New congress center to be certified with The Green Key

This year will see the opening of the Tivoli Congress Center and, already during the building phase, the new center has taken into account a range of environmental demands, including those required to receive a Green Key.

Construction is in full swing on Copenhagen's spectacular new conference center, Tivoli Congress Center, and the adjacent, 402-room, themed Tivoli Hotel, right in the heart of the city, only few minutes from Copenhagen City Hall square.

Summer 2010 is the date scheduled for the inauguration of Tivoli Hotel, while Tivoli Congress Center will host its first major event a few months later in the autumn.

The Arp-Hansen Hotel Group is behind the new hotel and congress center. The chain currently has 10 hotels in Copenhagen, all of which have Green Key certification. And, already during the construction phase of both the new hotel and the new congress center, certification has been a major consideration. The Green Key sets standards for conducting a responsible environmental strategy within energy, water consumption, reduction in waste, use of organic produce and a healthy indoor climate.

Capacity of 4,000
Arp-Hansen Hotel Group bought this centre city site in the spring of 2008 and, in partnership with the renowned Danish architect, Kim Utzon, set about building this exciting construction which will offer a maximum capacity of 4,000 people. The center will boast a vast Congress Hall accommodating up to 2,500 delegates; two auditoria with seating capacities of 200 and 400 respectively; along with a total of 20 larger and smaller conference and meeting rooms catering for groups of 6 to 180.

A state-of-the-art business centre; gourmet restaurant; and, up on the 12th floor, a Sky Bar from where guests will be able to take in stunning views over the city and the waterfront, are just a few of the added extras at Tivoli Congress Center.

Next door, Tivoli Hotel will offer visitors to Copenhagen 402 superbly furnished, modern guest rooms with delightful, panoramic views of the Danish capital. As an added attraction hotel guests will be able to enjoy an in-house activity centre with a fully equipped gym, sauna and swimming pool. The hotel is designed to appeal to business people, and to families looking for fun, alternative accommodation.

Tivoli Hotel and Tivoli Congress Center have been given an exciting thematic design touch by the Tivoli Gardens, the city's biggest tourist attraction, with which Arp-Hansen Hotel Group has entered into a strategic alliance. Interaction and cooperation between the two on combined product packages, all the fun of fair, and a bus to shuttle guests between the hotel and the amusement park will add a new dimension to experiencing one of Denmark's top tourist attractions. Tivoli Congress Center and Tivoli Hotel are within walking distance of the Tivoli Gardens.
