The newly renovated Pier 5 Hotel on Aalborg’s waterfront offers 154 state-of-the-art rooms with the best views in the city. Here, modern design is offset by the view of the port, and draws the port’s history and heritage inside. Pier 5 Hotel is centrally located on Aalborg’s waterfront in the middle of a cultural oasis between Musikkens Hus and the Utzon Center and within a few minutes’ walk from Aalborg’s vibrant urban scene. In short, here you get it all: the buzzing city centre, the tranquillity of the harbour, modern facilities and Aalborg’s best location. Our 154 rooms range from Aalborg’s largest and most luxurious 70 sqm suites with panoramic views of the fjord to junior suites, superior rooms, studios, family rooms and standard rooms. There’s something for everyone here, whether you’re in town for business or pleasure. Pier 5 Hotel is your perfect base for exploring Aalborg and North Jutland, and we take great pride in providing personal and memorable service.
