Bella Sky hotel has chosen a danish co-operator

When Scandinavia's biggest hotel with 814 rooms opens at Bella Center in summer 2011, it will be in partnership with danish Comwell. The name of the hotel will be Bella Sky - Comwell Hotel Copenhagen.

Next year Scandinavia's leading convention center will open its doors to its own hotel, in direct conjunction to the Bella Center. The DKK 1.6 billion project with two 24-storey leaning towers will be built with an inclination of 15 degrees, a major engineering achievement.

"It will be a fantastically impressive hotel in every way and a landmark for Copenhagen", says Bella Center's Managing Director, Arne Bang Mikkelsen, who has just signed a collaboration agreement with Comwell's CEO Preben Nesager.

"With Comwell, Bella Sky has partnered with Denmark's best meetings and conference organiser. According to the research institute Catinét (IFKA), Comwell enjoys the best reputation among hotel chains in Denmark. This gives Bella Sky just the right profile", says Arne Bang Mikkelsen.

For Preben Nesager, the partnership with Bella Sky Hotel is not just ‘common sense' given so many Comwell customers enquire about a large conference hotel in Copenhagen.

"In collaborating on the Bella Sky hotel, Comwell will also be able to cater for the really big conferences, which is one of Bella Center's competencies. Just take last year with the IOC congress and the COP15 summit", says Preben Nesager.

"And we can benefit from all the Comwell customers who for ages have been wanting a Comwell hotel in Copenhagen for meetings and conferences or for golf, spa and wellness stays", adds Arne Bang Mikkelsen.

Bella Sky is being built by Bella Center and is run in close collaboration with Comwell under a long-term contract.

Facts:
- Comwell has 12 hotels, 641 employees and annual revenue of DKK 500 million.
- Bella Center has 230 employees and annual revenue of more than DKK 450 million. 2009 saw record visitor numbers with 1.2 million guests.
