Hotels Close to City Hall Square
Copenhagen City Hall is situated on The City Hall Square (Danish: Rådhuspladsen) in central Copenhagen. The appearance of the city hall is dominated by its impressive front, the golden statue of Absalon just above the balcony and the tall, slim tower with a clock. The city hall tower is at 105.6 metres one of the tallest buildings in Copenhagen.
In addition to the tower clock, the City Hall houses Jens Olsen's World Clock.
The former city hall of 1815
The current city hall was designed by architect Martin Nyrop and the design for the building was inspired by the city hall of Siena, Italy. Construction began in 1892 and the hall was opened on September 12, 1905.[1]
Before the city hall moved to its present location, it was situated at Gammeltorv/Nytorv. The first city hall was in use from about 1479 until it burned down in the great Copenhagen fire of 1728.
The second city hall was built in 1728 and was designed by J.C. Ernst and J.C. Krieger. It burned down in the Copenhagen fire of 1795.
It was not until 1815 that a new city hall erected on Nytorv. It was intended to house both the city hall and a court. Today it is still in use as the city court of Copenhagen.

The Danish Design Centre (DDC) is an independent institution.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Denmark is Patron of the Danish Design Centre.
The DDC's strategic focus areas are:
To build awareness of design and the economic effects of design among businesses
To brand Danish design on a national and international level
In January 2000 the DDC moved to its current address, a purpose-built domicile on HC Andersens Boulevard in the heart of Copenhagen, designed by Professor Henning Larsen. In addition to offices, the building houses exhibition rooms, a shop, a café and a conference centre; these income-generating facilities are the venue for the DDC's many activities.
The DDC is developing and carrying out a number of activities to promote the use of design in Danish companies. The primary task is to engage in business promotion activities to highlight the economic potential of using design. In close cooperation with local forces, including the regional growth centres, the DDC seeks to promote knowledge of the use of design in the five regions of Denmark.

Christiansborg Palace, on the islet of Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, is the seat of the Folketing (the Danish parliament), the Danish Prime Minister's Office and the Danish Supreme Court. Also, several parts of the palace are used by the monarchy, including the Royal Reception Rooms, the palace chapel and the royal stables.
The palace is thus the house of Denmark's three supreme powers: the executive power, the legislative power, and the judicial power. It is the only building in the world which is the home of all a nation's three supreme powers. Christiansborg Palace is owned by the Danish state, and is run by the Palaces and Properties Agency.
The present building is the last in a series of succesive castles and palaces constructed in the same site since the erection of the first castle in 1167. Since the early fifteenth century, the various buildings have served as the base of the central administration; until 1794 as the principal residence of the Danish kings and after 1849 as the seat of parliament.
The palace today bears witness to three eras of Danish architecture, as the result of two serious fires. The first fire occurred in 1794 and the second in 1884. The main part of the current palace, finished in 1928, is in the historicist Neo-baroque style. The chapel dates to 1826 and is in a neoclassical style. The showgrounds were built 1738-46, in a baroque style.

Børsen (English: The Stock Exchange) is a building on Slotsholmen in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It is built by Christian IV in 1619–1640 and is the oldest stock exchange in Europe. It is particularly known for its Dragon Spire shaped as the tails of four dragons twined together, reaching a height of 56 metres.
Christian IV had ambitions to turn Copenhagen into a metropol and to strengthen the city's position as a commercial centre, he wanted a stock exchange along with the new merchant town Christianshavn he was constructing on the other side of the harbour. He asked Lorentz and Hans van Steenwinckel to design a building in Dutch renaissance with 40 small stalls at the ground floor and one big room at the upper floor.
The building was restored by Nicolai Eigtved in 1745 and internally renovated in 1855. It housed the Danish stock-market until 1974. In 1918, unemployed anarchists attacked Børsen, an attack that went to the Danish history books as "stormen på Børsen" (the storm at the stock exchange).
