Hotel Bristol, Historic hotel building at City Hall Square, Copenhagen, Denmark
The three-wing building features red brick construction with granite details on the ground floor and a 50-meter tower topped with a copper roof.
Constructed between 1901 and 1902 based on architect Vilhelm Fischer's competition-winning design, the hotel closed in 1917 following a destructive fire.
The building transformed from Hotel Bristol to Absalons Gaard, housing an insurance company headquarters and later the newspaper Aktuelt's offices.
The structure stands at the intersection of Frederiksberggade and Vestergade, providing direct access to Copenhagen's central shopping and business district.
The building gained historical attention when it disproved accusations against Leon Trotsky, as he could not have met conspirators in 1936 at a hotel that closed in 1917.
