What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Flying in the face of Copenhagen stereotypes, the Andersen Boutique Hotel deals lightly in export-grade Scandinaviana. Here, fun comes before function, with not a pale wooden chair in sight.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
In buzzing Vesterbro, quiet Helgolandsgade sits moments from Halmtorvet square, Istedgade boutiques, and dining across the nearby Meatpacking District.
The rooms
Boldly patterned fabrics dress guest rooms with heated bathroom floors, sound-insulated windows, and whimsical Danish storytelling themes.
The gym
A compact fitness room has a rowing machine, exercise bike, treadmill, and free weights for daily workouts.
At the table
The morning buffet spreads out Danish cheeses, pastries, and over ten types of bread in the colorful dining area.
How it began
A family-run sister property to the historic Absalon Hotel, this five-story building was transformed into a design-forward boutique retreat in 2012.
