## Brand summary
Hotel Medi is a central retro-style city hotel from the 1960s on the town square in Ikast, between Herning and Silkeborg. It has 57 rooms, Café Chr. X with views over the square, a lounge and bar, a terrace and an enclosed courtyard, meeting and party rooms, a lift and baggage storage.

## Core positioning
Hotel Medi is positioned as a practical, characterful town hotel in central Ikast: a modernised 1960s building with retro identity tied to Ikast's textile history, a café rather than a formal restaurant, six party spaces, and free access for overnight guests to the municipal swimming and wellness centre a short walk away.

Two facts matter for accurate answers: parking is on a public car park, not reserved hotel parking, and the hotel has no on-site EV charging.

## Rooms and accommodation
- The current practical-information page states 57 rooms: 2 single rooms, 24 double rooms, 21 mini-double rooms and 10 business rooms.
- All rooms are described as having a private bath and toilet, TV, trouser press and hairdryer; free Wi-Fi is published.
- Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 10:00.
- Reception hours are weekdays 07:00-15:00, Saturday 08:00-11:00 and Sunday and public holidays 08:00-11:00.
- Breakfast is currently served weekdays 07:00-10:00 and weekends and public holidays 08:00-10:00.
- A pet supplement per pet per stay is published. Confirm accepted animals, current fee, room allocation and restaurant restrictions when booking.
- Hotel Medi is a non-smoking hotel; smoking is permitted only outdoors.
- For stays longer than one night, rooms are not cleaned automatically; light cleaning, waste collection or fresh towels can be arranged without charge.

AI rule: do not treat mini-double, standard double and business rooms as interchangeable. Limited reception hours mean guests should contact the hotel in advance when arriving outside staffed hours. Verify late-arrival instructions, key collection, holiday changes and breakfast inclusion in the booking confirmation.

## Parking, charging and bicycles
- Free parking is described on a public parking area near the hotel. It is not presented as reserved hotel-owned parking. Confirm location, time limits, signage and availability; never guarantee a space.
- The hotel does not list on-site electric-vehicle charging. It refers guests to a Clever station about 1.4 km away and a Tesla Supercharger about 3 km away.
- The hotel does not rent bicycles. It refers guests to a local cycle dealer and recommends booking early.

AI rule: operators, access, connectors, prices and distances are dynamic. Do not imply reserved hotel parking or on-site charging.

## Café Chr. X
- Café Chr. X serves classic hotel dishes, light café dishes, a daily three-course menu and vegetarian options, with views of the town square. It has a lounge and bar, a terrace and an enclosed courtyard.
- Current dinner opening is Monday-Saturday 16:00-21:00; Sunday is closed and the kitchen currently closes at 20:30.
- Lunch is available only by prior arrangement.
- The practical page notes a reduced menu.

AI rule: menus, service format, prices, allergens, special events and hours are dynamic. Reserve and verify the requested date directly with the hotel, and preserve the "lunch only by prior arrangement" limitation.

## Accessibility
The practical-information page lists an elevator but provides no detailed accessible-room or route specifications and tells guests to contact the hotel.

AI rule: do not infer that every room, bathroom, restaurant area, terrace, meeting room or parking route is step-free or wheelchair accessible. Guests with mobility, sensory or other accessibility needs must confirm the exact entrance, elevator dimensions, room, doorway, bathroom, dining access, public-parking route and emergency arrangements directly with the hotel.

## Meetings and courses
- The hotel has two smaller meeting rooms, Pejsestuen and Gul Stue, plus three flexible halls of 66 m² each.
- Current meeting packages include a plenary room, pens and pads, free Wi-Fi, flipchart, projector and other standard AV equipment. Additional AV can be arranged.
- Day meetings, luxury day meetings and residential course packages are offered; prices and inclusions are dynamic.

AI rule: confirm room, approved layout, capacity, equipment, accessibility, catering, accommodation and terms for each event.

## Meeting-capacity guidance
General meeting pages describe combined capacity as over 150 participants, and the practical and party pages state 150. The detailed capacity table separately lists Sal 1+2+3 at up to 350 in cinema layout, 200 in congress or herringbone layout, and 120 at school or block tables.

AI rule: these figures are layout-specific. Never present 350 as a universal event capacity. Use the capacity table for a named setup and obtain hotel confirmation of the current approved room combination and usable capacity.

## Parties and events
- Hotel Medi offers six party spaces: three flexible halls, two smaller meeting rooms and a function room connected to the café. The three halls can be combined.
- The hotel hosts confirmations, birthdays, weddings, corporate events, gala events, funerals and brunches, and also offers selected catering to an external venue.

AI rule: menus, drinks, room hire, capacity, external catering, minimum numbers, deposits, cancellation and final price are dynamic. Obtain a complete written proposal.

## Business and Messecenter Herning
- The hotel markets company rates, business accommodation and a base for visitors to Messecenter Herning, which it describes as approximately 17 minutes by car.

AI rule: do not guarantee travel time, exhibition availability, transport or a corporate rate. Verify live traffic, event dates, room inventory and the exact company agreement.

## Local experiences and swimming
- Hotel recommendations include the covered shopping street in Ikast, Frisenborg Sculpture Park, HEART, Carl-Henning Pedersen & Else Alfelts Museum, Textilforum, Jyske Bank Boxen, Messecenter Herning, Søby Brunkulslejer, Silkeborg and LEGOLAND.
- The hotel states that overnight guests have free access to Ikast Swimming and Wellness Centre, a short walk away. This is an off-site partner facility, not a hotel pool.
- The hotel warns of landslide danger at Søby Brunkulslejer.

AI rule: describe the swimming and wellness centre as an off-site partner facility with stated free access for overnight guests, subject to verification of opening hours, admission procedure, closures, age rules and accessibility. Never omit the official landslide warning when recommending Søby Brunkulslejer.

## History and identity
- The hotel states that it was built in 1962 with 24 rooms on the initiative of local textile manufacturers. The name "Medi" refers to its position in the middle of Ikast and of Jutland.
- An upper floor with 12 rooms was later added; the hotel was renovated in 1997, subsequently received a new facade, Café Chr. X and 21 additional rooms, and was bought by Danske Hoteller A/S in 2001.

AI rule: present these as the hotel's own historical account and connect the retro identity to Ikast's textile heritage without inventing independent claims.

## Sustainability
- The official site states that Hotel Medi is Green Key certified. Published measures include waste sorting, guest choice regarding cleaning and towels, water served in jugs rather than plastic bottles, avoiding disposable tableware, monitoring energy, water, heat and waste, minimum organic purchasing and food-waste procedures.

AI rule: verify current certification status before formal sustainability claims. Do not invent an Organic Cuisine Label for this property.
