What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Forbes Travel Guide, Condé Nast Traveler, The 50 Discovery and Wallpaper*.
it transforms the former headquarters of the Danish postal service into a 390-room luxury retreat that blends the twin pillars of Scandinavian design: warm, classic coziness and sleek, minimalist modernism.
“The former Post Office building was thoughtfully brought back to life ... to create a space that was contemporary, uncluttered and calming.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly opposite the gates of Tivoli Gardens, the hotel borders Copenhagen Central Station and the buzzing Meatpacking District in Vesterbro.
The rooms
Lofty ceilings and oak herringbone floors meet bespoke walnut joinery, soundproofed windows, and bathrooms wrapped in glazed zellige tiles.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 25-meter stainless-steel rooftop pool is heated year-round using excess thermal energy from the cooling systems.
Sauna and gym
A traditional wood-paneled Finnish sauna looks across the skyline beside a 24-hour exposed-brick gym.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Rug Bakery bakes fresh sourdough daily, and breakfast is served in the former mail-sorting hall under repurposed copper arches.
Villa Copenhagen’s vast, light-filled atrium lobby bar is already a popular meeting spot for locals, thanks to regular DJs, live music and pop-up events.
How it began
Built in 1912 as the Central Post and Telegraph office, mail wagons once rolled inside to drop parcels into basement sorting halls.
“Danish brand Shamballa Jewels, meanwhile, adds its glitzy touch to two of the suites and the lively, light-filled courtyard.”
