Denmark: Marriott International has signed an agreement with Danish hotel operator Core Hospitality to bring the first Residence Inn by Marriott to the Nordics.
Residence Inn by Marriott Copenhagen, Nordhavn will be located in Copenhagen’s North Harbour district, five kilometres from the city centre. Owned by PFA Properties, the hotel will become part of the group’s Nordø development project in the North Harbour area. Construction work began in Q2 2020, and the property is expected to open in 2023.
“The introduction of the Residence Inn by Marriott brand in the Nordics reinforces the demand we’re seeing for international hotel brands in the region and for the longer stay market,” said Axel Steinbach, director of international hotel development, Nordics, Marriott International. “We’re delighted to work with Core Hospitality to bring this key project to Copenhagen.”
Per Denker Sørensen, CEO of Core Hospitality, said: “We are thrilled to be working with Marriott International to sign the debut of Residence Inn by Marriott in the Nordics. Core Hospitality and PFA Properties have high ambitions for the hotel’s sustainability. We strive to achieve multiple eco-certificates, including the prestigious ‘DGNB Gold’ for a sustainable building and ‘Green Key’ for sustainable operations.”
Residence Inn by Marriott Copenhagen, Nordhavn will feature 95 apartment-style suites with separate living, working and sleeping areas. Designed by Henning Larsen Architects, all guestrooms will feature an ocean or courtyard view, dedicated desk space and a fully functional kitchen. Guests will also have access to the property’s private lounge, fitness facilities and bicycle rental during their stay.
Situated in the city’s transformed North Harbour district, one of Europe’s largest new urban development areas, the property is close to the Sandkaj harbour bath, Lüder’s recreational space, a cinema, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes. The property will be within walking distance of most embassies in Copenhagen, with easy-to-access transport links to the city centre, international airport and Oslo and Norway via the DFDS Ferry. Copenhagen’s largest sports arena, Parken, is also located nearby.
