Review: Copenhagen Marriott Hotel | Prince of Travel

While spending some time in Copenhagen on my recent European trip, I spent four nights at the Copenhagen Marriott Hotel.

The earlier part of my trip to Iceland and the Faroe Islands was an action-packed adventure. On the other hand, for my time in Copenhagen, I simply needed a good home base from which I could work, relax, and explore the city at a leisurely pace before heading onto the next leg of my trip. 

In the end, the Marriott very much ticked those boxes for me. Let’s take a look at my experience.

Many of the better hotel options in town are affiliated with local Danish or Scandinavian hotel brands, such as the Arp-Hansen Hotel Group. Since these are independent chains, there aren’t many opportunities to earn or redeem points, nor to leverage elite benefits such as free breakfast.

After giving it some thought, I eventually settled on staying here at the Copenhagen Marriott, booking four nights at a favourable travel agent rate.

The average public rate during this summer’s high season was $500+ (CAD) per night for this modest but not overly luxurious property.

If you’re making an award redemption here at the Copenhagen Marriott Hotel, a one-night stay at this property will cost you 48,000–55,000 Marriott Bonvoy points.

With our current valuation of Bonvoy points at 0.9 cents per point (cpp), you can get decent, but not necessarily outstanding value by redeeming points.

Copenhagen Marriott Hotel – Location

The Copenhagen Marriott is located in Kalvebod Brygge, a waterfront area in the Vesterbro district of Copenhagen.

The property is nestled just next to the Kalvebod Bølge, an urban boardwalk jetting out over the waterfront, and an ideal spot for a leisurely stroll.

It’s a short 10-minute walk to cafés, museums, and nearby popular…
