The is located just next to the Little Mermaid statue, on the Langelinie street (see half-circle pointed with the red arrow in the Google Maps print-screen below):

Stay minimum two nights and get another night for free at Marriott Hotels in India during the summer of 2014

This Marriott promotion in India is valid for bookings until 31 August 2014 and stays until 30 September 2014.

How it works: when you book three nights or more, the last night will be deducted from the invoice at check-out. If you stay only two nights, you will get a voucher to spend a free night at the same hotel until 30 September 2014.

Click on the link below to go to the offer page and see the participating properties (the Marriott promotional code will be automatically embedded):

Free night at Marriott properties in India until 30 September 2014

Once you have performed the search, this special rate is shown as "3 for 2 Offer". These are flexible rates, so you can cancel for free in case your plans change.

Remember, you will not have to pay the last night of your stay, so deduct that from the total for the stay, in order to find out the average price per night (for example: if the daily rate is 5 000 INR per night, at check-out you will only pay a total of 10 000 INR for three nights, thus resulting in an average of 3 333 per night).
