History[]

The company was founded in 1960 when Alf Arp-Hansen acquired the Gjentofte Kro (Inn) (later renamed Gentofte Hotel). In 1971, Arp-Hansen opened the first warehouse hotel in Copenhagen, the 71 Nyhavn Hotel. The Hotel Opera opened shortly after, and the hotels Christian IV and Grand Hotel opened in 1986. In 1991, Arp-Hansen acquired the historic Hotel Phoenix Copenhagen.[2]

In 1998, Alf Arp-Hansen passed away and his two sons, Henning and Birger, took over. In 2000, the group opened the Strand Hotel.[2] In 2003, Dorte Krak became the CEO of the company.[3] The same year, the group inaugurated The Square hotel, and acquired the Imperial Hotel the following year.[2]

In 2006, Arp-Hansen launched the construction of the Copenhagen Island hotel designed by architect Kim Utzon, who also designed the Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center inaugurated in 2010. In 2009, the group introduced its "Wakeup" concept, a more affordable offer that has been rolled out to 4 of its hotels as of 2019.[2]

In 2013, the Arp-Hansen group partnered with Tivoli to build a 12-floor, 288-room hotel next to the Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center. The two groups have been in a mutual partnership since 2008.[4] In 2015, the group offloaded the Hotel Opera from its assets, followed by the Grand Hotel in 2017.[2]

In October 2018 Arp-Hansen Hotel Group opened a brand new Wakeup hotel at a very central location. The new hotel has 585 rooms located on the corner of Bernstorffsgade and Kalvebod Brygge. In 2018, the sales of the Arp-Hansen Group reached DKK 1.3 billion, making it the largest hotel chain of Denmark.[1]
