Hotel Dannuirke, 217-219 Milwaukee Avenue, owned by Christian Hansen, and Hotel Danmark, 126-128 Kinzie Street, owned by Alfred Mortensen, are considered that two best hotels in Chicago today. They are regarded as on a par with the Palmer House and the Grand Pacific Hotel.

The two Danish hotels are patronized by Europeans of all classes, including immigrants. The service is "top notch," and even though the "furnishings" are not as elaborate as those of some hotels, both places are very popular.
