Hotel in Vesterbro's former meatpacking district, close to the Kødbyen restaurants and bars and about 10 minutes' walk from Central Station.
Scandic Kødbyen is a hotel at Absalonsgade 5 in Vesterbro, Copenhagen, Denmark, on the edge of the former meatpacking district known as Kødbyen. The district's low brick and white-tiled market buildings now house many of the city's popular restaurants, bars, galleries and clubs, and the hotel is within a very short walk of that concentration. Copenhagen Central Station and Tivoli Gardens are about ten minutes away on foot, and the Metro and S-train services are reachable from the station, while buses along Vesterbrogade run close by. The hotel's design takes its cue from the area's industrial heritage, with contemporary Nordic interiors and a stripped-back, urban character. Rooms are offered as Standard, Superior and Family categories, giving options for couples and families. Amenities include a restaurant, a bar, a fitness centre, wifi and a lift. Breakfast is a buffet, and the nearby Kødbyen venues offer a very wide range of evening dining, from casual street-food to higher-end restaurants, which means the hotel's own restaurant is only one of many options. There is no spa or pool. Indicative double-room rates run from about DKK 900 to DKK 1,900 per night depending on season, which places the hotel among the more affordable of the Scandic properties and gives it a favourable price in relation to its position. Service follows the practical Scandic model. The hotel suits younger travellers, couples and food-focused visitors who want to be in Copenhagen's most active eating and drinking district. Because the surrounding area is busy on Friday and Saturday evenings, visitors who value quiet should ask for a room facing away from the main streets, and should allow time for the walk or a short bus ride to reach the historic centre.
