Character and identity
Set in the heart of Norreport inside a 1928 Wilhelm Lauritzen department store (later the Skt. Petri hotel), this 282-room property is the brand's first Nordic outpost and a fluent translation of hygge into its signature biophilic register. Expect reclaimed wood, living walls, nubby cream textiles, eelgrass acoustic panels and roughly 1,500 plants throughout. The sweeping timber staircase opens into a light-flooded atrium lobby (Pære lounge by night, cafe by day), and Fjora, the main restaurant, is helmed by Green Michelin-starred Chantelle Nicholson, who runs a veg-forward, low-waste menu. A Bamford spa is forthcoming.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and solo travellers who want a central Copenhagen base with convivial common rooms, sustainable credentials worn lightly, and rooms that genuinely feel like a pied-a-terre. Americans already loyal to the brand will feel at home; food-curious guests will appreciate Nicholson's cooking and the bakery-cafe at Pære.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers wanting a fully finished product should wait, the spa is not yet open and staff are still finding their rhythm. Families seeking dedicated kids' programming won't find it here, and anyone after grand Neoclassical glamour or a quiet residential retreat will be happier in a different register.
Bottom line
The decisive draw is location paired with atmosphere: a Norreport address that puts Torvehallerne, Rosenborg, HAY House and Tivoli within easy reach, wrapped in the warmest, most touchable common spaces in the city. Book a suite with a balcony (the Hazel Terrace, at 990 sq ft, is the benchmark) and come once the spa opens to get the full programme.
