The Best Hotels in Copenhagen, From a Boutique Urban Retreat to a Repurposed Brewery

"Best Copenhagen hotel for: theatrical inspiration When it opened in 2017, this property found almost opposite the stage door of the Royal Danish Theatre became the third hotel from Alexander Kolpin, a former ballet dancer and the son of a theater designer and producer. Here, Kolpin and the British design firm Lind + Almond created an urban retreat in which theatrical inspiration can be seen through spaces such as the Tata cocktail bar (named after the red curtain in the neighboring theatre) designed with gold lights and plump velvet or damask cushions. Hotel Sanders houses a total of 54 bedrooms, across three handsome 19th-century townhouses, decked out with mid-century modern furnishings and a whole range of textures from hessian walls to marble panelling and Liberty wallpapers. Bespoke velvet chairs and vintage Danish lamps provide a glamorous touch to the otherwise homely lobby. The tiny kitchen restaurant with its low-key bistro menu is a laid-back, plant-filled space perfectly in tune with its young, cool diners. Of all the relaxed public spaces, of special note is the roof terrace, beautifully lit with Moroccan lanterns and stuffed with rattan furniture and woven rugs. The brilliant staff are multitasking masters in uniforms straight out of a Wes Anderson film and are happy to sort out anything from superb in-room cocktails to arranging a personal trainer.
