The Best Design Hotels in Copenhagen – Updated 2025
With a great food scene, beautiful cobbled streets, and colorful houses, Copenhagen is a wonderful destination if you want to take a city trip without being completely overwhelmed by its size. Pretty much everything is within walking distance of the city center.
Scandinavians love good design, so the hotel market in these countries is absolutely amazing. There are so many stylish hotels that it’s hard to pick one for your trip.
In this post, I’ve selected the most beautiful design hotels in Copenhagen so you can start dreaming about a trip to Denmark’s capital city, where you can stay in style.
Hotel Bella Grande
Hotel Bella Grande is a new four-star hotel in Copenhagen located in a beautiful historic building from 1899. Bella Grande is a classic boutique hotel in the vibrant Latin Quarter of Copenhagen and only a few steps from The City Hall Square.
The hotel surrounds a lively Italian courtyard, and its design is timeless and contemporary, a place where historic charm meets modern sophistication. The hotel features 109 rooms and suites, bike rental, a popular Italian restaurant Donna, an Italian inspired atrium courtyard, and a gym.
Hotel Grand Joanne
Grand Joanne is located in a restored 1800s building in the heart of Copenhagen. The building has been a hotel for more than a hundred years, and after years of renovation, Grand Joanne re-opened with a new look and a new name in April 2023. Their mission is to create a lifestyle hotel that feels innovative and personal and has a specific character of its own.
The boutique hotel features 162 cozy rooms, suites, and penthouses, bike rental, a gym, a rooftop, and Joanne’s restaurant and bar. The hotel aims to bring people together to create shared memories over, food, drinks, music, and culture.
Park Lane Copenhagen
A cherished landmark in Hellerup, a picturesque coastal suburb of Copenhagen (only 15 minutes by train from Copenhagen central station), has been reborn as the elegant Park Lane Copenhagen—an exclusive boutique hotel that welcomed its first guests on January 15, 2025.
The historic building’s transformation was artfully led by the acclaimed design studio &TEMPEL, under the creative direction of visionary Camilla van den Tempel. The result is a seamless fusion of the site’s rich heritage and a refined, timeless aesthetic.

25hours Hotel Indre By
Colorful and fun in the heart of Copenhagen. In a former porcelain factory and university building, minutes from Nørrebro station, lies 25hours Hotel Indre By. The 243 rooms range from a single room to gigantic suites, each with its own colorful, art-filled design.
The hotel features several bars and restaurants, bike rental, and a well-being area. If you want a cool, edgy, fun, and colorful hotel, this is the right one for you.
Hotel Sanders
Hotel Sanders is a five-star hotel that has been voted one of the best hotels in Scandinavia multiple times. The 54-room hotel is located only meters from the popular tourist spot Nyhavn and the Danish Royal Theatre, so it couldn’t be more central.
The design in Hotel Sanders is impeccable, with lots of wicker, wood, fireplaces, and cozy nooks. You could say it’s filled with Danish hygge. The hotel has a plant-filled roof terrace, a courtyard, and a cocktail bar, all styled to perfection.
Hotel Sanders is a pricy hotel, but if you can afford it and you love design, it’s worth it. And you can always subscribe to their newsletter for special offers (while I’m writing this, they have a ‘stay 3 nights, pay for 2’ offer).
The loft apartments you stay in are stylish, functional, and big enough to be called home for a longer period. With the ability to screen off the sleeping area, the whole loft can be further adjusted to become cozy, business-like, or something in between.
The Zoku Loft can be personalized with art from the art swap in the hallways and comes with all the necessary residential and business facilities.
And the hotel also features amazing social spaces to play, work, meet, and live in. The Zoku Living Kitchen serves simple, honest, healthy, and delicious food.
Zoku Copenhagen is located on the Amager island, and the city center is just five minutes away by metro. And as Copenhagen is a city for biking, you can also hire bicycles at the hotel.
