Perched over Copenhagen Harbor, the five-star NH Collection Copenhagen occupies one of the best locations in the city. Set in the trendy Christianhavn neighborhood, the hotel offers easy access to some of the city’s best restaurants, bars, and attractions and a quiet respite to retreat to after a busy day.

The large 394-room hotel prioritizes sustainability, with initiatives such as a green roof, a seawater cooling system, and eco-friendly materials—a natural fit for Copenhagen, one of the greenest cities in the world.

The Location

A collection of small islands form lively Christianshavn, where brightly painted houseboats and buildings line the canals. The NH Collection Copenhagen sits right on the main canal across from the Knippelsbro ferry terminal, making it easy to get out on the water to explore.

The hotel is less than a five-minute walk to the Christianshavn Metro, where you can utilize the city’s well-run transit system to sightsee further out in the city. From this station, guests can catch the train to the airport (no transfers required), making arrivals and departures a breeze.
