For a truly Royal stay in Copenhagen, you need a hotel close to
Amalienborg Palace. This is not an area of the city bursting with hotels, but there are still rooms to be had in all price categories, whether you plan on sleeping like a princess or in the more modest household quarters.
Admiral, with its impressive architecture and decor, smart restaurant and sea views, tops our list. It doesn't come cheap, but this 250 year-old century warehouse has been exceptionally well-restored: As has
Copenhagen Strand, the result of combining two 18th-century warehouses into one hotel in 2002.
As you might expect from such an old quarter-
Frederiksstaden was designed as a model city district more than 250 years ago-almost all of the hotels on our list are brimming with history. The exception is the
Scandic Front, an impressively modern design hotel bravely displaying Copenhagen's post-millennium image.
Comfort Hotel Esplanaden is like the Royal Family themselves; quietly classy. Its peaceful location at the foot of
Kastellet park as well as its affordable rates place it above four-star hotels like
Phoenix and Front.
Budget travelers wishing to stay in this exclusive quarter have less choice. The only option is
Bethel - a sailors' hostel that now operates as a small hotel, and which singles itself out among the city's low-cost lodging with this unbeatable location right on
Nyhavn.