Brøchner Hotels
Brøchner Hotels is a hotel chain with luxury boutique hotels in Copenhagen. At the moment they have 6 hotels to choose from in Copenhagen, and next year they will also dive into the hostel market with a stylish design hostel in Aarhus (the 2nd city in Denmark). But in this post I’m staying in Copenhagen, so let’s take a look at the best Brøchner Hotels.
Hotel Danmark
Hotel Danmark is centrally located at walking distant from the Central Station, Glyptoteket and Christiansborg Palace. I’ve stayed twice at this hotel and I can say it’s an ideal location to explore Copenhagen.
You’ll see lots of marble, green tones, and brass fixtures in the rooms ranging from a bunk bed room, small single rooms to a junior suite. The only downside for me is that they don’t have a restaurant, but they do serve an organic breakfast.
Hotel SP34
Hotel SP34 is located in the Latin Quarter of Copenhagen. The Latin Quarter is a bohemian area with design shops and restaurants at only 500 meters from Tivoli. SP34 is decorated in a combination of raw materials like concrete combined with warm wood. Very Scandinavian!
Hotel Ottilia
Hotel Ottilia is the newest addition to the Brøchner family. It’s located a bit out of the city center but the hotel rents out bicycles so you’re in the city centre in no time.
The hotel is located in the Carlsberg District which is a vibrant up-and-coming area of Copenhagen where a lot of new shops and urban restaurants pop up.
The hotel is designed in an industrial style with lots of raw concrete and stylish Danish design.
The Audo
The Audo isn’t just a hotel, it is a meeting place where the international art and design community can come together, collaborate, experiment, and incorporate the inspiration they find into a unique story that they can then share with the world.
The Audo is a collaboration between Norm Architects and the furniture company Menu. At The Audo, you’ll find a concept store, restaurant, and cafe, co-working space, gathering place, ánd hotel.
The 10 hotel rooms are carefully designed with beautiful design furniture and high-quality materials. If you’re looking for a unique and stylish stay in Copenhagen, this is it!
Nobis Hotel
Nobis Hotel is a hotel where Neoclassical architecture and sleek design are combined in a wonderful way.
The hotel is located in an early 20th-century building that used to house the Royal Danish Academy of Music and has been carefully restored to accommodate Nobis Hotel.
The hotel is light with blue and green color touches in combination with natural materials such as wood, wool, leather, and marble.
Villa Copenhagen
Villa Copenhagen is a new hotel that opened in April 2020 and quickly became a favorite for design and fashion lovers. With a rooftop pool, a bakery, and a central location, this hotel should be on the top of your list.
The hotel is located in a stately building next to Tivoli Gardens (yes, for central locations!). Villa Copenhagen houses 390(!) rooms, all designed in a light Scandinavian style with high ceilings.
If you love timeless Scandinavian style, being close to public transport, great food, and the convenience of renting a bicycle, then this is the hotel for you.
Hotel Skt Petri
Centrally located in the Latin Quarter Hotel Skt. Petri is a beautiful design hotel with cozy rooms and impressive design. The unique and spacious rooms and suites are furnished with an eye for laidback luxury – all designed in a Scandinavian style with an international touch.
The hotel is currently undergoing a major renovation as it transitions into 1 Hotel Copenhagen, the first of its kind in Scandinavia.
Manon Les Suites
Hotel Manon Les Suites is a bohemian lover’s dream! This 5-star hotel in the center of Copenhagen is a relaxed and sustainable lifestyle hotel. Every room/suite is decorated with a canopy bed and has a little kitchenette with a fridge and coffee/tea facilities, and in the bathroom, you’ll find biological products.
The entire hotel is an urban oasis with many plants and natural materials, and it even has a small swimming pool.
The hotel also has a roof terrace, and they organize ‘lounge Fridays’ by the pool. This isn’t a quiet hotel, but if you love to stay at a fashionable and sustainable hotspot, Manon Les Suites is your hotel
