The best hotels in Copenhagen for 2026

Large, blocky and wrapped in sage green, 1 Hotel Copenhagen is, frankly, unimpressive from the street outside. But any doubts about the place evaporate the moment you push through its revolving doors. This stay flung its doors open in August 2025 and is the brand’s second European outpost (after London). The place fits the city like a glove – it’s hard to imagine somewhere better suited to 1 Hotel’s simple glamour, laid-back luxury and eco-conscious ethos than the Danish capital.

You can also add their famous, fully organic signature breakfast buffet to your stay.

With their row of baby pink vintage bikes stationed by the entrance, it’s clear that the Grand Joanne is all about having fun with design. Their powdery interiors are a blend of high style and vintage glamour, making it very Instagrammable but not in a cringe way. What’s also pretty cool here is that each of the 162 rooms is uniquely designed to avoid the sometimes generic or sterile feel of your bog-standard stay. Aside from jazzy rooms, a real highlight of staying here is cracking open a bottle to enjoy the panoramas on the rooftop terrace, finding zen at the on-site yoga studio and, of course, the delectable Italian dishes on offer at the on-site restaurant. Buon appetito!
