This upscale hotel is a former department store within walking distance to major attractions like the Tivoli Gardens and Christiansborg Palace in the heart of Copenhagen’s Old Town. Despite its large size and upscale aesthetic, the hotel’s relaxed foyer and charming outdoor courtyard keep the property feeling approachable and laid-back. The 268 guest rooms are achingly hip and include local snacks in the minibars. Three snazzy dining/bar options serve exceptional food (breakfast isn’t included with rates). The hotel has undergone extensive renovations as of 2017, but some areas reflect lingering issues like slow bathroom drainage and a gym that has yet to open as of fall 2017. For lower rates, the Comfort Hotel Vesterbro offers trendy decor in a hip neighborhood, plus free breakfast.
