Europe's first 1 Hotel plants its green-luxury manifesto in a former bank headquarters, between Strøget and the Danish Latin Quarter.
1 Hotel Copenhagen
From
508.545 €
“LEED Platinum certification, recycled materials everywhere (reclaimed wood, organic linen, Danish stone), without ever sacrificing five-star comfort.”
1 Hotel Copenhagen occupies a neoclassical 1898 building a stone's throw from Rundetårn, entirely reconverted to the American brand's sustainable standards. We sleep in rooms where driftwood meets Scandinavian linen, Bornholm stone bathrooms, plastic-free minibars. The original architecture (4.20 m ceilings, mouldings, herringbone parquet) dialogues with contemporary design signed INC Architecture & Design, understated but never austere. The fitness centre is open 24h/24, restaurant Berta focuses on Nordic short supply chains, the lobby functions as a club for Copenhagen's creative clientele. From 509 € a night, rate justified by the project's coherence and central location. We recommend it to travellers who want luxury without carbon guilt ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the 1 Hotel Copenhagen to conscious travellers who refuse to choose between luxury and environmental impact. It's an address for thirty-to-forty-somethings on business trips, design-sensitive couples, visiting Nordic creatives. Families find their place here (connecting rooms, child-friendly policy), but the clientele remains mostly adult, urban, informed.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The building dates from 1898, a former neoclassical bank reconverted in 2023. Limestone façade, tall windows, generous volumes (4.20 m ceilings in the suites). Interior by INC Architecture & Design: driftwood, Danish stone, natural linen, sand-grey-green palette. No Italian marble or gilding, everything from Scandinavia or certified sources. The 189 rooms range from 28 to 85 m², all different in layout but united by the same material grammar.
At the table

Organic buffet breakfast (sourdough bread, Danish charcuterie, farm yogurts), served until 11am at weekends. 24h/24 room service, reduced but curated menu.
