Kanalhuset, Copenhagen
More photosLocated 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.

Steel House Hostel, Copenhagen
On Copenhagen’s trendy Vesterbro district, Steel House Hostel completely reimagines the traditional backpacker experience. The building has a fascinating blue-collar history, serving for decades as the industrial headquarters for the Danish Union of Metalworkers. When it reopened as a luxury hostel, the creators leaned heavily into its past, preserving that urban rawness to craft a sleek, New York-inspired "industrial chic" aesthetic filled with raw concrete and dark metal accents.
Telegraph“The distinctive steel-clad building that was once home to the Danish Union of Metalworkers has now been transformed into a cool urban hostel, with smart dorms (or small private rooms), plenty of communal space for meeting fellow travellers and an impressive range of facilities.”
Hotel Sanders, Copenhagen
On a quiet, cobblestone street in Copenhagen's historic center, Hotel Sanders is a gorgeous boutique hotel built inside a pair of converted 1869 townhouses. The property is owned by Alexander Kølpin, a former world-class Danish ballet dancer who envisioned the hotel as a living theater production where the guests are the main characters. To bring this vision to life, he collaborated with design studio Lind + Almond, creating an aesthetic that skips temporary trends in favor of mid-century Scandinavian design blended with eccentric English touches.
CN Traveler + 3 more“It combines a bit of Danish mid-century modern, a bit of colonial British (wickerwork here and there, plus palms in pots), and a classic French bistro-style restaurant in a way that achieves the Holy Grail of hotel design.”

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.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“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.”
Hotel SP34, Copenhagen
In Copenhagen's bohemian Latin Quarter, Hotel SP34 is a boutique design lover's dream that perfectly captures effortless Danish cool. The hotel is creatively stitched together from three separate, historic townhouses. To keep the building from sticking out like a sore thumb in the colorful neighborhood, Danish architect and designer Morten Hedegaard painted the exterior facades in three distinct, subtle shades of blue to seamlessly blend in with the surrounding historic streetscape.
New York Times + 2 more“A perennial favorite of design-conscious travelers, Hotel SP34 offers 118 rooms ranging from snug singles to spacious suites in a central Latin Quarter location. There’s also a private movie theater, rooftop terrace, and three dining locations, including a greenhouse-themed Nordic bistro.”
