Copenhagen's grand hotel since 1755, occupying the finest address on Kongens Nytorv with the authority of a building that has watched the city evolve for nearly three centuries. The recent renovation preserved the neoclassical grandeur while adding a rooftop pool and spa that offer views across the copper spires and canal network. The rooms are furnished with the kind of restrained Danish elegance that makes maximalism feel like an error of judgement. Service operates at the level where requests are anticipated rather than made, and the ground-floor restaurant maintains a standard befitting the address.

Insider Intel
Book a canal-view room if budget allows. The rooftop pool is exceptional. Afternoon tea in the lobby is a proper Copenhagen tradition. The bar is worth a visit even if not staying.
Year-round. Christmas season when the Kongens Nytorv tree and Hotel d'Angleterre facade lights create the most Copenhagen image imaginable.
The most expensive hotel in Denmark and worth the consideration. Kongens Nytorv location puts you at the intersection of Nyhavn, Strøget, and the Royal Theatre. The history is genuine — Hans Christian Andersen stayed here. Dress appropriately for the lobby.
