Michelin Selected
Michelin
its rooms are spacious and modern with good facilities, a balcony and a vista of either the city or the sea.

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Dokk1 sits just across the square, and the restaurants lining the Aarhus canal are a short walk away.

Every room opens onto a private balcony facing the water or the city. Suites add soaking tubs and staff-knitted slippers.

The morning buffet is arranged on rounded wooden islands, with tables set against panoramic windows overlooking the city.
At the table
The 24-hour lobby bar pours draft beers, wine, and spirits beneath a glowing neon sign.
How it began
The 37-meter tower debuted in 1966 with a sold-out gala, bringing an English pub and a top-floor sky restaurant to the waterfront.
