Nestled in a grand former post office, this stylish hotel features stunning rooms, a rooftop pool, and an impressive restaurant, all steps from Tivoli Gardens.
"Best Copenhagen hotel for: modern opulence Centrally located, right by Copenhagen Central Station and Tivoli Gardens, this 2020-opened modern take on the grand hotel brings new life to the city’s former Central Post and Telegraph Head Office, which dates back to 1912. In its new era as one of the city’s most coveted places to stay, this sprawling heritage landmark houses a collection of buzzy social spaces alongside four levels of sprawling rooms, all designed to feel like a grand Copenhagen apartment, distinguished by their high ceilings, herringbone floors, gold accents, and tall windows. The Shamballa Suite focuses on providing a place of peace and tranquillity and the Earth Suite showcases innovative sustainability solutions in space using only recycled materials. The pinnacle of accommodation options is the Universal Penthouse Suite spanning two floors linked by a spiral staircase. On entering the hotel, the capacious Courtyard Bar makes quite the impression with its sophisticated interiors taking cues from Nordic simplicity and showstopper glass canopy. This social enclave—also featuring full-size trees—leads through to the cozy Kontrast brasserie focusing on locally produced and sustainable ingredients, and the sophisticated T37 wine and cocktail bar integrating features of the old post office. A local and seasonal breakfast is served in the former sorting room and freshly baked bread and pastries come from the onsite RUG bakery. A highlight for guests is the 25m open-air, sustainably-heated rooftop pool that’s only accessible to people staying here.

"For a fitting wrap to your time in Copenhagen, end your night with a drink in the Courtyard Bar at Michelin-recommended hotel Villa Copenhagen.

Open to overnight guests and visitors until late, the bar boasts an impressive wine list, along with Danish draughts, a comprehensive selection of gins and wonderful handcrafted cocktails and mocktails." - The MICHELIN Guide Nordic Editorial Team
"Since opening its doors in 2020, Villa Copenhagen has made a favorable impression among travel industry insiders. Rooms are indeed more spacious than most in the city. As for the other highlights? “I highly recommend trying the pastries at their on-site bakery and the fish at the brasserie, which uses only locally-sourced ingredients,” India adds. “And I love starting my mornings doing yoga in the fitness room, and occasionally wrapping up the day with a session in the sauna." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Located in the old Central Post and Telegraph head office and with a smorgasbord of facilities that cater to its guests and the general city, Villa is as good a spot to meet for brunch or a cocktail as it is to spend a holiday. It’s extremely central – you can actually see Tivoli’s rollercoasters from some rooms – and has a popular heated roof pool that draws in Copenhagen’s fashionable crowd. The rooms are fairly spacious and decorated with plenty of Scandinavian luxury. Book your stay here. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Denmark may be the smallest of Northern Europe’s Scandinavian countries, but it’s big on gourmet food, culture, design, and wellness."
