The Velvet Hall
The Velvet Hall is adjacent to the impressive Great Hall. This is where the Royal Family greets guests arriving for gala banquets in the Great Hall.
Imagine having an adjutant announce your name just before you greet the Royal Couple in one of the most magnificent halls of the palace: the Velvet Hall.
300 metres of velvet
The walls are decorated by 300 metres of exquisite velvet. When the architect Thorvald Jørgensen created the Velvet Hall, he drew inspiration from nothing less than the Sun King's (Louis XIV) bedroom at Versailles.

The red velvet tapestries contain motifs of the Danish national coat of arms, with the three lions and the nine hearts. In 2015, the 100-year-old tapestries were replaced with new ones, the decorations were regilded, and the marble was polished.
