Floating barge quarters
Moored along the quayside, the converted cargo barge offers an intimate retreat designed around life directly on the water.
What it’s good at
Listed
Moored along Christianshavn quayside with water views across to the Black Diamond library.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
The 12 rooms are clean-lined and simply adorned with wooden floors, Danish furniture, and original aquatic-inspired paintings by the hotel’s co-owner.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Christianshavn's quayside sits right outside, with the Black Diamond library and harbor baths just across the water.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass looks straight across the water, and tinted shower panes bring the harbor inside.
At the table
Continental breakfast is served along the lounge window counter, or taken outside on the sun deck.
How it began
The vessel began as a German river barge, extended in Poland and Estonia before being towed into Copenhagen harbor.

The eight vibes

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.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
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.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
