71 Nyhavn Hotel

Occupying two former warehouses dating back to the early 1800s (charming yellow and red brick structures with green window shutters) this upper-middle-range hotel offers a dose of hygge (Danish coziness) in a convenient and picturesque setting along the Nyhavn Canal. The atmospheric lobby combines beautiful wooden ceiling beams and columns with colorful modern art adorning white walls. Wooden beams are a theme throughout the property, adding character and a sense of rustic charm to the inviting spaces, such as the hotel's restaurant which features stylish minimalist wooden tables and chairs as well as lush potted plants. The sleek Danish design combines well with the wooden beams and other architectural details, creating cozy spaces that invite lingering. Guests here are a mix of leisure and business travelers, while the popular restaurant brings in locals and non-hotel guests as well.

The hotel occupies a prime and picturesque waterfront location along the end of the Nyhavn Canal and neighbors the Royal Danish Playhouse. The area is home to many other hotels, plus there are lots of dining options nearby. Strøget, a long pedestrian shopping street, is about a 10-minute walk from the hotel, while other top attractions that can be reached on foot include Amalienborg Palace (10-minute walk), the Little Mermaid statue (20-minute walk), and Rosenborg Castle (20-minute walk). Tivoli Gardens can be reached in about 15 minutes by bus or 10 minutes by car. The Nyhavn ferry port is right in front of the property, while the nearest metro station, Kongens Nytorv, is a 10-minute walk away. The central train station is 16 minutes away by public transportation, or around a 10-minute drive. Copenhagen Airport can be reached in 26 minutes by metro or about 30 minutes by car.

Like the rest of the property, guest rooms feature rustic wooden beams that contrast with white walls, making for characterful and cozy spaces that are filled with natural light thanks to large windows. Rooms in the two buildings differ a bit. Units in the red brick building have been more recently renovated and feature wooden floors and contemporary furnishings with stylish Danish design. Units in the yellow building are more classic in style, with carpeted floors and an older style of furniture. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, minibars, tea- and coffee-making facilities (Nespresso machines in higher-category rooms), air-conditioning, safes, and free Wi-Fi. Junior Suites add living spaces and some are lofted, but lower-category rooms can be a bit small in size. Bathrooms are sleek and modern, but also small. They're equipped with showers or shower/tub combos and are stocked with Karmameju toiletries, bathrobes, and slippers, plus there are magnifying mirrors and hairdryers. Some rooms have gorgeous canal views, while others face buildings. 

Features here are mostly focused on food. The hotel's restaurant, SEA by Kiin Kiin, is an outpost from the Michelin-star Kiin Kiin restaurant. It serves Southeast Asian fare in an inviting space for lunch and dinner, plus there's outdoor seating by the waterfront. The adjacent bar is a stylish space for a drink. The hotel also offers an extensive breakfast buffet (for a fee) that includes many local and traditional items as well as international classics, plus hot items like eggs, breakfast meats, and pancakes.The cozy lobby is a pleasant space for lingering, plus it offers free afternoon coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. There's a computer here for guest use, plus Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. Bike and car rentals are available through the hotel, as are laundry services and babysitting.
