Copenhagen, with its minimalist Scandinavian charm, bustling streets, and impeccable sense of design, is a city that never fails to impress. It’s a place where history and modernity effortlessly blend, and every corner seems to offer a new experience. I recently spent a few days exploring this wonderful city, and while the attractions like Tivoli Gardens and Nyhavn were fantastic, it was the hotels that truly elevated my trip. I discovered three stunning places to stay that offer distinct experiences—each with its own flair, perfect for anyone who’s looking for something a bit more memorable. Here’s a closer look at the ones I visited.

1. The Skt. Petri – An Urban Oasis with a Modern Twist

Location: Krystalgade 22, 1172 København K
Price: Starts around 1,400 DKK ($200) per night
Booking Platform: Direct via the hotel’s website or Booking.com

If you’re someone who loves sleek, stylish design paired with exceptional service, then The Skt. Petri is a must-visit. The moment you step into the lobby, you’re greeted with a stunning modern design that feels like a blend of an art gallery and an upscale boutique. I couldn’t help but stop and admire the high ceilings, the soft color palette, and the elegant furniture.

What makes The Skt. Petri unique?
The hotel’s location is perfect for exploring the heart of Copenhagen. It’s situated in the Latin Quarter, which means you’re just a short walk away from the beautiful St. Petri Church, vibrant shopping streets, and even the gorgeous Rosenborg Castle. But the real star of The Skt. Petri isn’t just the location; it’s the atmosphere.

The rooms are spacious and light, with minimalist Scandinavian touches—think wooden floors, clean lines, and huge windows that let in tons of natural light. There’s something incredibly calming about the design here. You don’t feel overwhelmed or crowded by decor. It’s all about clean elegance.

During my stay, I opted for the Superior Room, which had a large king-size bed, a cozy sitting area by the window, and even a mini-bar stocked with local Danish delights like artisanal snacks and craft beers. The bathroom was another highlight—luxurious, with a huge rain shower and high-end toiletries.

One of the standout features of The Skt. Petri is its rooftop bar, Petri Bar. Located on the 7th floor, it offers panoramic views of the city. I spent a few evenings there, enjoying the delicious cocktails while watching the sunset over Copenhagen’s rooftops. It’s the perfect spot to relax after a day of sightseeing.

Another thing that I really appreciated was the attentive service. The staff is always available and eager to make your stay as comfortable as possible, offering great recommendations for nearby restaurants and attractions. If you’re in the mood to explore the city, I highly recommend the hotel’s bikes, which are available for guests. Biking around Copenhagen is such a quintessential experience, and it’s a fun way to see the city like a local.

2. Hotel SP34 – A Cozy Boutique Stay

Location: Sankt Peders Stræde 34, 1453 København K
Price: Around 1,000 DKK ($140) per night
Booking Platform: Available on Hotels.com or the hotel’s official site

If you’re someone who appreciates boutique hotels with a personal touch, Hotel SP34 should be on your radar. Nestled in the trendy Vesterbro district, it offers a more intimate experience that still feels luxurious and modern. From the minute you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The lobby is cozy with exposed brick walls, soft lighting, and comfy seating areas where you can relax after a day of exploring.

Why Hotel SP34?
The hotel is all about giving you that “home away from home” feeling, while still offering high-end amenities. The rooms are stylish, featuring rich wooden floors, neutral tones, and soft, contemporary furniture. It’s a great mix of comfort and style, with little touches that make the stay feel special—like the complimentary coffee and Danish pastries available in the lobby throughout the day.

During my stay, I was lucky enough to snag one of the Boutique Rooms, which was spacious, with a huge bed and soft, luxurious linens. There was a small desk and plenty of space to unwind, and the bathroom felt like a mini spa with heated floors and a rain shower. It was the ideal place to relax after walking around Copenhagen’s charming streets.

Another thing I loved about Hotel SP34 is the breakfast spread. They offer an incredible breakfast with local Danish delights, from fresh pastries to local cheeses and meats. You can even enjoy breakfast on the hotel’s terrace during warmer months, which gives you a real taste of local life.

The hotel also has a great cocktail bar, which is perfect for a nightcap after dinner. The staff was always friendly and willing to share some of their favorite spots in the neighborhood—making me feel like I was getting insider knowledge.

Hotel SP34 isn’t just about the place—it’s about the vibe. The hotel regularly hosts events like wine tastings or small live music performances, which give you a chance to mingle with locals or other travelers. It’s a small touch, but one that makes your experience feel a little more personal.

3. 1 Hotel Copenhagen – A Sustainable Paradise

Location: H. C. Andersens Boulevard 50, 1553 København V

Situated in the city’s old industrial district, this eco-friendly hotel brings luxury and sustainability together in a way I’ve never seen before. The hotel’s design is both modern and earthy, with an emphasis on using local, recycled materials throughout the space.

I stayed in a Deluxe Room, which was full of natural light and featured warm wooden tones, organic cotton linens, and eco-friendly toiletries. The space felt like a peaceful retreat, perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing.

What makes this place even more special is their commitment to local, organic food. The Fieldhouse, the hotel’s restaurant, offers a menu full of sustainable options, most of which are sourced from local farms and fishermen. I had the most delicious dinner there, with fresh fish and locally grown vegetables. It was a true taste of Copenhagen’s commitment to sustainability.

Beyond the hotel itself, 1 Hotel Copenhagen’s location makes it easy to access some of the city’s main attractions. It’s close to the Copenhagen Central Station, and it’s only a short bike ride to places like the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Vesterbro, and Tivoli Gardens.
