“Hotel Århus” or “Hotel Aarhus?”

Today, Denmark’s second-largest city is spelled Aarhus – but you may also have seen it written as Århus. This is because, until 2011, the city officially used the spelling with Å. Back then, Aarhus Municipality decided to return to the original spelling with Aa, which the city had also used before 1948, when the letter Å became part of the Danish alphabet.

You may therefore still come across both versions – on signs, maps, and in older references. Regardless of the spelling, the meaning is the same: a vibrant and cultural city full of experiences.
