Hotel Alexandra

Hotel Alexandra is a mid-century design hotel at H.C. Andersens Boulevard 8 on the edge of Vesterbro in Copenhagen, Denmark, close to Rådhuspladsen, the city hall square. Tivoli Gardens, the Strøget pedestrian street and Copenhagen Central Station are all within a short walk, and the boulevard outside carries many bus routes, while the nearby Rådhuspladsen and Central stations provide metro and rail links including the connection to Copenhagen Airport. The hotel is best known for its interiors, which are furnished with original Danish vintage furniture from the 1950s and 1960s, including pieces by designers such as Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner and Finn Juhl. Each room is styled around such pieces, so the property doubles as a showcase of Danish mid-century design for visitors who appreciate it. Room categories include Small Rooms, Standard Rooms, Superior Rooms and Suites, and indicative double-room rates run from about DKK 1,000 to 2,200 per night depending on season, which is moderate for a central location. Amenities include a restaurant, wifi, a concierge and a lift. The restaurant serves breakfast and evening meals with a Danish flavour, and the surrounding area has plentiful alternatives from casual cafes to fine dining, including the Meatpacking District's bars and restaurants a short walk to the south-west. There is no pool or spa. Service is friendly and design-aware, with staff able to explain the furniture and suggest design museums and shops around the city. The hotel suits couples, design enthusiasts and city-break visitors who want to be within walking distance of the major sights without paying luxury prices. Small Rooms are compact, so visitors wanting more space should consider the Standard or Superior categories. Visitors can easily combine a stay with trips to the nearby design shops, the Designmuseum Danmark and the harbour baths, all of which are reachable by a short bus or bicycle ride from the boulevard. Booking early is advisable for summer weekends and during major city events.
