InterContinental Hotels Group has opened its first hotel in Denmark, the Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers. The 366-room property aims to be carbon neutral through a series of initiatives, including:
- The first groundwater-based cooling and heating system in Denmark, expected to reduce the energy used in the hotel for heating and cooling by almost 90 percent
- Low-energy lighting and hand dryers
- The largest solar panel park in Northern Europe to be integrated into a building, covering all the hotel’s sunny façades
Crowne Plaza Copenhagen also has EU Green Building and Green Key certification and is a member of the UN Global Compact. Hotel amenities include a Scandinavian restaurant and bar, as well as nearly 38,000 square feet of meeting space.
