Best hotels in Copenhagen for 2025, reviewed

Simon Calder’s Travel

After the hotel boom of recent years, Copenhagen is awash with beautiful hotels. But how to find the best ones? Location is important, of course. The very best are in locations that are close to key attractions, including the restaurant scene, but offer peace and privacy too. Even in this tiny city, a couple of streets makes the difference between a chic stay and one where you’re kept up all night.

Flashy mod cons are not a feature of this city, where equality is important and boasting is looked down on, and you won’t find many hotels with a pool or hotels with oversized bedrooms. Instead, the best of the best introduce the city’s style and design heritage, make you feel part of it, and make you wonder if you should move to the city, too.

In this pick of the best hotels list, expect beautiful mid-century modern Danish design, sleek, uncomplicated and minimalist decor, excellent but unobtrusive service and an overwhelming feeling of comfort. They offer a chance to indulge in the city’s distinctive vibe, which is by turns design-led, chic, laid back and obsessed with hygge.

The best hotels in Copenhagen

1. Kong Arthur

In a hidden courtyard a few streets from Copenhagen’s lovely Torvehallerne food market, Kong Arthur bills itself as a ‘live like a local’ experience, but it’s so much more than that. From the welcoming lobby-lounge to the array of calm neutral-toned bedrooms, it’s packed with Danish style treats, beautiful artwork and great service. Smaller bedrooms are good value – you might even on occasion find one under £150 per night, which is a miracle in this pricey city – while the larger suites with lofted sleeping areas and lounges will make you want to move in and never move out. All in all, it’s a great experience; modern Danish heritage furniture, parquet floors and a location near the chi-chi lakes makes it a stand out option.

Address: Nørre Søgade 11, Copenhagen
