Horisont Hotel & Konference

What Horisont Hotel & Konference does

Horisont Hotel & Konference is a Danish full-service conference hotel located at Agro Food Park 10, Aarhus N, operating 18 meeting rooms (capacity up to 300 attendees), 65 guest rooms (100 beds), an on-site a la carte restaurant (Restaurant Høst), a lakeside event cabin (Hytten ved søen), and 700 parking spaces with 8 EV charging stations. The property sits in the Egådalen valley approximately 6.8 km from Aarhus city centre, with natural surroundings that the company positions as a differentiator for off-site corporate events. The facility is owned by Landbrug & Fødevarer F.m.b.A., the Danish agriculture and food industry organization, and operates as a commercial unit alongside a sister property, Kolle Kolle, in Værløse near Copenhagen. Founded in 2004 and rebranded from Koldkærgård to Horisont in 2018, the business has roughly 21 employees.

The revenue model is transactional and per-attendee: structured meeting packages range from a DKK 760 day-meeting bundle to a DKK 2,810 multi-day conference package, with separate a la carte overnight rates (DKK 1,065 single / DKK 1,365 double) and private event packages for 30–300 guests. Add-on revenue streams include AV equipment, breakout rooms, group rooms, wine/beverages, and outsourced activities such as teambuilding, football golf, and gin tasting. Distribution is direct-to-customer through 24/7 online booking (crowdbook.com for meetings, bookyourstay.eu for rooms), phone/email sales, and walk-in site visits, supplemented by memberships in HORESTA and Danske Konferencecentre (DKBS) for referral traffic.

The technology layer is conventional hospitality infrastructure rather than proprietary IP: AeroGuest mobile check-in and digital room keys (enabling 22:00–07:00 self-service arrival), Vianimo reusable digital name signs, professional AV including laser projectors and Teams-compatible video conferencing, free WiFi, and Nets payment processing. Sustainability credentials (Green Key, ReFood) and a Danish Smiley food-safety rating are displayed prominently on the website and serve as procurement signals for ESG-conscious corporate buyers. The customer base spans corporate/business clients (primary), private individuals booking celebrations, and educational/training institutions running courses, with no disclosed enterprise anchor accounts.
