All you need to know
Located on the historic Christianshavn island, complete with its heritage-listed buildings and cobbled lanes, Kanalhuset is a gem nestled by the Christianshavn Canal. The views of the canal and towering masts set the scene from our location at the heart of Copenhagen.
A mere 300 meters from the Christianshavn metro station, and just a bridge away from the Royal Theatre, Nyhavn, Amalienborg Castle, and the primary shopping avenue, Strøget.
The hotel, established in 1754, now houses 12 unique boutique hotel rooms, meeting spaces of various sizes, 14 hotel apartments, a bar, and a restaurant where we serve the evening’s meal daily at 7pm in Spisestuen.
Every element within Kanalhuset has been meticulously chosen and arranged by EEN. This includes furniture, silverware, artworks, color combinations, and fabrics. All pieces of furniture have been individually selected, reupholstered attentively, and treated to enhance their natural patina and overall contribution to the space.
Each room has its unique charm and character. Every room is equipped with a private bathroom, a double bed, and wifi access.

Stunning hotel, tasty food, kind staff
Beautiful decor (think cool Danish design), brilliant and kind staff, comfy beds. Highly recommend the apartment!
A bit of a hike (30 minute walk) to other sites in the city, but with Christmas markets on, walking was a joy!

Absolutely Amazing
A gorgeous hotel that looked even better than the pictures. The staff were friendly and the breakfast was delicious. I wish we tried the group dinner but we ran out of time!

Divine!
The apartment was absolutely gorgeous. We are big fans of quality MCM furniture, so this was heaven.
Hard to figure out the entrance; instructions were vague and we just happened to encounter someone leaving who could help us.

An amazing stay in CPH
Kanalhuset was a great stay. It’s located super centrally, the staff are lovely and the concept is just so cool and Danish. It felt really local and cozy and like we were invited into someone’s home. The rooms are also large and spacious, making it a great place to chill after a long day (or Copenhagen night).
The bathrooms could have been a bit better, but really, that was it.

A great place to stay and a highlight of our holiday - so Higgie.
We had self catering in the apartment. Super furniture and extremely comfortable, unique. Wonderful little touches, glass ornaments and plants . Wonderful views onto the canal Amdahl quiet st night. Public area , in the bar/ restaurant cosy, relaxed and so different form the usual hotel/ apartment.,. Food brilliant, all organic and home made. Staff super friendly and helpful
The apartment needed some additional utensils for cooking and a few more toiletries. Especially and these could be not individual bottles( very uneconomic and uneco). Would have liked to have tried the dinner at night but community dining not for us so didn’t get chance.

Charming and convenient
This hotel is a small boutique place located closely to the center/downtown of Copenhagen. It is absolutely charming and conveniently located. The staff is wonderful and helpful.
It is a little pricey but well worth the budget. So cute!
