Seven of the Coolest Copenhagen Stays

Seven of the Coolest Copenhagen Stays

Offering state-of-the-art spas, rooftop bars and in-house galleries, these are the seven Copenhagen hotels we can’t stop thinking about



Despite
this being Denmark’s capital, there’s an air of
tranquillity about Copenhagen’s cobblestone streets. Home to grand and
glorious townhouses flanked by mystical lakes and pockets of lush
greenery, the city is considered something of a benchmark for
sustainable living – an accolade that can be traced through its
hyperlocal menus, climate-conscious transport
system and cutting-edge architecture.

Keen to explore the birthplace of Scandinavian design for
yourself? We’ve rounded up seven brilliant boltholes that make for
a genuinely restorative stay, where amenities such as in-house
galleries, al fresco dining and custom-made furnishings
await.

Seven seriously cool Copenhagen hotels to visit

Coco Hotel, Copenhagen

hotel

Coco Hotel

Parisian chic meets Nordic cool at Coco Hotel. Located in the
neighbourhood of Vesterbo, just a short stroll from the lively
Meatpacking District, this is the first offering from Danish-based
hospitality group Cofoco – and it does not disappoint. Outside,
blue-striped awnings complement a sleek grey facade, with a private
courtyard decorated with bistro-style seating making for great al
fresco dining – meet you there for a pastry-filled breakfast. While
the 88, light-filled bedrooms are all unique in shape and size,
each is kitted out with the same custom-made materials, with
colour-block walls, abstract prints and rattan furnishings. Hungry?
Head to sibling restaurant Delphine, where you’ll find an exceptional
Mediterranean menu.

Nobis Hotel

Nobis Hotel needs little introduction, given that it is the only
Denmark-based member of the Design Hotels collection. Back in 2017,
a refurb helmed by talented Swedish architect Gert Wingårdh saw a
transformation that took the period features of this 19th-century
townhouse and fused them with a contemporary aesthetic – think
steel four-poster beds, soft leather chairs and custom-made desks.
Post-sightseeing, pay a visit to the ground-floor spa, where a gym,
plunge pool and heat treatment rooms are on standby for a self-care
afternoon. Then, slip downstairs to in-house restaurant NOI, where
chef Mads Børgesen whips up seasonal dishes using all-local
produce.

Manon Les Suites

hotel

Manon Les Suites

This tropical hideout feels better suited to an off-grid town in
Bali than a city – and we mean that in the best way possible. Manon
Les Suites, which is part of hospitality group Guldsmeden, is
centred around an inviting pool space wrapped with umbrellas,
terracotta pots, fish pendant lamps and double daybeds. Rooms are
designed for apart-style living, with fully equipped kitchens,
spacious living areas and snug bedrooms. Spend evenings on the
rooftop terrace, where exceptional Asian-inspired sharing plates
and exotic cocktails leave no reason to venture outside the hotel’s
front doors. There’s also a sauna, steam room and bucket-style
shower on the terrace – we’ll leave the choice up to you.

Gyldenløvesgade 19, 1600

Hotel Kong Arthur

Hotel Kong Arthur

You’ll find 155 bedrooms, three restaurants, an in-house gallery
and the city’s largest spa spread across four separate buildings at
Hotel Kong Arthur, which is situated just a stone’s throw from
Copenhagen’s legendary Botanical Gardens. Guests can enjoy organic
breakfasts in the curvaceous glass dining room, tapas-style lunch
at Pintxos and slurp-worthy spaghetti at La Rocca. The bedrooms are
exactly what you’d hope for: enormous Chester armchairs, velvet
pouffes and fluffy duvets welcome a bad-weather day.

25 Indres By Hotel

25hours Hotel Indre By

Having opened in spring of this year, Indre By is the first
Danish outpost from hip hotel chain 25hours. A former porcelain
factory, the building was reimagined by London-based Martin
Brudnizki Design Studio, transforming it, with a playful palette,
into an urban oasis. With cork headboards, chalkboard walls and
upholstered furnishings, there is something devilishly daring about
this stay. It’s the community aspect, however, that we love. From
the Vinyl Room to a secret garden and the Love Library, there are
lots of hidden gems to discover during your visit. There are also
impressive fitness facilities, resident DJ nights, top-notch
restaurants and buzzy bar areas to keep you entertained. You’ll
find us sipping on an extra-large mojito, gawking at one of the
talented barmen whipping up another concoction at the Assembly
Bar.

The Audo

The Audo

The Audo is the sort of hotel that makes you redesign your
entire house, before even visiting. This 10-key boutique boasts a
show space, co-working base, concept store and café, while
remaining a great place to recharge your batteries, obvs.
Earth-toned rooms are decked out with natural leathers, marble
tables and cloud-like sofas – all of which are purchasable. The
best bit? Each area, be it a light-filled work corner or sheltered
bedroom, has been purposefully designed to positively impact
guests’ wellbeing, in recognition of there being a connection
between environment and emotion. Follow grand staircases, wade
through indoor trees or relax in quiet reading quarters.

Århusgade 130, 2150

Zoku, Copenhagen

hotel

Zoku Copenhagen

Calling all digital nomads: we’ve found your next destination.
Step forward, Zoku. At Copenhagen’s ultimate home-from-home hotel,
loft-style bedrooms see working spaces separated from living
quarters with retractable wooden staircases. Meanwhile, a top-floor
communal area features enormous tables and an open kitchen – which
makes for great snack breaks. There’s also a terrace social space,
perfect for a post-work drink, and a host of regular music events.
In town on a Monday? Don’t miss pizza night.
