390 rooms
The hotel features 390 rooms, a rooftop swimming pool, a large, green interior courtyard and a variety of dining outlets. Villa Copenhagen is set in a prime location in the city, moments away from the famous attractions Tivoli Gardens and Meatpacking District.
“We are a hotel unlike any other. We live by our values of contrast, conscious luxury and happiness, determined to redefine the industry by offering experiences of beauty, knowledge and humanity at the deepest and most inspiring level. We want to be the best hotel for the world and take full responsibility for our environmental footprint,” is a statement on the hotel’s website.
Villa Copenhagen is the newest independent project by Nordic Hotels & Resorts, and has been designed to uphold the group’s commitment to eco-sustainability. “Conscious luxury, as we call it, is about enjoying everything life has to offer from unique experiences and unexpected encounters, to quality food and inspiring surroundings, while at the same time taking responsibility for our actions and our impact on the planet.”

Neo-Baroque architecture
For more than 100 years, this building has been admired for its Neo-Baroque architecture. Its transformation to a hotel is fitting as a gathering place for a new generation. Much of the hotel’s design was created by London-based Universal Design Studio, an award-winning architecture and interiors studio, including the grand staircases, and some public spaces. Throughout the hotel, Universal Design Studio has used a mixture of contemporary and classic Scandinavian design styles.
