Inside you’ll find what might be the region’s most warm, organic-feeling luxury hotel; the signature 1 Hotels aesthetic overlaps significantly with the Danish concept of hygge.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The Latin Quarter's cobblestone lanes sit just outside, putting the 17th-century Round Tower and Torvehallerne food market a short walk away.
The rooms
Living plants and pale oak furnish the rooms, and bedside taps supply filtered drinking water in recycled glass carafes.
The spa
Botanical treatment rooms focus on organic plant-based rituals, and the space includes a sauna and steam room.
The movement studio
Quartz singing bowls and cork yoga blocks furnish the bright movement studio for daily sessions.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
PÆRE
Marble tables and curved timber booths fill the dining room for botanical cocktails and Nordic sharing plates.
At the table
At Fjora, Chef Chantelle Nicholson cooks veg-forward Nordic dishes that spill into a landscaped courtyard garden.
How it began
Architect Vilhelm Lauritzen designed the 1933 modernist building, which served as the Daells Varehus department store before becoming a hotel.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
