250 Years History

250 Years of History

For more than a quarter of a millennium, Hotel d’Angleterre has been located on the King’s Square, Kongens Nytorv, in the heart of Copenhagen. The hotel has been the site for legendary political and national events throughout Denmark’s history.

It was at Hotel d’Angleterre that the Danish politician and theologian, Ditlev Gothard Monrad, presented his draft of the new constitution to the lawmakers of the day on the 5th of June 1849. The hotel has served as headquarters for generals and officers as well as an asylum for war refugees on a number of occasions.

Hotel d’Angleterre has also withstood a massive fire, which not only was pivotal in changing the hotel’s architecture, but also was responsible for the loss of noteworthy information, such as the hotel’s guest books.

The information that is available today pays tribute to the distinguished and historic figures that have often enjoyed the hotel’s facilities and hospitality.

What has carried Hotel d’Angleterre’s identity throughout the 250 years from its beginning in 1755 is the founder’s, Jean Marchal, and his successors’ talent and sense for providing exceptional service, hospitality and comfort.

This tradition is the foundation on which Hotel d’Angleterre is built.
