The Scandic Hotel Group have five properties in the Danish capital, giving organisers more than 1,000 bedrooms and 50 meetings rooms and combinations.

The largest is the centrally-located, modern, Hotel Scandic Copenhagen with 486 bedrooms and 18 conference areas for 8-250. Also central is the very traditional and historic Scandic Palace Hotel offering 169 bedrooms and three small rooms for 16/20/70. Both hotels were sampled by the author on a recent trip to Copenhagen.

Large conference areas are also available at the modern Scandic Sydhavnen Hotel, around 3 kilometres from the centre and with 281 bedrooms and 23 conference areas for 8-350. Back in the centre is the Scandic Front Hotel on lively Nyhavn with 132 bedrooms and 3 meetings rooms for 16-60, and the Scandic Webers Hotel overlooking a main shopping street with 152 bedrooms and three small meetings rooms for 6/12/30.

The Scandic Group clearly take fire safety for their guests seriously – we found a helpful leaflet in one of the rooms we stayed in which had clear instructions on what to do in case of a fire in the hotel, printed in 14 languages, including English. All hotels should do this.
