    Find Luxury Accommodations in Copenhagen, Denmark

  1. Step 1

    To book accommodations, contact Visitcopenhagen.com at 011 (+45) 70 22 24 42 or visit their Web site directly (see Resources, below). You can choose a boutique hotel for modern luxury. Copenhagen's designer hotels feature the most contemporary furniture, art and style found in hotels worldwide.

  2. Step 2

    Look toward the older, traditional hotels for luxury accommodations and restaurants with grand architecture and decorating.

  3. Step 3

    Consider staying in Copenhagen's Latin Quarter, which is located close to shopping areas and most tourist attractions. There is a range of luxury accommodations, both old and new, in this area.

  4. Step 4

    Find accommodations near the Stroget, so the walk home is easy once the dancing is done. People dance in the streets until the wee hours here on summer weekends, celebrating the season with outdoor parties.

  5. Step 5

    Look for bed and breakfasts and apartment rentals recommended by design and furniture shops. While this seems odd, many of Copenhagen's top designers have worked on luxury hotel and apartment projects throughout the city, and they can often point you toward the most exclusive luxury accommodations.

  6. Explore Copenhagen, Denmark

  7. Step 1

    Check out the Egg, a modern chair signed by famous guests at the Hilton Copenhagen Airport, which also houses Copenhagen's largest hotel rooms and modern furniture throughout. Located next to the airport, the hotel is an attraction in itself, even if you don't chose to stay there.

  8. Step 2

    Walk just about anywhere in the city center, which seems designed for strolling. Be sure to visit Strøget, the longest and oldest pedestrian-only street in Europe.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't miss Tivoli Gardens, which is Denmark's most famous attraction.
  • Even though Denmark is a member of the European Union, the official currency is the Danish Krone, not the Euro.
  • Plan to visit in April or May for the perfect weather for exploring Copenhagen. Later summer months are popular, but the weather may be too hot to go sightseeing.
  • Pack a pocket translator to help you translate key Danish phrases. While most people in Denmark speak a bit of English, they will appreciate your effort to learn the local language.
  • If you're planning an extended trip, determine whether you will need a visa. If you do, you must contact the Danish consulate well before you intend to leave. Visas can take several weeks to process.
