The object
Radisson describes this house as Copenhagen’s tallest hotel, a 26-storey tower on Amager Boulevard with lake and city outlooks. It is a city machine: conference floors, a large room inventory, and a licensed casino on the same plot. We read it as a gateway stay for Norwegian travellers landing at Kastrup, not as a fjord resort.
For a reader flying from Bergen or Oslo, the practical question is whether the casino and the bed share one address. They do. You still book the room on Radisson’s engine and you still enter the casino under the operator’s door rules. The 3.5/5 figure quoted in the sheet is Radisson Hotels’ own published average (3,888 reviews when we checked in August 2026), not a Nordisk Inspirasjon score.
Location
Amager Boulevard 70 sits on the Christianshavn / Islands Brygge edge, about 400 metres from Islands Brygge metro according to the hotel’s own directions. Copenhagen Airport is listed at roughly 7 km. The official page maps Tivoli Gardens, Nyhavn, the Opera House, Strøget and Christianshavn within a short urban radius.
Rooms and accommodation
The hotel publishes 554 rooms. Categories on the official site include Standard, Superior panoramic, Premium lake view, Junior Suite, Suite, Family Room and connecting-room products. Standard rooms are listed at 22 m². We do not quote nightly rates.
Amenities and services
Radisson lists a fitness centre, 14 meeting rooms with capacity stated up to 1,500 guests in event configuration, parking with a height limit, Green Key certification and a smoke-free house. Accessibility is flagged as a featured service on the hotel page.
Restaurants and bars
Named venues on the Radisson page: The Lounge Bar & Restaurant in the lobby, Blue Elephant for Thai cooking, Filini for Italian and Mediterranean plates, plus the signature breakfast buffet. Top of Town on the 25th floor is described as an event dining room with a city view. Casino Copenhagen names Red 7 as a bar on the casino floor. Menus and hours change; confirm them on the hotel or casino site the week you travel. We do not freeze prices.
Entertainment
Entertainment on the hotel side is city-scale — Tivoli, the Opera House, harbour neighbourhoods — rather than an in-house cabaret we could source. The casino’s own site lists a changing programme (poker events, comedy nights, seasonal parties) and a Casino Ballroom above the floor, described as holding up to 300 guests. Read the live bill on casinocopenhagen.dk; we do not reprint a stale event calendar.
Nearby
Hotel distances: Christianshavn about 0.9 km, Tivoli about 1.4 km, Nyhavn about 1.6 km, the Opera House about 1.4 km. Always re-check walking times on a map the week you travel.
This is not a beach hotel and not a quiet forest. Expect urban noise, a conference mix in the lifts, and a separate casino entrance culture. If you want Øresund lawns, Helsingør is the other Zealand card in this dossier. If you want Jutland forest, Munkebjerg is the contrast.
Casino information
Casino Copenhagen is a licensed land casino at Amager Boulevard 70 — the same street address as the hotel. Spillemyndigheden includes this house on the national list of seven land casinos. The operator’s site publishes Sunday–Thursday 14:00–04:00 and Friday–Saturday 14:00–05:00. Live table hours are listed from 15:00. CVR 15751274 is printed on the casino site.
Casino history
The casino’s company page calls itself Denmark’s first international casino. It states that the Ministry of Justice issued a licence in October 1990 and that the house opened on 31 December 1990. The same page notes a ten-year licence renewal from 1 January 2019. The floor sits in a late-twentieth-century hotel tower, not a nineteenth-century spa.
Casino features
The operator markets the house as Denmark’s largest casino and describes slots, roulette, blackjack, poker and related table games, plus a bar (Red 7) and a changing events programme. We do not freeze a machine count or table map here because inventories move. For the live floor, use casinocopenhagen.dk.
Visiting rules
A hotel key is not a casino ticket. Guest information requires valid photo ID at every visit; the entry ticket is used for cashier transactions. Smart attire is expected: sportswear, caps, sunglasses and sleeveless T-shirts for men are not permitted; outerwear goes to the cloakroom. Religious headwear is allowed if the face is recognisable. From 1 May to 30 September shorts are permitted, but not sports shorts. Smoking is not allowed at tables or machines; designated smoking booths are described. Free Wi-Fi is noted, with the code on the ticket. Ticket and cloakroom prices sit on the guest-information page and can change — we do not reprint them as ours.
Age limit
Minimum age 18, in accordance with Danish gambling law, with photo ID at the door. Children may stay in hotel rooms under Radisson’s own family-room policy; they do not enter the casino.
Responsible gambling
Gambling must stay entertainment. Danish tools: ROFUS self-exclusion and StopSpillet. From Norway: Hjelpelinjen. Nordisk Inspirasjon does not sell bets and does not admit anyone to a floor.
