Locke Copenhagen

Postbyen, moments from Copenhagen Central Station

Locke Copenhagen brings apartment-style living to Postbyen, one of Copenhagen's newest neighbourhoods, just a short walk from Central Station, Tivoli Gardens and the Meatpacking District. The studios and suites all include their own kitchen and dining area, making the hotel feel far more flexible than a traditional city stay.

Downstairs, you'll find a restaurant, coffee bar, cocktail bar, coworking spaces, a gym and a shared garden. It feels less like a hotel and more like a lively neighbourhood where people naturally spend time throughout the day.

Why we like it: You get the freedom of an apartment while still enjoying the atmosphere and energy of a boutique hotel.

Coco Hotel

Vesterbro

Coco Hotel has become one of Copenhagen's most loved boutique hotels, and it's easy to see why. Located in Vesterbro, it combines colourful interiors with a leafy courtyard that feels surprisingly peaceful for such a central location.

The café and wine bar attract locals as well as hotel guests, while the green courtyard becomes one of the nicest places in the neighbourhood on a sunny afternoon. Despite having almost ninety rooms, the hotel still feels personal and relaxed.

Why we like it: The courtyard. On a sunny afternoon, it feels like you've stumbled into a hidden garden in the middle of Copenhagen.

Hotel Sanders

Near Nyhavn

Hotel Sanders has become one of Copenhagen's benchmark boutique hotels. It feels more like an elegant private residence than a conventional luxury hotel. Rich wood, fireplaces, warm lighting and beautifully layered interiors give every room a sense of character without ever feeling overdone.

The rooftop conservatory is one of the nicest places in the hotel to settle in with a drink, while the covered courtyard offers another inviting place to linger downstairs. From here you're only a few minutes' walk from Nyhavn, Kongens Nytorv and the Royal Danish Theatre.

Why we like it: Every corner feels thoughtfully designed without ever becoming intimidating.
