Copenhagen hotels 2023: The best places to stay for all budgets

Copenhagen is a city that delivers style in spades – effortlessly cool, with slick design everywhere you look. As Scandimania – and particularly Denmark – has taken hold around the world over the past few years, there’s been a steady stream of new tourists landing in the Danish capital, which doesn’t fail to deliver when it comes to either a short city break or a longer holiday.

The increase in visitors has prompted a surge in new hotels, but Copenhagen can still be an expensive city, and choosing the right hotel is vital – especially if you’re on a budget or travelling in a large group. So let me help. I grew up here, and still visit several times a year, so I’ve spent many days and weeks staying in the city’s hotels.

Here’s my pick of those which hit the right balance between style, price and comfort, from the luxurious Hotel Astoria to the family-friendly Manon Les Suites.

Neighbourhood: Latin Quarter

In the Latin quarter, a short walk from Stroeget (Europe’s longest pedestrianised shopping street), Hotel SP34 is located in a series of converted townhouses. A sharp sense of style and a roof terrace for sunny days make it a popular choice. The hotel has rooms to suit all budgets, from the small single to the lush penthouse, which comes with a free bar and private roof terrace. Regardless of size, however, they all have the same clean Nordic design and functionality – plus upmarket REN toiletries.

The well-stocked bar claims to have the largest selection of port wine in Denmark and serves an organic lager, brewed especially for the hotel. Best of all? The daily wine hour, between 5pm and 6pm.
