Scene
Elegant historic hotel with a clientele of couples and business travelers
Phoenix Copenhagen is housed in a striking white building that dates back to the 1680s. The hotel’s elegant style is readily apparent in the stylish lobby where white marble floors pair with a circular crown molding design of the ceiling. Plush gray, purple, and white seating is available next to a water fountain in the center of the room that sets a quiet and relaxing tone. Speaking to the hotel’s historic nature, there are paintings that span across the centuries displayed on the walls in gold frames and antique chandeliers. The restaurant has a cozy upscale vibe with red leather banquettes and chairs that wrap around the walls, framing the central wooden bar. A large display of books and ample natural light are great elements to the space. Outside, there's a charming terrace with seating, umbrellas, and lamps. Couples and business travelers mostly stay here, attracted by the hotel’s central location and elegant design.

All guest rooms underwent renovations that were completed in 2017, and it shows. The rooms maintain the elegance that Phoenix Copenhagen has been known for but features a new stylish design fit for this century. The cream walls with white trim contrast with the dark gray bedding and carpet. It’s easy to see the attention to detail in the fine velour fabric of the armchairs and the silver wall lamps placed on either side of the trendy cream headboards on a silver statement wall behind the beds.
