4 Best Hotels in Copenhagen, Denmark

This 1960 Arne Jacobsen high-rise has been fully restored as a paean to the legendary designer and will appeal to those who want classic mid-century style along with more modern comforts. Rooms are paneled in light maple and outfitted with Jacobsen chairs and lamps. The most famous rooms are 506 and 606, looking precisely as they did in 1960, with all the original furnishings, including a nifty desktop that opens to reveal a lighted makeup mirror. Many of the rooms have views over Tivoli and the city center's copper-top buildings. 

In this well-preserved former spice warehouse, the rooms are tiny but cozy, with warm wooden spreads, dark woods, soft leather furniture, and crisscrossing timbers. It all overlooks the old ships of Nyhavn. The thick plaster walls are adorned with paintings by prominent Danish painters, including Jens Jørgen Thorsen, Asger Jorn, and the hotel's own founder, Alf Arp-Hansen. 

This impeccably maintained, bright budget hotel is just west of the lakes and Vesterport Station and one of the best budget options in town. Rooms are very small but are designed with efficiency to include ample showers and foldaway and bunk beds.
