Maritime warehouse redoubt
This 18th-century grain warehouse is an active waterfront hub, with harbor boats drifting right alongside the terrace.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A 1787 grain warehouse built with hand-hewn Pomeranian pine beams and brick arches.
Notable
Custom Space Copenhagen furnishings set against raw pine trusses and arched brick openings.
What they say
Also in AFAR.
Inside, the hotel feels quintessentially Scandinavian, with exposed beams and a blue-green color palette.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Amalienborg Palace sits to the north and Nyhavn canal to the south, with the Opera House across the water.
The rooms
Original Pomeranian pine beams and brick arches frame views of the harbor or the historic city rooftops.
The outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool runs along the harbor quay, lined with striped daybeds facing the water.
The spa and gym
A sixth-floor suite houses a Finnish sauna and steam room, and the gym is set among historic timber posts.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant aye aye
Dishes cooked over open fire draw on Mediterranean flavors and Nordic ingredients right along the harborfront.
At the table
SIR Cocktailbar rolls out a bespoke martini trolley under brick arches, and the quay terrace seats guests along the water.
How it began
Royal engineer Ernst Peymann designed two grain warehouses here in 1787, later linked into one continuous waterfront landmark.
