In Copenhagen, the term ‘luxury’ has a different definition. Denmark is an extremely equality-driven place, where people find privilege a bit distasteful and open displays of wealth in bad form. There’s even an unofficial cultural rule about it, called Janteloven, which criticises anyone who thinks that they’re better than anyone else. So, when it comes to swanky hotels, don’t expect too much in the obvious glitz and glam category: luxury in these parts is understated rather than showy.
The very best of the city’s luxury hotels are supremely tasteful, with excellent service, and an approach that prioritises your comfort, making you feel at home. They focus on the little things that Danes hold dear: minimalist style (so no gold taps), a thoughtful approach, exquisite details and a sense of hygge. The best of the city’s luxury hotels make you feel special and are set in locations where you’re in the heart of the action and able to experience the very best of the city.
