Copenhagen Island

If you love chic contemporary design, this waterfront stay is for you. Designed by renowned Danish architect Kim Utzon, it’s flooded with natural light throughout. Location-wise, there are trains, buses and water buses that all stop nearby, while the Meatpacking District is just a short walk across the bridge. You can also hire a bike if you really want to do things like a local.

The hotel’s restaurant, The Harbour, is aptly named – the views of Copenhagen Harbour through its enormous windows is simply stunning. A hearty breakfast is served here, with a selection of hot and cold delicacies, while lunch and dinner offers an à la carte menu of Danish classics given a modern twist. Looking to keep fit during your break? Check out the fully-equipped fitness centre, and make sure you visit the sauna afterwards.

As with the rest of the hotel, the rooms have a clean, modern design, with bespoke fixtures and fittings. They’re fully soundproofed too, so you’re guaranteed a good night’s sleep. Upgrade to a room with a harbour view if you want to make the most of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
