Opened on 3rd November 1961, the Imperial Biografen is located in the middle of a large office block and hotel complex in the centre of Copenhagen (a new National Theatre was also part of the plan, but was never built). It is operated by the Nordisk Film cinema chain.

Designed by architects Otto Frankild, assisted by Jorgen Hoj and Svend Aage Hansen. There is spacious outer foyer containing the ticket office and an extremely large two level main inner foyer which contains a cafe on the ground floor and a licenced bar on the first floor. All seating is provided on one stepped floor and originally, when first opened, the capacity was for 1,521. The cinema is equipped to screen 70mm film and its projected onto a 17 metres (51 feet) wide screen. The Imperial Bio is always technichally maintained with the latest equipment installed and is THX certified. Occasional live performances are held in the auditorium.

The current reduced seating capacity is due to larger seats recently installed with more legroom. It is the 'premiere' cinema of Copenhagen, although sadly in recent years has lost some of its audience to a new multiplex cinema at Fisketorvet.
