Daells Varehus was a department store - well known by most of the Danes, especially for its huge mail order catalogues. Now a fivestars hotel has opened on the spot.

The functionalistic building was built by Vilhelm Lauritzen in 1928. Now the house has had a complete restoration. Most characteristic is the red colour of the facade - a colour which is also used inside the building.

The famous Danish artist Per Arnoldi has, besides being the colour consultant, contributed with both ceramics and lithographs for the decoration. And he was also the one to find the name of the hotel - strongly inspired by the church Skt. Petri close to the hotel.

Informationsteknik has installed all the AV-equipment at the hotel. The Grand Ball room consists of two individual rooms with a capacity when joined of 250-300 persons. Each room can hold about 100-150 guests.
The basis of the advanced audio visual solution was a very flexible solution focusing of user friendliness. The rooms should function individually as well as together - and the change should be as easy as possible - without any reduction in the audiences' abilities to both see and listen very clearly. That is the reason why the two rooms technically are two independent units with a common technique room - and each with an audio visual rack which can be connected to several spots in the conference room.

To honour the high demands of the hotel we have partly used the best and most advanced products in the market partly developed customised products not yet found in the market. The rostrum is our own production including e.g. light, microphone and a built-in touchpanel for controlling all electronic facilities. A separate control panel is installed in case the rostrum is not in use. If the rooms are used as one big room, the hotel can either choose to use the two projectors together - or they can move the one projector along a rail at the ceiling. Then they can project a large image on to a transportable screen - put up for the occasion.
