1 Hotel Copenhagen: A Nature-Inspired Urban Oasis with Michelin Recognition
1 Hotel Copenhagen, a distinguished Michelin Key One-Keys property, consistently garners high praise for its harmonious blend of sustainable luxury, exceptional design, and prime location. Guests frequently describe their stays as "amazing," "unforgettable," and among their "best overall hotel stay" experiences. The hotel holds an impressive overall rating of 8.3 on Agoda, with cleanliness and comfort scoring 8.3 and 8.1 respectively, while verified Michelin Guide guests award an overall experience score of 18.4 out of 20.
Key Highlights
The hotel's most celebrated aspects revolve around its unique nature-first, biophilic design, which seamlessly integrates Danish aesthetics with a luxurious and "hygge" ambiance. Expect raw wood, concrete, touchable textiles, and an abundance of living plants, including vertical gardens and lush interior greenery, creating a warm, organic, and deeply tactile environment. The stunning lobby, complete with a welcoming bar, is a particular standout.
The location is consistently lauded as excellent and central, situated within Copenhagen's vibrant Latin Quarter. Its superb accessibility allows guests to walk to major city center attractions and shopping streets like Strøget in mere minutes. Public transport, including railway, metro, and bus stations, are a short two-minute walk away, with Tivoli Gardens just a 10-minute bus ride.
The service and staff are frequently highlighted as friendly, professional, attentive, and consistently going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. Guests also appreciate the hotel's extensive amenities, which include a 24-hour gym (Field House Gym), pet-friendly policies, free Wi-Fi, and a range of in-room wellness features. A Bamford spa is anticipated to open in early 2026, further enhancing the wellness offerings.
Room Quality
The rooms at 1 Hotel Copenhagen are described as spacious and design-forward, harmonizing Danish aesthetics with luxurious touches. They embody a "virtuous yet decadent" feel, incorporating raw wood, concrete, touchable textiles, and living plants. Each room features air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, wooden flooring, a minibar, a safe, and premium bedding. Thoughtful additions include filtered water taps, Nespresso machines, Bamford bath products, soft cotton robes and slippers, and yoga mats. Some accommodations also offer balconies or terraces, providing intimate connections to the city's rooftops and historic streets. The bathrooms are designed as serene sanctuaries, with large rain showers, stone surfaces, and stimulating textures.
Dining Experience
The hotel offers a distinctive culinary journey rooted in nature and seasonality. Fjora, the flagship restaurant, is led by Green Michelin-starred Chef Chantelle Nicholson. It presents "determinedly local Nordic fare," with menus crafted around foraged herbs, wild fish, and heirloom vegetables, emphasizing seasonal and locally sourced ingredients through imaginative techniques. The PÆRE cocktail bar aims to foster creativity and connection with its botanical infusions and Nordic spirits. For lighter options, Farmstand, a market-style café, provides fresh produce, local cheeses, and artisanal treats.
Breakfast at 1 Hotel Copenhagen is consistently rated as excellent, superb, and an "indulgent delight," with many guests considering it the best they've experienced. Options include a buffet, vegetarian, and vegan choices.
Service & Staff
Guest feedback on the service and staff is overwhelmingly positive. Reviewers consistently highlight the staff as "terrific," "friendly," and "professional," often noting their attentiveness and willingness to go "above and beyond" to ensure a pleasant stay. The presence of multi-lingual staff further enhances the guest experience.
Location & Accessibility
Nestled in the historic and quirky Latin Quarter, 1 Hotel Copenhagen boasts an excellent central location that puts Copenhagen's vibrant attractions right at its doorstep. Guests can easily walk to the city center and major shopping areas like Strøget in approximately four minutes. The hotel is also exceptionally well-connected by public transport, with railway, metro, and bus stations just a two-minute walk away. A local bus stop outside the hotel provides a direct 10-minute connection to Tivoli Gardens. Many guests appreciate the option to rent bikes directly from the hotel, although its central position often makes walking the preferred mode of transport.
Value & Pricing
As a luxury property, 1 Hotel Copenhagen's pricing reflects its high-end offerings. While one guest felt the cost was "slightly overpriced for the size of the room and the facilities", another found it to be an "excellent value for money". Agoda rates the "Value for money" at 7.5 out of 10. Typical nightly rates can range from approximately $204 to $435.
Common Complaints
Despite its many strengths, some recurring criticisms have been noted. Noise is a significant concern for some guests, particularly in rooms facing the atrium, where music and weekend DJs can create disturbances. Street noise has also been reported to affect sleep quality in some rooms, leading to claims that the rooms are "absolutely not soundproof".
Other complaints include inaccurate room descriptions, with some "skyline view" suites reportedly looking directly into other buildings. Technical issues such as non-functional Bluetooth or TV pairing, limited TV channels, and a reliance on Chromecast (which may not be ideal for Apple users) have also been mentioned. Service lapses, like minimalistic or forgotten turndown service and repetitive breakfast inquiries, have been noted. Furthermore, some guests express disappointment over additional costs for amenities like matcha lattes at breakfast (unusual for a 5-star hotel) and bike rentals, which are often complimentary in Copenhagen. Finally, isolated incidents of maintenance issues, such as leaking basins and previous guest leftovers, and slow elevators have been reported.
