At Nimb the focus is on detail, and the guest is always at the center of attention. Nimb style also features both the magic of Tivoli and a warm Nordic atmosphere. Nimb was originally built in 1909 as an Arab fantasy castle by Tivoli head architect and director Knud Arne-Petersen. Since then, the establishment has undergone many transformations, and in 2007 Nimb underwent a total renovation - not only externally, where the façade's arabesques of low-grade material were replaced with Italian marble stucco, but also internally, where the new solid Dinnesen wooden floors and interior elements of Oland granite helped give Nimb a modern, Nordic air with warm colours and natural materials.
