Best Historical Hotels in Indre By

Once a transformer station set in the vibrant centre of Copenhagen, The Socialist – A Tribute Portfolio Hotel – has been transformed into a design boutique hotel comprising 31 rooms and suites. Each room is bright with a contemporary style and offer courtyard or city views and the Penthouse Suite lays claim to its own balcony. The hotel’s restaurants and bar spaces are a hub of diverse activity with a menu to match; with breakfast, lunch, dinner, late snack and cocktails, served throughout the day, and for something more special an experimental tasting menu has been perfectly designed by head chef formerly of Noma and Maze (London). This new hotel is the perfect base from which to explore the rich and diverse offering Copenhagen presents to its guests.

One of the newest luxury hotels in Copenhagen, the 5* Nobis is centrally located and occupies an historic building from 1903 which used to be the Royal Danish Academy of Music. Standing next to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek art museum, the hotel’s restored period features include a grand marble staircase and ornamental mouldings, now matched with modern light fittings, stark concrete and black leather. Rooms are stylish and tasteful and there’s a basement gym and spa with a cold water plunge pool. The restaurant serves New Nordic cuisine very well.

A beautiful 4* hotel in a central location on the waterfront, 71 Nyhavn occupies two converted warehouses dating to the 1800s. Rustic with big Pomeranian Pine beams but contemporary with Danish design and an art collection, there’s no shortage of character in the public spaces or the big, bright airy rooms. Guest facilities include a “boutique” and free tea and coffee in the lobby each afternoon. Dining is the SEA by Kiin Kiin restaurant which offers South Asian cuisine and a bar with craft beers and trendy gins.
