another new hotel

The former offices of Falck on Bernstorffsgade are being converted by new owners - the Arp-Hansen Group - into a hotel or rather into a luxury hostel with 1,650 beds that is to be called Next House.

All original cladding has been removed and work has started within the original concrete frame that will be retained.

With Cabinn City just 65 metres away on the opposite side of the square; a large Marriott hotel immediately to the south, just 140 metres away; a new hotel, The Spectrum, that will have 632 beds, being built a block away to the east and, 500 metres to the west, The Tivoli Hotel with 679 rooms next to the new Cabinn Hotel Dybbølsbro that will have 1,220 rooms when finished, then why have planners allowed yet another hotel here? Surely, this building would have been ideal for the student housing that is desperately needed in the city even if such a development had needed tax breaks or financial support from central or city government?
