The owners behind ”Go Hotels” are prepared to invest up to DKK100 million in a new hotel project, beautifully positioned and close to the coast and nature area west of Rødbyhavn and behind the lagoon which is currently being established as part of the Femern project.
The new initiative, “Hage’s Beach Hotel”, will commence as soon as the construction permit is received and the first 30 rooms are expected to be ready by March 2022.
When completed, the hotel will comprise a main building of 600m2 housing the reception, lounge, restaurant and bar as well as 144 rooms spread across 72 accommodation units, each with a sleeping capacity of up to 4 persons.
With a view to the future
Sustainability, quality and consideration for the surrounding nature are key words for the future hotel construction.
“The Femern project stakeholders are requesting good accommodation facilities, with a full-service hotel concept during the next 5-7 years. This has made it relevant to construct the hotel and thereby offer facilities for the project’s many temporarily resident white-collar workers. However, we also view the hotel as an important asset for the local community after the Fehmarn Link is completed. We expect that there will be increase in activity in this location in the future and the hotel will be a capacity both for the predicted increased flow in tourism and as a facility in general for the local area,” says Michael Halborg-Bendtsen, Director at Go Hotels.
Go Hotels currently own four hotels in Copenhagen with 523 rooms in total.
Built on stilts
The accommodation units of Hage’s Beach Hotel will be built on stilts, raised about the ground. The buildings will be connected by raised walkways. In choosing this solution, the surrounding area will not have to be drained and existing nature will remain untouched. All buildings will be constructed with sustainable materials and facades will be covered with natural wood in order to fade in with the surroundings.
The architects, Miami Ark, Copenhagen, are consultants on the hotel construction and have chosen to establish an office on the quayside in Rødbyhavn in connection with the project.
The story behind the name
The future Beach Hotel has taken its name after Alfred Anton Hage, who received the concession in 1850 to establish the dike around Rødby Fjord, thereby minimalizing the risk of flooding.
