Nordic light and understated luxury at the harbour promenade
Welcome to Copenhagen Strand, the city’s newly transformed waterfront hotel at Copenhagen’s harbour promenade! You can arrive by boat, car or the Metro, and the location is unique with just a few minutes’ walk to Nyhavn, the Royal Residence Amalienborg Palace, Kongens Nytorv, and the famous shopping street “Strøget”.
Enjoy the tranquility of the 4-star rooms decorated in Scandinavian design inspired by the Nordic light, the sea and the Danish cosiness. The interior is handpicked with emphasis on discreet luxury, a stylish touch and extra comfort, which include amazing beds, a private tea and coffee set, safety box and mini bar. Use the hotel lobby and restaurant as your own venue; the well-assorted bar and the many comfortable corners in the lobby are perfect for informal meetings and social gatherings.
At the elegant waterfront hotel you can ask for a deckchair in the summer and enjoy the harbour promenade in front of the hotel – or you can go jogging or stroll along the waterside at Amalienborg Palace and Langelinie. The district is buzzing with cafés, culture and culinary temptations.
SUSTAINABLE TOURISM
We at the Arp-Hansen Hotel Group are working to promote and develop sustainable tourism. We are doing this by integrating responsible consumption and production into our business. This applies to our choice of suppliers and cooperation partners and, in particular, to our own actions.
Our suppliers and cooperation partners have to commit themselves to living up to our Code of Conduct. Our employees act based on our sustainability principles, which promote the right mindset.
We use the UN’s Global Sustainability Goals as our guiding principle, with a particular emphasis on goals no. 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). It is here that we feel that we can make the biggest and most noticeable difference in relation to our work.
UN’S GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY GOALS AND ECOLABELS
We use the UN’s Global Sustainability Goals as our guiding principle, with a particular emphasis on goals no. 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). It is here that we feel that we can make the biggest and most noticeable difference in relation to our work.
As a complement to the global goals, we work with a number of environmental labels and certifications. They bind us very specifically to actions that can be measured so we can see if the things we do generate the desired effect.
More specifically, we have 5 strategic focus areas, where we have good underlying data and can therefore see if we can really change something. By changing, for example, the containers for soap, shampoo and lotions, we can eliminate 1,350,000 million of containers every year. The five focus areas are:
- Waste sorting
- From spring to tap water
- From small plastic containers to larger containers
- Increased focus on The Organic Cuisine Label and Green Restaurant
- Further reduction in food waste
WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK...
As we amass experience and are inspired by the work of others, we can perhaps supplement with more focus areas. We feel that we are on the right track with our sustainability strategy and specific initiatives. But this is not equal to knowing everything. In other words, we are really looking forward to any ideas or input you could possibly have about how we can do even more.
