Located in the heart of city the Hotel Skt. Petri by Erik Møller Arkitekter takes its name from the neighboring church, Skt. Petri, the oldest preserved church in Copenhagen.

Originally designed as Daells Varehus department store (1933-35), by architect Wilhelm Lauritzen, the building has undergone an extensive renovation by Erik Møllers Arkitekter, that projects a clean, modern Scandinavian feeling To downscale the size of the building, and relate to the historic neighborhood, the Erik Møller architects have used different color tones on the facades.

The interior design, by Millimeter Architects, is stylish, light and airy. The color scheme, by Danish artist Per Arnoldi, is based on the tricolor; red, white and blue.
Escalators and wide stairs lead visitors from the entrance on the ground floor to the three-story 1,500 square meter mezzanine lobby and the reception desk. A floor to ceiling glass wall floods the room with natural light and offers a picturesque view of the courtyard surrounded by historic townhouses.

Changing art and design exhibitions add to the cosmopolitan feeling in the lobby.

The Brasserie Bleue, located at one end of the lobby, combine Scandinavian simplicity with an international atmosphere. Artist Per Arnoldi's signature blue palette is reflected in the blue glasses set off against the pure white of the table linen.

Weather permitting, the courtyard provides the perfect setting for outdoor lunch or dinner. A "sandy beach" will be a new addition to the courtyard this summer.

The Bar Rouge, off the lobby, features live DJ entertainment and excellent cocktails. Portraits of famous jazz musicians, by Danish photographer Jan Persson, create the perfect backdrop to the ever changing ambience of cool lounge music.

The combination of Copenhagen's "in" crowd and the hotel's international guests has made Bar Rouge Copenhagen's new meeting place.
