The Best Hotels in Copenhagen

"Best Copenhagen hotel for: modern opulence Centrally located, right by Copenhagen Central Station and Tivoli Gardens, this 2020-opened modern take on the grand hotel brings new life to the city’s former Central Post and Telegraph Head Office, which dates back to 1912. In its new era as one of the city’s most coveted places to stay, this sprawling heritage landmark houses a collection of buzzy social spaces alongside four levels of sprawling rooms, all designed to feel like a grand Copenhagen apartment, distinguished by their high ceilings, herringbone floors, gold accents, and tall windows. The Shamballa Suite focuses on providing a place of peace and tranquillity and the Earth Suite showcases innovative sustainability solutions in space using only recycled materials. The pinnacle of accommodation options is the Universal Penthouse Suite spanning two floors linked by a spiral staircase. On entering the hotel, the capacious Courtyard Bar makes quite the impression with its sophisticated interiors taking cues from Nordic simplicity and showstopper glass canopy. This social enclave—also featuring full-size trees—leads through to the cozy Kontrast brasserie focusing on locally produced and sustainable ingredients, and the sophisticated T37 wine and cocktail bar integrating features of the old post office. A local and seasonal breakfast is served in the former sorting room and freshly baked bread and pastries come from the onsite RUG bakery. A highlight for guests is the 25m open-air, sustainably-heated rooftop pool that’s only accessible to people staying here.
