Pier 5 Hotel

Welcome to the port of Aalborg

Ships have been coming to dock at Aalborg pier for hundreds of years now. This is where the ships come to leave behind the barren ocean winds and the crashing waves and where the crew can step onto dry land again. In the past, it never took long for the seafarers’ tales from distant shores to be retold on dry land.

And today, despite the fact that sails have been replaced with engines, wooden boxes have been replaced by storage containers and nautical charts are now GPSs, it is still the same water that splashes against the pier, and whenever a boat docks, it still sparks a thirst and curiosity for tales from the sea.

The air is heavy with a salty sea breeze when you arrive at Pier 5 Hotel. Despite the dim lighting, it is clear that the hotel is a kind of extension of the port out there. A container-inspired wall and the exposed ceiling installations deliver on the hotel’s name and promise – you have arrived at the Port of Aalborg, with all that this entails. Here and there you come across small surprising treasures and details that make it difficult to pinpoint exactly what era you are in.

In the hotel’s warm lounge, you can explore different zones from different eras. Let yourself sink into a soft armchair and enjoy the soft music playing on the turntable, sample drinks from VAERFT Cocktail Bar’s innovative cocktail menu with its exciting interpretations of cocktails from around the world, or enjoy the tranquillity in front of the fireplace with a view of the fjord.

At Pier 5, in a unique pocket of the Port of Aalborg, travelers’ stories, treasures and secrets are gathered in one place. Here, old stories meet new experiences. Just as it should be in a port.

LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATION ON AALBORG'S WATERFRONT

The newly renovated Pier 5 Hotel on Aalborg waterfront offers 154 state-of-the-art rooms with the city’s best view. Here, modern design is combined with the harbor outside, and you will experience that the history and heritage of the harbor are seamlessly integrated indoors. 

Here, at Rendsburggade 5, coal was unloaded on the harbor pier by the company N.K. Strøyberg & Co. Kul-Koks until the 1960s. Hence the name Pier 5 Hotel. 

Today, industry has been replaced by culture, and Pier 5 Hotel is centrally located on Aalborg’s waterfront between Musikkens Hus and Utzon Center, with just a few minutes’ walk to Aalborg’s vibrant city life. In short, you get it all here: the pulse of the city, the tranquility of the harbor, modern amenities, and Aalborg’s best location. 

Our 154 rooms range from Aalborg’s largest and most luxurious suites at 70 square meters with panoramic views of the fjord, to junior suites, superior rooms, studios, family rooms, and standard rooms. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re in town for business or leisure.
