The new hotel, which plays a significant role in the cultural life of Copenhagen, will be added to the Minor Hotels portfolio on April 10th. The property is located next to the central station and Tivoli Gardens, on the main street of the Vesterbro district, which in recent years has become the trendiest area of Copenhagen. Built in 1892, this beautiful building has been recently renovated and features 162 rooms, a restaurant, two bars, a rooftop bar with excellent views of the entire city centre, event rooms, a gym, a yoga studio, and an interior courtyard with a glass terrace.

This hotel will be owned by CapMan, a leading private asset management company in the Nordic region with a real estate arm focused on a wide variety of projects such as hotels, offices, residences, logistics centres and retail stores. Currently, the company has 55 hotels in the Nordic countries, following the recent acquisition of Midstar Fastigheter AB.

Gonzalo Aguilar, CEO of Minor Hotels Europe & Americas, commented: "We are delighted that CapMan has trusted our NH brand for this project, and we are proud that our brand is coming to Copenhagen, a city where we already have a successful history thanks to NH Collection Copenhagen. Additionally, this allows us to continue growing in the Nordic countries, a strategic market for us, where we also have NH Collection Helsinki Grand Hansa. Together with CapMan, we look forward to taking our hotels to the next level and exploring future opportunities."

Thomas Laakso, Partner at CapMan Real Estate, Fund Director of CapMan Hotels II fund, commented: “We are happy to entrust the beautiful, newly renovated and centrally located Grand Joanne to Minor Hotels' capable hands through its brand NH Hotels & Resorts and we look forward to a continued great cooperation in Copenhagen and across the Nordics.”
