Hotel Imperial

Hotel Imperial is a large three-star hotel at Vester Farimagsgade 9 in the Vesterbro area of Copenhagen, Denmark, positioned between Copenhagen Central Station and the old city lakes. The location is very practical for travellers: the station, with its metro, S-train, regional and airport rail services, is a short walk away, and Tivoli Gardens, Rådhuspladsen and the Strøget pedestrian street are also close by. The lakeside paths of the old Sankt Jørgens and Peblinge lakes are only a few minutes on foot, and the lively cafes, restaurants and bars of Vesterbro and the Meatpacking District are nearby. The hotel is a sizeable, functional property with a traditional feel, designed for volume and value rather than boutique character. Rooms are offered as Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms and Family Rooms, with the larger category accommodating up to four people, which makes the hotel useful for families and small groups. Indicative double-room rates run from about DKK 1,000 to 2,200 per night depending on season. Amenities include a restaurant, a bar, a fitness centre, wifi, a concierge and a lift. The restaurant serves breakfast and meals, and the bar provides a place for an evening drink, while the surrounding streets offer a broad choice of further dining at all price levels. There is no pool or spa, but the fitness centre gives guests a place to exercise during longer stays. Service is professional and business-like, with a concierge able to assist with directions, tickets and transport, and the hotel is popular with tour groups, business travellers and families who want a central base near the station. Guests arriving late or leaving early benefit from the short distance to the rail services, and light sleepers may prefer a higher floor or a room away from the main road. Booking ahead is advisable for summer weekends, school holidays and major events in the capital, when family-sized rooms near the station fill quickly.
