Dunlop felt Arne Jacobsen's interior no longer reflected Radisson's attitude to what a modern hotel interior should be, and rather than being an asset the fallout from Jacobsen's hotel became a burden for them. Dunlop considered that 'SAS disliked the Copenhagen building. What gm+ad thought of as a cool, modernist and timeless interior, they would consider to be a cold and dated airport lounge'.
