Phoenix Hotel Copenhagen

Posted by Lisa Sabol-Sikorski Mar 23, 2007

Copenhagen’s Phoenix Hotel is a good choice for travelers not on a budget looking for comfortable accommodations in the center of Copenhagen, Denmark. The hotel is decorated in the neo-classical style, with soft colors, white pointed furniture with gold trim, and watercolors depicting 18th and 19th century Danish life.

Rooms

The rooms are not big but they are elegantly furnished and the beds are comfortable. The rooms have safes and a selection of international TV programming. Soaking in the large bathtub after a long day of sightseeing was just what I needed.

Location

In addition to being a comfortable place to stay, one of the best features of the hotel is the location. Within five minutes, you can walk to Kungens Nytorv square, Nyhavn, Amelienborg Castle, Frederick’s Church, and Stroget (the main shopping street). Design hounds will like the location on Bredgade Street, steps away from the Danish Design Museum and Danish design shops.

Amenities

The Phoenix Hotel has free Internet access and a selection of international newspapers in the lobby. Eating at the breakfast buffet in the hotel’s Restaurant Von Plessen is a wonderful way to start your day, with a selection of eggs, danishes (called wienerbrod in Danish), meats, cheeses, fruits, cereals, and juices/coffee/tea.

Cost

I paid 990 kroner (around 180 USD) for a double room in March. Prices can be higher in the summer months. Check their website for specials, including a Tivoli package (the park opens April 13, 2007), an Opera package, and a romance package.
