What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The result is a hotel where spaces have been considered holistically, where you can find beauty in the designs as they both work together.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The lawns of the King's Garden and Rosenborg Castle are just outside, with Nyhavn a short walk away.
The rooms
Solid wood cabinetry is tailored to each room, finished in archival paint colors with hanging paper lanterns.
Petra Bar & Restaurant
The ground-floor dining room serves seasonal Nordic dishes using local organic produce, with natural wines and craft cocktails.
How it began
Built in 1943 as a neighborhood guesthouse, the property takes its name from an iconic 1938 Danish armchair.
