In Copenhagen, the term ‘luxury’ has a different definition. Denmark is an extremely equality-driven place, where people find privilege a bit distasteful and open displays of wealth in bad form. There’s even an unofficial cultural rule about it, called Janteloven, which criticises anyone who thinks that they’re better than anyone else. So, when it comes to swanky hotels, don’t expect too much glitz and glam, luxury in these parts is understated rather than extravagant.
The very best of the city’s luxury hotels are supremely tasteful, with excellent service, and an approach that prioritises your comfort, making you feel at home. They focus on the little things that Danes hold dear: minimalist style (so no flashy gold taps), a thoughtful approach, exquisite details and a sense of hygge. The best of the city’s luxury hotels make you feel special and are found in the heart of the action – where you can experience the very best of the city.
