Hotels in Copenhagen

The Danish capital offers old-world charm and cosmopolitan cool. An old port city, its canals meander through town where waterside restaurants and cafés offer a break from the city’s prime boutique shopping and buzzing cultural edge.

Among the city’s classical attractions are Tivoli Gardens, a fairytale amusement park located in the heart of town, the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek with one of Europe’s finest private collections of art from antiquity, and Rosenborg Castle, a jewel box royal residence that presents more than 400 years of period interiors and royal regalia.

A capital of design, Copenhagen is also home to the Danish Design Centre with its changing exhibitions, and the Danish Museum of Art and Design with major collections of decorative art and modern design classics. And for those aching to take a little Scandinavian design home with them, the city brims with showrooms offering contemporary and vintage collectables.

Several of the city’s most splendid modern art museums are located in scenic surroundings on the outskirts of the city. In the woodlands to the north you find the internationally acclaimed Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and Ordrupgaard with its striking new extension designed by Zaha Hadid that showcases a highlight collection of French Impressionism. And literally cutting into the dunes on the sandy beaches to the south is the ARKEN Museum of Modern Art with its gallery art space for today’s young art prodigies.

An unrivalled gourmet capital, Copenhagen offers the widest selection of Michelin-rated restaurants in any Scandinavian city, serving gastro-excellence from the New Nordic Kitchen as well as international culinary favourites. Gourmet eateries and quality cafés abound. After all, where better to enjoy a coffee-and-Danish than Copenhagen?

Copenhagen is an accessible city with an easygoing, friendly atmosphere – a truly happening city that blends sleek Scandinavian style with classic charm.
