Hotel in Copenhagen V, Denmark
Villa Copenhagen
Check rates & availability on Booking.comSustainable luxury hotel in former postal headquarters near Central Station. This 390-room hotel features rooftop pool, multiple restaurants, and Denmark's tallest green wall. Modern Scandinavian design meets environmental responsibility.
Villa Copenhagen is a large-scale sustainable luxury hotel occupying the former main post office building at Tietgensgade 35-39, directly adjacent to Copenhagen Central Station and Tivoli Gardens. The building was completed in 1912 and represents one of the finest examples of Danish National Romantic architecture in the city — its grand red-brick facade, copper-clad towers, and monumental arched windows recall the civic ambition of early-20th-century Copenhagen. The hotel opened in 2020 after a multi-year restoration that earned recognition for integrating historic fabric with contemporary design.
With 390 rooms and suites, Villa Copenhagen is among the larger luxury properties in the Danish capital. Rooms are designed in a restrained Nordic idiom: pale oak, natural linen, soft greys, and hand-placed tiles create spaces that feel calm and residential. The hotel's sustainability credentials are embedded throughout: Denmark's tallest living green wall runs along the interior courtyard, rooftop solar panels supply a portion of the building's energy, and the restaurant menus prioritise local and seasonal sourcing.
The rooftop pool is one of the hotel's defining features — an outdoor heated pool at the top of the building with views across the Copenhagen skyline and toward Tivoli's illuminated silhouette in the evenings. The adjacent spa and wellness area offers treatments informed by Scandinavian cold-water and herbal traditions. A fitness centre with modern equipment operates around the clock.
The hotel operates multiple food and beverage outlets including a courtyard bar that is a popular gathering point in warmer months and a main restaurant serving modern Danish cuisine with a heavy emphasis on vegetables and local produce. Bike rental is available at the concierge desk, and the hotel's position directly beside Central Station makes it one of the best-connected properties in Copenhagen for travellers using rail, Metro, bus, or airport shuttle services.
