Hotel Alexandra, Copenhagen
Smack dab in the center of Copenhagen, Hotel Alexandra is an absolute paradise for anyone obsessed with Scandinavian design. Operating since 1910 inside a grand neoclassical building that originally housed fashionable apartments, the property serves as a living, breathing museum. It is actually the only boutique hotel in the capital dedicated entirely to mid-century Danish design, holding one of the largest private vintage furniture collections in the world.
The hotel’s modern identity was shaped by general manager Jeppe Mühlhausen, a former art exhibition curator who spent years traveling the globe to source authentic pieces from the 1940s through the 1970s. Step into the lobby and you are instantly inside a retro time capsule, surrounded by iconic pieces like Hans Wegner’s Papa Bear chair and Jørgen Høvelskov’s Harp chair. Guests are encouraged to pull up a seat, pick out a vintage record to spin on the turntable, and flip through the hotel’s library of art books while enjoying a complimentary glass of evening wine.
Each of the 61 rooms is completely unique, but the crown jewels of the property are the dedicated designer suites. You can book rooms styled specifically as tributes to legendary Danish architects, featuring authentic masterworks—like the psychadelic pink Verner Panton lounge, or the Arne Jacobsen room, which features his famous Egg, Swan, and Ant chairs. Even the room keys add to the vintage charm, still using the heavy, original brass keychains from the early 1900s.
The location on H.C. Andersens Boulevard puts the best of the city right at your doorstep. You are just a three-minute stroll from the Rådhuspladsen metro station and the historic City Hall Square. The enchanting, 19th-century Tivoli Gardens amusement park sits practically around the corner, and the famous Strøget shopping street is easily accessible on foot, making it the perfect design-centric base for exploring Copenhagen.
Expert reviews
“The furniture of Danish design deities such as Arne Jacobsen, Ole Wanscher and Kaare Klint graces the interiors of the crisp, refined yet homey Alexandra. Rooms are effortlessly cool, each decked out in a mix of mid-century Danish pieces.”
“This good-value central hotel is kitted out from top to toe with vintage furniture from the 1950s and ’60s – making it not just a friendly, convenient place to stay but also a masterclass in Danish design. You might not know your Juhl from your Jacobsen when you arrive, but you probably will by the time you leave.”

great hospitality, staff at the reception desk were so helpful for recommendations, excellent design and close to some great landmarks
we had booked to stay in a double bed room, our bed was two twin beds together with nothing to secure them so i fell through the middle of the bed in the night a few times

The hotel was in the perfect spot to access many of the attractions, as well as places to eat. The staff were polite and helpful.
I won't say there was anything I didn't like but one of the night we could here noise coming from the room above. A little upsetting but I guess these things do happen!

We were a family traveling together and everyone was very happy with the experience in Hotel Alexandra
The individual style of the rooms and reception areas. Location was perfect for exploring the city.

Perfect location
The location of the hotel was excellent, and the wide range of Danish mid-century furniture and design on display throughout the hotel was a wonderful detail. The staff were very kind and we enjoyed spending time in the lobby.
Due to the central location, there was some noise at night when we slept with the windows open.

Great 1960s vibe, the room, furniture, decor. The staff were very nice. The hotel is good value for central Copenhagen. And there is a great breakfast next door, but it's pricey...

Perfect hotel for your wedding night!
We picked Hotel Alexandra due to its proximity to the Copenhagen City Hall where we got married. The room was beautiful, clean and had all the amenities that we needed for our big day (big mirror, hair dryer, iron and board, etc). The staff was super welcoming and supportive! The whole experience exceeded our expectations :)

Staff was extraordinarily friendly and helpful, breakfast option at the cafe next door is very good, location is amazing really close to the main station, the closest metro station is basically accross the street, lots of more affordable food options close by
It is a trade off for staying at a 50s/60s/70s design hotel, that some modern ameneties like sockets next to the bed is missing. In my room there were a lot of ambient lighting fixtures that locken really pretty but weren't powerful enough to light the room in wintery february

Great location. 10 minute walk from Copenhagen Central Station. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby. Bed was very comfortable
Room was small but set up in an efficient manner

Copenhagen in the snow for a few days was wonderful
Location close to the main railway station and too most of the attractions. Property was clean and staff were superbly helpful. Breakfast was to order from a reasonable menu. Room was spacious and comfortable.
I don’t think I would change anything

Stafff we're amazing so friendly Location is very perfect Breakfast was amazing
2 single beds pushed together instead of a double bed was annoying but that's the only negative

Perfect hotel for a city break, very central, clean and beautiful. Just take earplugs!
Beautiful and niche hotel fully decorated in 1960/1970 original danish furniture. Staff were lovey and welcoming
The double room was very cosy, and the walls were quite thin meaning we heard when our neighbours fancied a bit of 6am TV on the Sunday morning!

Too pricey for an outdated hotel
The staff was friendly and helped us with switching rooms. Service oriented. Location is perfect.
For the amount of price you pay for this hotel, it definitely does not justify it. The rooms are outdated. It’s not even proper coffee at the rooms. We had to switch rooms two times as the room didn’t have enough light/lamp.

Charming hotel in good location
Stylish and furnished with attention to detail. Had an issue with the pipes in my bathroom and the reception staff was just super lovely and had maintenance deal with it right away.
Room was a bit small, but totally okay for one person with just carry-on. Bathroom was a bit dated.

Very helpful staff who were always available. Sizeable room in an excellent location
No shower door means bathroom gets fairly wet. Room could get a bit hot but there didn't seem to be any mechanism for controlling temperature

The location was in the middle of attractions and near to Tivoli gardens

Superb location
Great location for the CP Half Marathon and location to view the city
The room is in a little need of TLC, but still a great price

Pleasant
The room was large, with a huge bay window containing a 2 seater sofa. The Finn Juhl furniture in the room was both stylish and comfortable. The bathroom was modern, and having a double sink was great. Double glazing meant we did not hear the 6 lanes of traffic on HC Andersen boulevard outside. Complimentary wine in the evening was much appreciated.
The room was a little chilly and we needed to turn the radiator up to its maximum setting. Overnight the room was too hot, but turning down the heating meant it was too cold in the morning. The carpet and curtains were low quality, but did the job.

I may choose to stay here again, whenever I visit next
Breakfast was a pleasant surprise - delicious and healthy. The room was cozy and clean. All staff were friendly and helpful. Location is excellent!
I wish I could have got the room a bit early after my overnight flight, but I wouldn't blame the hotel much for it

Very good, easy reach of the Christmas markets, helpful staff, five minute walk to the beautiful Tivoli gardens Christma
Interesting, in the style of the 5os /60s simple, practical. Lovely restaurant to the side for breakfast or brunch.

Perfect, central base for exploring Copenhagen
Fabulous location, clean, comfortable and design-oriented rooms, friendly staff and daily free wine hour!
A little noisy at night due to proximity to bars - sadly only discovered the free ear plugs as we were packing up!

Value for money in a classic hotel, nice staff and efficient check in
Very nice old school hotel with super nice staff and value for money.

Really nice, would recommend !
Mid century style in lobby and room… breakfast is amazing, location very convenient, staff were brilliant !
a little noisy as we were in room facing side street and could here the dance club down the street… but we are in a city centre so noise is expected! The bedroom was perfect, however the ensuite could do with a bit of refurb as a little tired looking.
