Constructed in 1912, this building served as the Danish Post and Telegraph Office. Despite its neo-Baroque facade, Villa Copenhagen is thoroughly modern and promotes a sociable, homely vibe. On-trend with its sleek and chic Scandi design, it has 390 rooms, a brasserie (serving a fusion of organic local European and North African cuisine), a wine bar and a convivial courtyard. Climb to the rooftop terrace where you’ll find a 25-metre eco-heated outdoor pool, gym, sauna and hidden herb garden. The hotel is located next to Central Station and opposite Tivoli Gardens, just 15 minutes from the airport. Look out for its private art collection – arguably the finest in the city.

Now an expansive spa retreat and medical centre, this chic hotel was once a sanitorium used by Danish royalty. These days guests can take advantage of a variety of holistic services including acupuncture, reflexology, dentistry, psychiatry and physiotherapy. A huge pool and thermal suite aid relaxation in this dreamily peaceful spot. However, for those seeking activity, there are wellness talks, cookery workshops, live concerts and the opportunity to take the icy but glittering waters of the Oresund from the beach opposite. Continuing the healthy living theme, Kurhotel Skodsborg’s three restaurants provide critically acclaimed, delicious and nutritious fresh gourmet meals.

This hotel is centrally located in the Latin Quarter and despite its 5* rating, its luxury is beautifully laid-back and welcoming.
