It mainly consists of '''Scandic Falconer Hotel & Conference Centre'''. It has two venues which play host to both conferences such as concerts and shows.
==History== The corner of Falkoner Allé and Howitzvej where the centre complex now stands, was previously the site of Frederiksberg's first town hall which was built there in 1886 but torn down in 1953. The new centre was built between 1958 and 1959 to a Modernist design by Ole Hagen. It was the tallest building of Denmark from 1958 to 1960, when it was surpassed by the Radisson Blu Royal Hotel.<ref name=emp>''Radisson SAS Falconer Hotel'', page on {{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20150513035418/http://www.emporis.com/buildings/149225/radisson-sas-falconer-hotel-frederiksberg-denmark www.emporis.com]}} (accessed on 29-12-2015)</ref> It was the site of the last concert by Judy Garland on March 25, 1969, with opening act by singer Johnnie Ray.
