Hotel Danmark — Classic Charm Meets Modern Cool
A bold fusion of 18th-century heritage and 1960s attitude in central Copenhagen
A Tale of Two Buildings
Hotel Danmark makes a memorable first impression by embracing its dual architectural identity. One wing dates back to 1792, its façade preserved with quiet dignity; the other, from 1969, now stands boldly reclad in racing-green tiles and emerald lacquer thanks to architect Morten Hedegaard. Together, the pair form an upscale boutique hotel that feels both rooted in Copenhagen’s past and energized by its contemporary design culture.
Interiors with Colour, Texture, and Confidence
Inspired by the nearby Thorvaldsen Museum, the hotel’s corridors and public spaces pulse with vibrant blues, dusty greens, terracotta tones, and glossy lacquered finishes. Mosaic-effect carpets, bold graphic accents, and tactile velvet-textured walls add visual punch. In the lobby, brass, black marble, and warm wood create an urban vineyard vibe, while the reception desk doubles as a 24/7 bar—casual, stylish, and unmistakably Brøchner.
Small Rooms, Big Personality
Across 88 rooms, the style skews modern-urban with Danish flair. Expect mosaic floors, leather headboards attached to custom iron bed frames, bronzed ceiling mirrors, and crisp white linens topped with ethical Aiayu throws. Bathrooms are compact—some very much so—but the aesthetic wins: grey and white tones, sleek fittings, and REN Clean Skincare amenities. For design-savvy groups on a budget, the two six-bed bunk rooms are some of the chicest backpacker options in town.
Touches of Classic Danish Craft
Subtle references to Danish design heritage appear throughout the guestrooms: handsome furniture silhouettes, clean lines, and built-in wooden details. A few rooms include balconies; all are optimized for comfort over excess. Brøchner’s signature in-room Fitness Kits add a thoughtful wellbeing touch for guests who like to stretch, strengthen, or unwind between city explorations.
Food, Wine, and Rooftop Views
Organic breakfasts are a Brøchner hallmark, and Hotel Danmark delivers: local produce, thoughtful curation, and generous variety. There’s no full restaurant in-house, but Tivolihallen next door satisfies cravings for Danish classics—especially smørrebrød. The lobby bar’s impressive collection of more than 50 international rums invites an evening linger, while the rooftop terrace is the hotel’s crown jewel: a 360-degree panorama of Copenhagen’s spires and canals, dotted with greenery, lounge seating, and summer DJ sets. Complimentary wine hour is, as ever, a guest favourite.
A Location That Does the Work for You
Hotel Danmark sits in the cultural heart of the city, a few minutes’ walk from Tivoli Gardens, the National Museum, Strøget, and the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. Central Station is a 10-minute stroll away, keeping the airport and outlying neighbourhoods within easy reach. Despite its ultra-central setting, the hotel’s atmosphere remains relaxed, unfussy, and quietly stylish.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Hotel Danmark is where two centuries of Copenhagen design meet—and spark. Compact rooms but big charisma, heritage architecture wrapped in modern colour, and a rooftop terrace that feels like the city’s living room. For travellers who crave a boutique hotel with personality, history, and a sense of place, this is one of Copenhagen’s most compelling addresses.
