1 Hotel Copenhagen is one of the city’s most exciting new openings, a property that blends sustainability, Scandinavian calm and contemporary luxury in a way that feels both fresh and deeply rooted in place.
Set on Krystalgade in the historic heart of the city, the hotel sits at the intersection of Copenhagen’s vibrant Latin Quarter and its centuries‑old architectural core, offering a perfect base for exploring the capital’s cultural and culinary highlights. The building mirrors the brand’s nature‑first philosophy: soft organic lines, warm timber, stone textures and greenery woven through every space, creating a sanctuary where urban energy meets natural tranquillity.
Inside, the aesthetic is unmistakably 1 Hotels. The lobby blends pale woods, tactile fabrics, sculptural lighting and biophilic touches, with locally sourced and often recycled materials used throughout the property. Walls are finished with Scandinavian marble paints and naturally pigmented clays, giving the interiors a soft, earthy warmth that feels both modern and deeply Scandinavian. It’s calm, warm and quietly luxurious.
The hotel offers a generous selection of rooms and suites, each shaped around natural materials and thoughtful lighting. They feel serene rather than showy, with filtered drinking water stations and low‑flow fixtures in every room to reduce water usage effortlessly. For longer stays, the two‑bedroom apartments are a standout. They offer separate living areas, full kitchens, dining space and generous bathrooms, all finished with the same organic textures and muted tones. The amenities inside the apartments are designed for real living: high‑quality kitchenware, comfortable seating, premium bath products and a layout that feels more like a beautifully designed Copenhagen residence than a hotel suite.
Dining follows the brand’s sustainable ethos, with farm‑to‑table menus and seasonal Nordic ingredients shaping the culinary offering. There is also a bar, a lounge, a gym and personal training facilities, plus in‑room wellness options for guests seeking a more private retreat.
A major highlight is still to come: the Bamford Wellness Spa, opening in 2027. The spa will feature soothing, nature‑inspired treatment rooms designed as a backdrop for Bamford’s holistic approach to wellbeing, offering restorative treatments built around natural ingredients and a deep connection to mind, body and spirit . It promises to be one of the most serene wellness spaces in the city.
Rooms start from mid‑range Copenhagen prices, reflecting the hotel’s luxury‑lifestyle positioning. The location is exceptional, minutes from cafés, galleries, shopping streets and cultural landmarks. For business travellers, the hotel also offers sustainable gathering spaces and meeting rooms, making it suitable for small events or creative sessions.
Why stay? Because 1 Hotel Copenhagen offers something rare: a hotel that feels deeply Scandinavian yet globally relevant, where design, comfort and sustainability meet without compromise. It’s one of the city’s most compelling new addresses and with Bamford arriving next year, it’s only getting better.
