The new luxury boutique hotel is in iconic brewery buildings at Carlsberg City District in Copenhagen
You are probably thinking about beer when reading ‘Carlsberg’. But what you might not know is, that Carlsberg is also a city district in the centre of Copenhagen called Carlsberg City District, where the beer was produced from 1847-2008 in iconic buildings, which in 2019 will reopen as a luxury boutique hotel. The Danish boutique hotel chain Brøchner Hotels is expanding rapidly the coming years. In 2019 the hotel chain will open a new boutique hotel in the iconic brewery buildings and historic surroundings in the urban renewal of Carlsberg City District located in the centre of Copenhagen, next to the Meat Packing District, known for its vivid bar and restaurant scene. The hotel is named Hotel Ottilia, in acknowledgement of the wife of the famous brewer Carl Jacobsen, who is the founder of the world-famous beer Carlsberg. Hotel Ottilia will be the first hotel in this area with 155 rooms, conference facilities, bars, a new spa concept, and a rooftop terrace overlooking Copenhagen with a new Italian restaurant.
A one-of-a-kind experience for guests and locals
When arriving at Hotel Ottilia guests are met with the fascinating industrial buildings; Malt chamber and the historic, heritage-listed building Storage Cellar 3. This building has 64 golden discs in 5 rows on its façade and have a new restaurant at the rooftop terrace commanding a spectacular view of Copenhagen. The buildings are protected, thus all facades are being preserved while the inside is carefully transformed into a luxury boutique hotel with great respect, care and attention for the original architecture and history. Karim Nielsen, CEO at Brøchner Hotels, sees the historic surroundings as a great advantage for the hotel. “We are very aware that we will become part of a piece of Danish industrial history when we move into Carlsberg City District. As an authentic boutique hotel commands, we will bring the history of the buildings into the design of the hotel. The grain silos, malt houses and machines will be incorporated into the interior and become part of the hotel’s story.”
