The house
Best WesternFunctionalist railway waystation
This 1935 railway hotel was sculpted like a steam locomotive to serve travelers stepping directly off the trains.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
A protected 1935 functionalist landmark with Denmark's first revolving door at the entrance.
Notable
Ole Falkentorp sculpted the slender building to echo the profile of a steam locomotive.
Notable
Decades of continuous lodging as the original railway station hotel beside Banegårdspladsen.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Copenhagen Central Station sits right next door, and the gates of Tivoli Gardens are just across the plaza.
The rooms
Rooms keep their compact original proportions, and upper floors have private balconies looking toward Tivoli Gardens.
Dogs stay too.
Lobby Lounge & Bar
Velvet stools line the stainless steel counter, where drinks and all-day coffee are served in the lounge.
At the table
Mornings start with an organic Nordic buffet of local breads, cheeses, and charcuterie among dark wood tables.
How it began
The Danish State Railways commissioned the slender structure on a narrow sliver of land beside the tracks.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

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.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
