Accommodation
There are 66 bedrooms: single rooms opening onto closed courtyards, double and superior twin rooms with balconies, step-free double rooms and a suite with a living room, bedroom and courtyard. Breakfast is included, all beds are at least 120 cm wide and extra beds can be added. Guests can use fitness rooms and a steam bath, and lounges show sports channels.
Catering
Meals come from the in-house restaurant, which was recently renovated. The kitchen grows vegetables and herbs in its own courtyard and works with seasonal produce and a focus on healthy food. Food can be delivered directly to an event. Meeting packages bundle catering with the room.
History and setting
The house also hosts the Sports Hall of Fame, with busts of its members displayed in the building. Many of Denmark's elite athletes take lunch here daily, so a group often shares the building with them.

The site is close to the motorway and central in the Zealand road network. More than 2,500 free parking spaces are available, and Copenhagen Airport is 22 km away.
