With our partner easyJet Holidays, these are the best boutique hotels and grand palaces to stay at in Copenhagen
Absalon Hotel
Part design museum, part luxury hotel
Best for… art lovers
Widely recognised as one of the city’s best, this fresh urban hotel layers decor by the prestigious English Designer’s Guild across its boutique townhouse. Endlessly customisable, down to whether you want to enjoy your complimentary organic cosmetics in a bathtub or shower or you choose berry- or ocean-themed decor, it’s been family-run since opening in 1938. Its neighbourhood – trendy, creative Vesterbro – has changed, but the hotel’s third generation of proprietors is as warm, knowledgeable and hospitable as the family that first made it famous.

Sadly the designer jacket doesn't come with the room
Best for… foodies
Classy, laidback and understated in its luxury, this beautiful hotel built inside an old department store is classic Copenhagen. Voted one of the best hotels in northern Europe, its style statement – form and function – isn’t just confined to its striking rooms or stunning lobby. Its concept restaurant is a foodie destination, and its afternoon ‘tea wonderland’ – in collaboration with Moët et Chandon and inspired by the hotel’s neighbourhood, the quirky Latin Quarter – is uniquely wonderful.

Effortlessly cool
Best for… artists
Like a dry martini or a little black dress, there’s something timeless about this elegant hotel near the harbour thanks to its wood panelling, tasteful antique pieces and lovely rooftop terrace. That’s deliberate: the hotel is inspired by Danish artist Vilhelm Hammershøi, a Copenhagen native who loved painting the city, and his sleek palette of blacks and mahoganies runs throughout. Copenhagen has one of the most exciting food scenes in the world: the in-house restaurant, The Shrimp, is a mainstay.
Sankt Annæ Plads
Book with easyJet HolidaysAnnex Copenhagen
A hotel within a hotel
Best for… classy backpacking
What could be more Copenhagen than this chic little hostel-style hotel, sat within the Absalon Hotel in one of the city’s most fashionable districts minutes from the train station and just miles from the airport? The Absalon’s cool little sister, it too pops with bespoke Designer’s Guild features across its rooms – private, but with up to four beds – and chic shared bathrooms. Guests can mingle in the grander Absalon’s public spaces, or lounge in the Annex’s own chillout room.

Book with easyJet HolidaysFirst Hotel Mayfair
The First Hotel Mayfair is handy for many Copenhagen attractions
Best for… mixing business and pleasure
Everything you’d hope for from a modern luxe Danish hotel set in Copenhagen’s (kind of) former red-light district, this grand hotel has a playful side hidden just underneath its classical facade. Its smart rooms, fitness centre and workspaces are great for business; when it comes to pleasure, close your laptop and head to the tranquil bar, or out into fabulous Vesterbro. Everything, from The Meatpacking District to Tivoli Gardens, is a short walk away.
