Best Hotels in Copenhagen

Located in the famed neighborhood that it’s named after, 71 Nyhavn Hotel offers a stellar location and a slice of history in two converted 19th-century warehouses.

When it comes to location, 71 Nyhavn Hotel is a winner. Set on a prime waterfront spot in Copenhagen’s famed Nyhavn district, it’s in the thick of the action and even has a water bus stop just behind it. Converted from two historic 19th-century warehouses, the boutique property has character in spades with its exposed beams contrasted by contemporary furniture with a nod to Danish design. 

Some of the accommodations are on the smaller side, but many have picturesque canal views and all are outfitted with comfortable beds. In the morning, you’ll be welcomed with a generous buffet-style breakfast spread that’s included with your stay. And even though there’s no on-site restaurant to dine at for the remainder of the day, there are eateries within walking distance and delivery can be arranged through several of them if you want to enjoy a meal in your own quarters.

Steel House Copenhagen has both dorms and private rooms at an affordable price.

Most hostels are just about inexpensive, no-frills accommodations, but exceptional ones take it to the next level and that’s exactly what Steel House Copenhagen offers its budget-minded guests. The property is chock full of unexpected amenities such as an indoor pool, fitness center, game room, café, bar, and even a 25-seat movie theater for its patrons. Plus, it’s located in Vesterbro—a popular neighborhood filled with restaurants, watering holes, and shops—and less than a 10-minute walk away from Tivoli. 

For those who don’t mind sharing their digs, there are four- and six-bed dorms, both of which have their own bathrooms; if you cherish having your own space, shell out a little more for a private room.

Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center offers several amenities for kids, is just a short walk away from the namesake amusement park, and offers accommodations at an affordable rate.

If you’re bringing the kids along to Copenhagen, you’ll want to be near Tivoli Gardens, and Tivoli Hotel & Congress center is just a 15-minute walk away. The property even offers packages that include admission to the famed amusement park, with one option that also covers an unlimited ride ticket, entrance to the aquarium, a meal at one of the select restaurants, and more perks. 

But even within the property, you’ll find plenty of amenities for the little ones including a large indoor pool, an outdoor playground, and a colorful playroom with children-friendly activities. There’s a wide array of accommodations to choose from, ranging from standard rooms to executive suites, and even a Tivoli-themed option with carnival-inspired decor. And with seven on-site food and beverage venues, you’ll never have to eat at the same place twice.

There are four dining options to choose from, but you won’t want to miss out on a glass of bubbly at Balthazar Champagne Bar, followed by a meal at the Michelin-starred Marchal where executive chef Jakob de Neergaard puts a French twist on Nordic cuisine.

The intimate Nimb Hotel has just 38 accommodations, all of which are uniquely decorated, and Tivoli Gardens is in its backyard.

But arguably one of its best perks is its location. With Tivoli Gardens in its backyard, you’ll have direct, and complimentary, access to the amusement park as well as an unlimited ride ticket included with your stay.

Floating right on the water, Hotel CPH Living offers something different from your typical accommodations.

Upon your arrival, you’ll quickly notice that much of Copenhagen's life revolves around the water.

The family-owned Hotel CPH Living is the city’s first boatel and has 12 double rooms on board. Accommodations are on the smaller side, but offer heated floors and floor-to-ceiling windows with incredible views of the water and city. If you prefer some fresh air with your vistas, there’s also a rooftop terrace where you can take in the sights before or after you head out for the day. Plus, sustainably-minded travelers will be happy to know that the property utilizes a geothermal heating system that helps to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

With an enviable pool area, Manon Les Suites is an Instagram gold mine.

For the social media-inclined traveler, Manon Les Suites is fodder for your feed.

The equally attractive rooftop terrace provides guests with the opportunity to laze in the sun or relax in their steam room and sauna. 

In addition to these two picturesque spaces, the property has residential-style suites with a separate living area and kitchenettes. If you’re traveling with the family, there are two-bedroom options with over 700 square feet of space so that everyone has enough space to roam around. And if you need to get a workout session in, there’s a fitness center complete with a boxing ring and personal trainers.
