows the practical, efficient approach of the Scandic chain, and the hotel is often chosen for its location rather than for lavish extras. The square outside is busy at all hours, hosts events, demonstrations and the Christmas season displays, and can be noisy, so light sleepers should request a room away from the square. As a central base with excellent transport links, it is well suited to first-time visitors who plan to walk to most sights.
