The Best Hotels in Copenhagen

"Best Copenhagen hotel for: the eco-savvy At first sight, there’s little on the outside of this suites-only property on a main road north of the city center that reveals it’s one of the city’s stand-out hotels. But step inside and the story is very different. The former factory has been reconfigured in funky riad style with a central courtyard garden surrounded by six floors of balconied apartments. At its epicenter is the indoor pool, lined with day beds and surrounded by greenery like some wonderfully steamy tropical wonderland. The owner, Guldsmeden, is behind some of Copenhagen’s more characterful small hotels, including the most recently opened Bryggen. This was the group’s first venture into something bigger. The 87 suites are simply done out with raw concrete ceilings, small kitchen areas, and compact bathrooms, all with cheerful Balinese touches such as bamboo towel rails and bright, handwoven cushion covers. Down in the basement, there’s a hip gym, which feels a bit like a nightclub with its pumping music and industrial aesthetics. The sixth floor houses the hotel’s restaurant, Chapung, pairing an Asian fusion menu with great views across the city’s lakes and a roof terrace for summer evenings. The signature breakfast uses all organic ingredients and for true eco-enthusiasts, there is muesli made from leftover breadcrumbs. This sustainable philosophy extends throughout the hotel, from the use of organic paint to providing compostable toothbrushes.
