Admiral Hotel hosts board meetings, workshops, day conferences, company dinners, private dinners, wine tastings and receptions for up to 100 guests. The hotel occupies a listed grain warehouse from 1787 at Toldbodgade 24 to 28, on the inner harbor of Copenhagen, a few steps from Nyhavn and Amalienborg Palace.
Seminars and company events
Meetings take place in meeting suites that look toward Amalienborg and in quiet meeting rooms of different sizes, laid out for anything from a small board meeting to presentations and workshops. Several rooms have daylight and views over the harbor, and the interiors draw on the building's maritime past while carrying current audiovisual equipment. The in-house event team handles technical setup, catering and the running of the day.
Meeting packages come as half days, from morning to lunch or from lunch to late afternoon, as full days, and as a meeting followed by dinner in restaurant aye aye. For conferences with an overnight stay, the hotel offers special terms on group room blocks.
For company dinners the hotel has bright private rooms, several of them over the harbor, suited to dinners for a team, client evenings or a meeting followed by dinner. A party package groups dinner, drinks, room and service, with the option of extra courses, upgraded wines and a DJ. Receptions for anniversaries or company celebrations take up to 100 guests.
Accommodation
The hotel has 366 renovated bedrooms, from Compact Single and 20 m² Classic rooms to Classic Waterfront and Deluxe Waterfront rooms over the harbor, two-level Junior Duplex Suites of 33 m², Admiral City Suites of 50 to 57 m², Admiral Waterfront Suites on the sixth floor and the Tower Waterfront Suite with a 180 degree view of the harbor. Every room keeps the original timber beams. Guests can also use the Pool and Relax area, included with suites and sold separately with other rooms. Group bookings of more than five rooms go through the booking department.
Catering
All catering is prepared by the hotel kitchen, led by head chef Andreas Tancula Møller, whose cooking starts from French classics. A pastry chef supplies cakes and desserts for meeting breaks. Restaurant aye aye works as a social dining room with sharing menus served in several rounds. The wine program is run by wine director Christoffer Schwarz-Nielsen and a team of five sommeliers, who also lead guided wine tastings for groups.
History and setting
The building began as two grain drying warehouses built in 1787 for the trading house Pingel, Meyer, Prætorius and Co. They stored about 30,000 barrels of grain, and the old drying kiln can still be seen in today's lounge. The beams come from Pomeranian pine. The central section linking the two warehouses was added about a century later. After the fire of 1794 at Christiansborg, the royal family moved into Amalienborg next door. The warehouse saw the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801 and the British siege of 1807, when wounded men were housed in the kiln.
Empty in the 1960s and 1970s, the building opened as a hotel in January 1978. The conversion received recognition from Europa Nostra, and the warehouse is a protected building. A full renovation was completed in 2019.
Getting there
Public transport, including the harbor buses, stops close to the door, and public parking is a short walk away. Nyhavn and Amalienborg are a few minutes on foot.
