Hotel Ottilia - By Brøchner Hotels

"Best Copenhagen hotel for: connoisseurs of beer and design A part of Copenhagen’s newly developing Carlsberg City District, Hotel Ottilia (named after Ottilia Marie Jacobsen, the Scottish-born wife of brewer Carl Jacobsen) takes over a section of the red-brick former Carlsberg brewery site, pairing the original architecture and listed features of this heritage structure with modern Scandi design. In line with the social concept at each Brochner Hotel, the property’s high-ceilinged reception area, featuring the striking Ottilia’s Spine light installation, also acts as a lobby bar serving coffee, snacks, and drinks throughout the day and hosting complimentary wine and nightcap hours designed to bring people together each evening. This bar leads through to the voluminous living room now occupying the former Dipylon Hall in which white-painted brick walls and original features of the brewery, including the original clockwork, are complemented with modern Scandi furnishings and an inviting fireplace. The hotel’s 155 industrial chic guest rooms, some featuring distinctive circular windows with leather window seats, span the floors above, with the highest-end suites then occupying the site’s original round tower. These floors are topped with the hotel’s restaurant Tramonto Rooftop serving Italian dishes such as pizza in a light-filled space with 360-degree views. An outdoor terrace featuring a small hops garden provides more seating in the warmer months—these hops are used in the creation of the hotel’s own golden pilsner.

"Opened in January in buildings formerly part of Copenhagen’s Carlsberg brewery, Hotel Ottilia adapts the space’s industrial design to calming effect. One example: Cushioned half-moon couches inside the deep sills of the hotel’s 64 circular windows create hygge-nourishing nooks for reading, snoozing, or simply zoning out. Guests can fuel up on a mostly organic breakfast buffet and even breathe easier, knowing Ottilia uses no harsh chemical cleaners." - Lindsay Lambert Day

"Hotel Ottilia in Copenhagen has introduced self-disinfecting technology in its rooms through a partnership with ACT.Global. The technology, called CleanCoat, uses a Teflon-like coating to break down harmful microbes and purify the air. This innovation aims to reduce labor for housekeeping staff and minimize the use of harsh chemicals, making the rooms practically immune to germs and odors."
