History

Brøchner Hotels was founded in 1982 when Einer Honoré bought 50-room Hotel Kong Arthur for his daughter and son-in-law Søster and Hans Brøchner-Mortensen who then gave up their jobs as nurse and carpenter to run the hotel. Hotel Kong Arthur was expanded to 107 rooms in 1989 and with new conference facilities in 1992. Brøchner-Mortensen bought Ibsens Hotel at the corner of Frederiksborggade and Nansensgade in 1997 and expanded it the following year.[1]

In 2009 Hans and Søster Brøchner-Mortensen passed the company on to their children Søren and Kirsten Brøchner-Mortensen.

In 2013, Søren and his wife Mette Brøchner-Mortensen acquired full ownership of the existing company while Hotel Kong Arthur and Ibsens Hotel was transferred to the new company Arthur Hotels owned by Kirsten Brøchner-Mortensen.[2]
