Marriott International has signed an agreement with Danish hotel operator Core Hospitality to bring the first Residence Inn by Marriott to the Nordics. Located in Copenhagen’s North Harbour district, Residence Inn by Marriott Copenhagen, Nordhavn will form part of the group’s Nordø development and is set to open in 2023.
“The introduction of the Residence Inn by Marriott brand in the Nordics reinforces the demand we’re seeing in the region and for the extended stay market,” says Axel Steinbach, Director of International Hotel Development, Nordics, Marriott International. “We’re delighted to bring this key project to Copenhagen.”
Per Denker Sørensen, CEO of Core Hospitality, comments: “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.”
Catering to both business and leisure travellers, the property will feature 95 apartment-style suites, intended to create a home away from home with separate living, working and sleeping areas. Designed by Henning Larsen Architects, they will feature an ocean or courtyard view, dedicated desk space and a fully functional kitchen. Guests will also have access to a private lounge, fitness facilities and bicycle rental during their stay.
The city’s North Harbour district is one of the largest new urban development areas in Europe; the neighbourhood is ideal for longer stays and is home to a number of local offerings such as the Sandkaj harbour bath, Lüder’s recreational space, a cinema, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes. The property will also be within walking distance of most embassies in Copenhagen, with easy transport links to the city centre, international airport, and Oslo and Norway via the DFDS Ferry. The Parken sports arena is nearby too.
Owned by PFA Properties, Residence Inn by Marriott Copenhagen, Nordhavn will join the group’s existing portfolio in the Danish capital, which includes Moxy Copenhagen Sydhavnen and Copenhagen Marriott Hotel.
