This is where you’ll find the palaces; the much photographed old port district, Nyhavn; the Tivoli Gardens; many of the art galleries and museums, including the Design Museum; and the best shopping. The hotels in Indre By are ideal if you want a base that allows you to see the city on foot, or see the city views from your room.

For Copenhagen Views

-
Nyhaven 71, a former brick warehouse on Copenhagen’s iconic dockyard, pairs industrial-cool exteriors with sleek Danish design. With 150 rooms (larger ones boast the best views), a top restaurant, and prime access to sights, dining, and nightlife, it’s a stylish stay.
For Copenhagen Cool

-
The Socialist, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel is a wonderfully architectural looking, 31 room hotel. The unusual, dark coloured exterior is carried through into the lounge, bar and Nordic restaurant. The rooms and suites are decorated in white and soft greys, with accents of brushed concrete and marble, minimalist furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows.
- Hip SP34 is a boutique hotel in the Latin Quarter, with stylish rooms and suites in a range of sizes, and a fantastic penthouse with incredible views. The decor is neutral, but with edge; think unexpected art and details that add comfort and interest. This is a great city base for families too.
For Danish Design

- If you’re a fan of Danish design then Hotel Sanders is one to consider. This 54 room hotel is perfectly positioned and turned out, with a myriad of beautiful furnishing details, and a charming roof terrace bar known for its cocktails. The bistro restaurant downstairs is popular with locals too.
-
Hotel Danmark is ideal for anyone visiting Copenhagen to appreciate beautiful Danish design. Its 89 rooms and suites are carefully planned out to maximise the sense of space, but also to display stylish pieces of furniture — from the compact doubles to the big suites. There’s a rooftop cocktail bar with great city views and a chic but comfortable restaurant.
For Luxury

-
d'Angleterre, once a palace, now offers 90 lavish rooms and suites with chandeliers, silk, and marble grandeur. Its Michelin-starred restaurant, champagne bar, spa, pool, and gym complete an opulent Copenhagen stay steeped in timeless elegance.
-
Nobis Copenhagen is a hotel as grand as a palace, perfectly positioned in the heart of Copenhagen. There are 75 rooms and suites, featuring some of the original grand features, but updates with minimalist furniture and block colours. The French Nordic fusion restaurant is elegant and fabulous, as are the bar and spa.
For Fun

-
CitizenM Radhuspladsen has all the perks and hallmarks of your classic CitizenM: the pod bathrooms with coloured lighting you can control, the huge windows and beds, and the large and funky communal spaces. But this time with more Danish art. The views are really good too.
-
Ibsens Hotel sits in vibrant Nansensgade, near Tivoli Gardens. Central, stylish, and comfortable, it’s perfectly placed for transport, buzzing bars, and great restaurants.
For Foodies

-
Nimb Hotel looks like a Moorish Palace, especially when it’s lit up in the evening, and standing elegantly amongst the hubbub of lights in the Tivoli Gardens. The outside looks like a fairytale, but inside it’s smart and sophisticated, with cool neutrals and opulent contemporary accents. Its three dining options will not disappoint either.
For Couples

-
Hotel Kong Arthur, situated close to the peaceful Copenhagen Lakes, was converted from a grand building at the end of a secured cobbled alley. The 155 rooms and suites are all individually decorated with Danish design pieces and antiques. There’s a very memorable conservatory dining room, a cosy sitting room and delightful spa.
-
Scandic Palace Hotel is a striking and historic building close to city hall and the Tivoli Gardens. Inside, the 169 rooms and suites are light, comfortable and unfussy.
For a Bit More Space

-
Manon Les Suites is a collection of 80 rooms and suites arranged around a central, rectangular, indoor landscaped jungle pool. The shimmering blue-green tiles and hanging trellises of plants are unexpected but extremely pleasant, as is the rooftop courtyard and bar with a view. The rooms are designed with both style and comfort in mind.
For Great Value

-
Copenhagen Strand Hotel is wonderfully positioned on the water, just around the corner from beautiful Nyhavn and the Opera House, and across the water from cool Christiania. You’re within a short stroll from everything. In addition to the water views, these 174 rooms and suites are styled to Scandinavian perfection, with pale blue and neutral shades and lots of exposed wood. There’s no restaurant but there is a cafe and they offer breakfast.
-
Hotel Alexandra is packed with wonderful Danish furniture and art, though each of the 61 rooms and suites are different! The result is sophisticated but fun, and that feeling runs through to the cool bar, library and excellent restaurant. The location is within a stroll of many highlights too.
