Phoenix Copenhagen is a member of HORESTA, the Hotel-, Restaurant-,
and Tourist trade organisation in Denmark, which has classified Phoenix
Copenhagen as a 4-Star hotel. To achieve this recognition the following
criteria's must be achieved.
HistoryThe history of the PHOENIX COPENHAGEN dates back to the 17th
century and throughout the ages the hotel has been a favourite of the landed
gentry and used as accommodation for prominent guests of the Royal family. After
thorough renovation and modernization the PHOENIX COPENHAGEN, like its
mythological namesake, rose again in all its glory in 1991.A high level of
service and a meticulous eye for detail will ensure you a comfortable and
memorable stay in Copenhagen. Please ask for a separate leaflet covering the
PHOENIX COPENHAGEN’s many excellent meeting and conference facilities.
The Phoenix Copenhagen welcomes you with ambience and the sense of tradition
that are uniquely Danish. An exclusive location in the centre of the financial
district and only a few minutes' walk from The Royal Palace, Nyhavn and The
Royal Theatre.
Von Plessen was the name of the first owner of the historical building now
housing the Phoenix Copenhagen. The Von Plessen family has also owned several
Danish manors and castles. A meal in Restaurant Von Plessen is a delightful
culinary experience. The recipes all consist of the best meat, fowl or fish the
market offers. Fresh vegetables and salads and seducing desserts. The food is
accompanied by the well-known traditional Danish beer or lovely wines from the
well-assorted and wide-ranging wine menu. You will find the restaurant in the
hotel's basement; in large and beautiful rooms that reveal the age of the
historical building, despite the sweeping renovation. The decor, tables and
chairs are still closely connected with the manor style. This is where you will
enjoy lovely meals in fabulous surroundings! Large tables, seating up to 25
persons, is also a possibility in Restaurant Von Plessen. The total seating
capacity is 150.
The name dates back to the Scotchman, William Murdoch, who established the
first restaurant in the building more than 150 years ago. And the pub has, in
truth, found its inspiration in the style of the English and Scottish pubs, but
the British inspiration has been combined with truly Danish notions like
cosiness and a somewhat lighter interior decoration. Besides the splendid beer,
the fine whisky and other excellent beverages, Murdoch's Books & Ale also
serves a wonderful lunch and a large number of light meals and sandwiches all
day Murdoch's is the perfect setting for a quiet lunch or for a fun night out on
the town. Here and there you will find copies of books in the pub, but it is
very unlikely that you will find the time to read any of them! See you at
Murdoch's! Opening hours are 12:00 to 01:00 Sundays 12:00 to 22.30 (the kitchen
closes at 21.30)
