Brøchner Hotels' guide to staycation in Copenhagen

This summer is all about staycation and exploring cities not too far away from home. Luckily, Copenhagen is packed with cool experiences and hidden gems to explore as a somewhat local tourist in the city. Brøchner Hotels guides to extraordinary views of the city, unique architecture, designs, and refreshing cocktails - perfect for warm summer days in the Danish capital.

Unique views and green breathing spaces

Copenhagen is known for its green parks and swimmable canals. But as many other metropolises, the city also has rooftop terraces with spectacular views. At Hotel Ottilia in the new Carlsberg City District, you can visit the rooftop with fantastic views of the upcoming area. It is perfect for cold drinks and a relaxed vibe on warm summer days.

Copenhagen is also packed with green breathing spaces in the city's backyards that even locals still have not explored. Two of these are the urban terrace at Hotel SP34 in the Latin Quarter and the terrace at Avenue Hotel Copenhagen. The latter is specialized in champagne and bubbles, so you can bring a friend, find a spot in the sun, and find your new favourites from the bar menu.

Architectural gems 

Must-see attractions and photogenic architecture are part of many city break itineraries. And Copenhagen has lots to offer when it comes to architecture. If you still have not seen Hotel Ottilia in the iconic Carlsberg Brewery buildings, Maltmagasinet and Lagerkælder 3, you should swing by. Earlier this year, the 4+ star luxury boutique hotel was awarded as the most beautiful building by the City of Copenhagen in its annual Building Awards that honours beautiful architecture in the city.

Another architectural gem is Hotel Astoria by the Central Station - Copenhagen's first functionalist hotel building from 1934. It was refurbished in 2019 with respect for the listed elements and the original interior. This includes Copenhagen's first revolving door and stunning marble floor in the lobby bar. From the top floor, you get unrivalled views of the Central Station and photo-friendly angles of the city centre.

All about design

Design is hard to miss when you are in Copenhagen, and Brøchner's hotels are no exception. Every boutique hotel has its own design theme and custom-made elements mixed with classic designs. Hotel Danmark's interior has references to the neighbouring Thorvaldsen Museum and Hotel SP34's raw interior reflects the street and the local area. Just to name a few. If you fall in love with the designs, you can buy them in the hotel Boutique or get the name of a local distributor.

Bar-hopping at the city's hotels

Hotels are so much more than a bed to sleep in. At all Brøchner's boutique hotels, the lobby bar makes out the heart of the hotel, it is the perfect meeting point for staying guests as well as locals. Every hotel has its own signature in the bar. Hotel Ottilia specializes in gin, Hotel Danmark serves rum from all over the world, and Hotel SP34 offers Denmark's largest selection of port wine. Try the refreshing port wine cocktails PortTonic or Sparkling Rosé - they make the perfect match for warm summer nights at the urban terrace.

Hey Neighbour & Brøchner's Friends

If you live in Copenhagen, you get extra benefits and special offers at Brøchner's hotels with the Hey Neighbour programme. But it is not only locals that get all the perks. Anyone who books a stay can get a Brøchner's Friends reward card, which means you earn up nights and get every 8th night on the house. The best thing? There is no expiration date, which makes it the perfect excuse to re-visit.

Staying safe @ Brøchner Hotels

Brøchner Hotels has introduced measures to make it safe to check-in. All hotels have installed hand sanitizer stations, there is min. 1-meter distance between guests and staff, and daily cleaning has increased in both rooms and social areas. The breakfast 'Good Morning. It's Organic!' is portion-packed, and if you prefer, you can get it to-go.
