When Hotel Nimb at Tivoli opens its new 60 sqm bathing area next week, it will become the first hotel in Denmark to have a rooftop pool, reports BT.
The new 1,300 sqm roof terrace, which will seek to host future entertainment events and cater to a range of fitness requirements, will be officially opened on June 21.
Never before seen in Denmark
According to Tivoli press officer Torben Plank there will be a lot of surprises.
“It will set new standards that we have never seen before in Denmark,” he said. “We’re looking forward to showing it off.”

Now there’s a surprise.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I think you’re down with it,” added bassist William Cashion.
