A friendly boutique hotel in a very central location, free of unnecessary luxury but with tasteful decor, a green courtyard, a coffee bar in the lobby, and DJ sets on weekends. Sustainability is a top priority—bedding is made from organically produced linen, and electricity comes from the hotel’s own solar power plant in Jutland.

A truly special hotel, Kanalhuset is located in the island district of Christianshavn. Housed in an impressive, heritage-listed building from the 18th century, it was once a boarding school for naval cadets. The interiors feature Danish vintage furniture, adding to its unique charm. One of the hotel's standout features is its restaurant, where guests dine at communal tables, reminiscent of hotels in bygone eras.

Located right behind the Royal Danish Theatre, this boutique hotel was opened in 2017 by former Danish ballet dancer Alexander Kølpin. Designed by the London-based studio Lind + Almond, the hotel was created to evoke the atmosphere of a Danish home—one that, as they put it, “belongs to well-traveled people.”
