This hotel is also in a central location, with easy access to the markets and other attractions. It has comfortable rooms and excellent amenities.
Hotel Motel One
Address: Løngangstræde 27, 1468 Copenhagen
At only 400 metres from Copenhagen Christmas Market, this means the Hotel Motel One is a 5-minute walk from the market and other famous sights in Copenhagen.
This was previously Hotel H27, an intimate Danish design hotel inspired by 50s and 60s fashion. This is now part of the popular Motel One group, which is known for its relative affordability.
Importantly, this is one of the more sustainable hotels in Copenhagen as they use 100% renewable energy, avoid single-use plastic, and offer bicycle rental to help you get around sustainably.
Near Tivoli Gardens
Staying in a hotel near Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen is an excellent choice.
The area around Tivoli is home to many restaurants, cafes, and shops, as well as the amusement park.

This is a great boutique hotel that is centrally located near the Tivoli Gardens. The black, white, and pale green design palette gives the rooms a modern yet cosy feel.
It might be too cold to use in December, but if possible, check out the rooftop terrace for panoramic views over Copenhagen.

Nyhavn Area
The Huxley

The beautiful designer Danish furniture in an orange and blue colour scheme is unique and inviting, as well as the quality timber floorboards that help provide a very Scandinavian hotel experience.

This is a great location if you would like to be near some of the city’s excellent restaurants and if you want to stay in a quieter area while still being in the city centre.

If you would prefer to stay directly at the famous Nyhavn District on the waterfront, 71 Nyhavn is the best hotel in this area.
Located in converted warehouses dating from the 1800s, it’s a special building that has been wonderfully renovated. The rooms are cosy and unique, with white walls and exposed timber beams.
All the guests comment on the breakfast, location and lovely staff. The beautiful staircases and windows reflect the historic nature of the building, but the design is still modern and clean.

Staying in an apartment in Copenhagen will allow you to have more peace and privacy while still being in one of the best locations in the city.
This apartment is extremely light and bright, with beautiful timber floors and is decorated in cool whites, greys, and blues.
The building location gives direct access to Strøget and Højbro Square and is close to anywhere you’re likely to go in Copenhagen while on holiday.
Tip: This is one of the best places to stay in Copenhagen, and I highly recommend staying here.
