Danish cool is recognized worldwide and the best hotels in Copenhagen only bolster the reputation. World-class restaurants, a forward-thinking eco-mentality, and an affinity for voguish design not only help make Copenhagen a go-to European destination, but they are just a few of the factors that set the Danish capital’s thriving hotel scene apart. Old and new neighborhoods are now home to some of the most exciting hotels to have debuted across Europe recently. Stay on Christiansholm, known as Paper Island, in a repurposed brewery, or find theatrical inspiration at a boutique retreat across from the Danish Royal Theatre. Take a dip in the open-air pool atop a former post office or join Copenhageners in imbibing natural wines in a courtyard that could just as easily be in Paris. Here, we round up the best hotels in Copenhagen to make planning your trip a breeze.
Every hotel review on this list has been written by a Condé Nast Traveler journalist who knows the destination and has visited that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider properties across price points that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination, keeping design, location, service, and sustainability credentials top of mind. This gallery has been updated with new information since its original publish date.
