"Bed and breakfast Århus" or "Bed and breakfast Aarhus"?

Today, Denmark’s second-largest city is spelled Aarhus – but you may also have seen it written as Århus. This is because the city officially used the Å spelling until 2011. At that time, the municipality of Aarhus decided to return to the original spelling with Aa, which the city also used before 1948, when the letter Å became part of the Danish alphabet. You may therefore still come across both spellings.
