Ascot Hotel i København udvider efter finanskrisen

Ascot Hotel i København har vendt finanskrise til fremgang, og udvider som et af de første historiske hoteller i København med nye værelser. Det er et af de første lyspunkter for hotelbranchen i København efter finanskrisen, og det værste er nu overstået og troen på fremtiden er genfundet.

Finanskrisen ramte hotelbranchen hårdt, og Ascot Hotel midt i København var ingen undtagelse. I de magre år var det de trofaste kunder, der bragte hotellet igennem krisen. Idag tør hotellet kigge lyst på fremtiden, og udvider med 15 nye værelser.

I følge Ascot Hotels direktør David Olsen har hotellet draget fordel af hotellets centrale placering midt i hjertet af København tæt på Rådhuspladsen:

"Der er ingen tvivl om, at vores placering midt i Københavns centrum har fastholdt vores kunder gennem finanskrisen, og vi hurtigt mærker de første tegn på lysere tider med flere gæster."

Ascot Hotel udvider antallet af værelser med ca. 10%, og efter år med nedgang er en udvidelse 15 værelser fra 175 til 190 værelser udtryk for en stærk positiv tro på fremtiden.

"Vi kan mærke at ikke kun forretningsrejsende er i fremgang, men også at vores private gæster vender tilbage. Vi ligger jo op ad Tivoli og Wallmans, og almindelige familier, som vil have en oplevelsesweekend, vender tilbage." fortsætter David Olsen, Hotel director

Hotelbranchen har ellers været hårdt ramt af finanskrisen. Senest i 2009 havde hotelbranchen fortsat et stort samlet underskud på 312 mio DKK, og mærker en to-cifret nedgang i omsætningen pr. hotelværelse. I 2011 vurderer Dansk Brancheanalyse i deres rapport fra 2010, at 73 hotelselskaber ud til at være konkurstruet ud af 267, hvilket er minimum hver fjerde hotelselskab.

Hotelbranchen er derfor fortsat hårdt ramt af finanskrisen, men har nogle få lyspunkter. Ascot Hotel i centrum af København nyder godt af det spæde opsving af København, hvor stigninger i bl.a. huspriserne er småt stigende igen.

Ascot Hotel nyder godt af Københavns fremgang, og forventer flere hotelgæster i de kommende år. Ligeledes betyder den stærke svenske krone, at flere svenskere nyder deres ferie i København, og gerne vil bo centralt og tæt på Tivoli.

Før finanskrisen ombyggede Ascot Hotel også, og blev godkendt som et moderne 4 stjernet hotel med konferencefaciliteter, fitness, solarium og 3 kvalitetsrestauranter. Nu efter finanskrisen fortsætter Ascot Hotel forbedringerne og vil styrke sin position som 4 stjernet kvalitetshotel midt i Københavns centrum.

Historisk er Ascot Hotel den gamle badeanstalt København, og holder fast i traditionerne med wellness og fitness ophold til travle forretningsfolk og forældre, som trænger til afslapning og luksus.

Efter finanskrisens hårde år er der de første tegn på normalisering for hotelbranchen. Ascot Hotel er med sin beliggenhed midt i København et af de få lyspunkter, og tør igen investere i øget omsætning.

Ascot Hotel In Copenhagen Expands Following The Financial Crisis

Ascot Hotel in Copenhagen has turned the financial crisis into progress and has expanded with new apartments. The expansion is a sign of a positive turnaround in the shadows of the financial crisis. The worst consequences of the crisis have passed and the belief in a positive future has returned.

The financial crisis hit the Danish hotel industry hard, and Ascot Hotel in central Copenhagen was no exception. During the difficult years Ascot Hotel survived thanks to its loyal guests, who choose its central location when travelling for business. The present day Ascot Hotel is now expanding with new rooms and is confident about the future.

According to Managing Director David Olsen, the hotel has benefited from its location in the heart of Copenhagen, close to the Town Hall:

“There is no doubt in my mind that our location in the centre of Copenhagen has helped us to retain our guests throughout the financial crisis, and we are now experiencing the first signs of a brighter future with increased guest numbers.”

Ascot Hotel is increasing its accommodation by approximately 10% with 15 new rooms, taking the total number of rooms from 175 to 190. This is an expression of a strong belief in the economic upturn.

David Olsen, Managing Director, continues: “We notice that not only are business travellers more prosperous than they were during the crisis, but that our private guests are also returning. The hotel is situated next to Tivoli and Wallmans and families, who want a weekend experience visit us again and again.”

In 2009 the Danish hotel industry collectively suffered from a deficit of 312 million DKK and is currently experiencing a two-digit revenue decline per hotel room. In their 2010 report, The Danish Industry Analysis estimates that 73 out of 267 hotel companies may become insolvent during 2011, which equates to one out of every four hotel companies.

This demonstrates how the financial crisis continues to take a toll on the hotel industry, but there are some rays of light. The Ascot Hotel in the middle of Copenhagen is enjoying the fledgling recovery in Copenhagen, where house prices are also on their way up again.

As Ascot Hotel enjoys the resurgence of prosperity in Copenhagen, they expect more guests in the coming years. Additionally, the strong Swedish economy has resulted in more Swedes enjoying holidays in Copenhagen, and they prefer to stay in downtown Copenhagen, close to Tivoli.

Before the financial crisis hit, Ascot Hotel rebuilt and was approved as a four star hotel with conference facilities, fitness rooms, sun beds, and three quality restaurants. Post-financial crisis, Ascot Hotel continues its improvements with the goal of strengthening its position as a modern four star quality hotel in central Copenhagen.

Ascot Hotel was originally the old public baths in Copenhagen, and they keep this history alive by offering wellness and fitness stays for business travellers, as well as parents and holidaymakers who need luxury and relaxation.

After the tough years of the financial crisis, the first signs of recovery in the hotel industry are visible. With its prime location in the middle of Copenhagen, Ascot Hotel is one of the shining stars, which is now daring to invest in increased revenue.
