On February 1st, 2007, DGI-byen took over the lease of the Hotel Astoria. The hotel was then completely renovated and opened again on June 4th, 2007. The Danish design company GUBI, which has among other things supplied furniture to the Museum of Modern Art in New York and DANHOSTEL in Copenhagen, has furnished the designer furniture for all the of the hotel's rooms including the foyer. The style is understated luxury. Nearly all the furniture is specially designed for the hotel and the materials used are light and elegant. Colour-wise, everything is kept in black and white with deep purple and grey-blue tones as contrast colours. From the ceilings, there are large textile pendants which create a cosy feeling in the rooms and light, transparent curtains. The Hotel Astoria is one of Copenhagen's architectural pearls. The goal of the restoration has been to preserve the soul of the building and keep some of the things the original building was born with such as the entrance with its revolving doors which were the first revolving doors in Denmark. A historical room from 1935 when the hotel opened as the first luxury hotel in Copenhagen has also been preserved. As a guest at one of DGI-byen's hotels, you receive a number of benefits such as free entry to the Swim Center and entry to the Spa costs only DKK 100 (normal entry is DKK 245). Every morning the hotel serves a delicious Scandinavia breakfast buffet for the hotel's guests in our cosy, smoke-free breakfast restaurant. The breakfast buffet offers, among other things, organic dairy products, soft-boiled eggs as well as freshly baked organic bread.
