Where to Stay in Copenhagen
Copenhagen has many wonderful neighborhoods to consider for your stay. Here is a quick breakdown below and also see my map at the end to help plan for a hotel close to things you want to do!
Keep in mind, Copenhagen is super easy to get around with an impressive biking system in place!
- Vesterbro is one of the best neighborhoods to stay in when visiting Copenhagen, due to its inviting atmosphere, lively streets and numerous restaurants, bars and shops.
- Frederiksberg offers a more suburban feel with its cobblestone streets and sprawling green parks.
- Nørrebro is popular among young locals and tourists alike for its trendy cafés and niche boutiques.
- Christianshavn is known for its winding canals, picturesque buildings and stunning harbor views.
- However, I would stay in Indre By for your first visit which literally means “Inner City” and refers to the city center. This will put you close to Nyhavn and walking distance to many shops, restaurants, and attractions.
Best Hotels in Copenhagen
Copenhagen is a charming city with some amazing luxury hotels and boutique style properties. Here are a few that I love and would recommend!
Hotel Sanders
Hotel Sanders is the best of the best hotels in Copenhagen. It is a boutique style, 5-star hotel in the heart of historic Copenhagen. It is right around the corner from Nyhavn, but tucked away enough that it feels like you are in a more intimate neighborhood away from the tourist crowds.
If you want to know what hygge feels like, step into the inviting living room of Hotel Sanders. It’s adorned with comfortable couch seating, candles, florals, and a warm glow from the dim lighting.
The rooms are decorated with beautiful furniture from local Danish makers that is classic and elegant.
The hotel also has great dining spaces. Their sidewalk seating is like a French bistro where you can sip coffee as the city comes to life. Later, have drinks in their Tata Cocktail Lounge or the rooftop terrace!
You will especially want to stay here for a couples trip – it feels utterly romantic! My husband and I return to this hotel with every visit to Denmark.
Villa Copenhagen
I stayed at Villa Copenhagen on my last vacation to Copenhagen after a flight cancellation left us needing an extra night unexpectedly. Thankfully, I already followed them on Instagram and knew to give them a call first! I am so glad we did, as this new hotel is amazing!
It is located in Vesterbro, close the city center, right next to the train station and Tivoli Gardens. Housed in a former post office dating back to 1912, the property was renovated with a new, modern design.
The entry way is through an atrium with a clear roof so you can see the sunlight come in. The lobby is more of a restaurant & bar filled with seating and lounge areas. Right past there, you will find the check in counter and hallway to the rooms.
The rooms are super trendy with beautiful wood flooring, big windows, and fun artwork. The beds are super comfortable and the bathroom is very efficient. Our favorite part was the shampoo and soap made by a local company. It’s pine scented and my husband immediately bought some when we returned home.
Lastly, the rooftop pool overlooks the city and is the perfect spot for a morning swim or to relax with cocktails on a warm summer day. The fitness center is located by the pool and is well equipped for its size.
Manon Les Suites
Manon Les Suites is definitely on my list to check out next time. The hotel features 87 suites with an indoor pool that gives off major jungle vibes. It feels like you are in Bali or Tulum – they actually use the phrase “a little slice of Bali in the heart of Copenhagen”. It is an adults only hotel so will be the perfect relaxing and stress-free environment for a vacation.
In addition to the pool, they have a rooftop, restaurant, sauna and all the amenities you would expect from a 5 star property.
The brand puts a major emphasis on sustainability from the way they source food to housekeeping. They have the Golden Ø-label in Denmark for 90-10% organic food and drink with their average around 99%. They measure food waste and send any that they do have to a company that turns it into bio-fuel. If interested, you can read their full plan and commitment to our environment here.

You could spend endless days enjoying Copenhagen. At minimum for a relaxing vacation, I think 4-5 nights is enough. This will allow plenty of time to see all of the major sights and take it slow for your first visit. However, if you are stopping through and it is not the priority of your trip, 2 days is enough to get a taste.
Copenhagen is a big city with room for any and all budgets. You can find affordable hotels and 5-star luxury hotels mixed throughout the city. The same goes for dining – grab an inexpensive meal at Reffen, the outdoor food hall, or enjoy a Michelin star experience.
Copenhagen does not have uber and lyft. They do have DanTaxi which is great! The drivers are always so friendly and the cars are clean. I would download the app in advance, but the hotels can always schedule for you. We had the hotel schedule one for us at 6am and he was there waiting so it is super reliable.
