811 rooms, five restaurants, 30 meeting rooms, wellness and fitness center, and in-house market inside two leaning towers make AC Hotel Bella Sky Copenhagen a convenient sphere all on its own. 

Quite instantly after stepping out of Copenhagen Airport, it’s undeniably difficult to miss two stellar leaning towers, or rather, architectural marvels that welcome travelers entering the city renowned for design and gastronomy.

AC Hotel Bella Sky Copenhagen is not only Scandinavia’s largest design hotel, it’s also where both business and family travelers can explore a cozy microcosm offering abundant amenities.

“Copenhagen has always been about big city life, but staying close to nature. There’s the waterfront, beaches up north. And here, we have a reserved green area protected by the government, while being so close to the convention center, as well as downtown. Our guests can run for 15 kilometers around this neighborhood, or go for walks to experience both the city and nature,” Jesper Olesen, General Manager of AC Hotel Bella Sky Copenhagen, explained.

THE ARCHITECTURE

The most striking framework of the hotel is the remarkable architecture, designed by 3XN Architects – a Danish practice headquartered in Copenhagen. Two astounding towers at 76.5 meters in height, combined with an inclination of 15° tilting towards opposite sides. Due to the hotel’s close distance to Copenhagen Airport, a restriction on the buildings’ height was put in place.

“The original idea was not only to create a hotel, but a landmark. Both towers are leaning in opposite angles, which provides us various types of rooms to offer our guests,” Jesper Olesen, General Manager of AC Hotel Bella Sky Copenhagen, explained.

THE LOCATION

The property was originally conceived to accommodate business travelers arriving at Bella Convention and Congress Center – Scandinavia’s second largest convention center, located in the Ørestad district of Denmark’s capital city.

AC Hotel Bella Sky Copenhagen is merely a 10-minute taxi ride from the airport, as well as less than ten minutes from city center. It’s especially convenient since a metro station is uniquely dedicated to the hotel and the conference center, allowing easy access for travelers yearning to explore downtown.

THE DESIGN

The entrance of the hotel leads to a spacious welcome area with a glamorous staircase that guides guests to the second floor where multiple restaurants, lounge areas and the bridge walkway between two leaning towers reside.

Contemporary light fixtures and sleek lines amplify Danish design elements that highlight both minimalism and functionality. Sprawling walls of plants and greenery instantly invite guests to a space of natural woods and sustainability that are true to the aesthetics of Denmark.
