Hotel Kong Arthur
Classic Copenhagen meets Asian spa retreat. High wall panels, Danish design furniture, a fireplace lobby lounge with brocaded couches, butterfly murals in the hallways, and an orientally inspired water temple with silk pillows and Japanese statuettes one floor below.
Book Ni'mat Spa well in advance — weekends fill up fast and you need to verify your identity before booking
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide-recommended and Green Key certified. Houses one of Copenhagen's oldest spas — Ni'mat — with a full oriental water temple (jacuzzi, sauna, steam bath). Runs a daily Cozy Hour (5–6pm) with complimentary drinks for all guests. The New Nordic breakfast buffet uses 60–90% organic, locally sourced ingredients and draws both hotel guests and locals.
A stately 1882 building on the edge of Copenhagen's city lakes, Hotel Kong Arthur packs 214 rooms into the quiet Nansensgade neighborhood — a short walk from Nørrebro on one side and the city center on the other. The lobby has a fireplace, Danish design classics, and an Asian-inspired aesthetic that carries right down into the Ni'mat Spa water temple below. Lower-category rooms can be genuinely small, most rooms lack air-conditioning, and breakfast is an add-on not included in base rates. But the daily Cozy Hour with free drinks, the serious Nordic breakfast buffet, and the genuine warmth of the staff keep guests coming back.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Double Economy
Good for a solo traveler who wants extra space or a couple happy to cozy up in a semi-double. Views of either the courtyard or the street. Classic Copenhagen décor throughout.
Semi-double (140 cm) · 16 sqmJunior Suite
Built for families or small groups needing real space. Has a sofa and sofa bed in addition to the king-size bed, plus room for extra pouf beds. Classic Copenhagen style with generous square footage.
King (160–180 cm) · 29 sqmLOFT Suite
The most distinctive room at the hotel. Splits across two levels — a lounge area on the ground floor and a king-size bed upstairs via a steep internal staircase. Overlooks one of the green courtyards. Has two lounge chairs, full complimentary minibar, turn-down service, and a bathtub. Fits up to 5 guests. Nothing else quite like it in Copenhagen, but those stairs are real — not suitable for everyone.

Proper suite with a separate seating area, complimentary minibar (not just water), turn-down service, bathrobe and slippers. Some rooms include a bathtub. Generous space, sofa, and up to 4 guests. The go-to for a splurge without the LOFT's steep stairs.
