71 Nyhavn Hotel – A Fantastic Hotel in Copenhagen

As the name indicates, 71 Nyhavn Hotel is a hotel in Nyhavn, Copenhagen, with an attractive design and surprisingly quiet location. 71 Nyhavn Hotel is located in two recently renovated warehouse buildings from the early 1800s, at the end of the street with a view of the Nyhavn Canal and Nyhavn itself.

The unique design, the ultra-comfortable bed, the ultra-fast Wi-Fi, a modern bathroom, the view (photo above) and Karmameju products are some of the reasons my room made a great impression on me. I found the service at the reception to be great, service-minded and friendly. A late check-out was no problem, as well as getting new items in the complimentary mini-bar on the second day of my stay. One of the things I don’t think many people think about when selecting a hotel in Europe is air quality, and I am sure it’s a lot better in a quiet location than on a heavily trafficked road. Finally, the last impression of a stay, the breakfast is worth mentioning. It has a nice selection of high-quality food including some certified organic products.

Copenhagen is a city with a lot to offer. Here is a list of 15 sights in the Danish capital:

1. The Little Mermaid (Den Lille Havfrue): This iconic statue is inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale and is one of the city’s most famous landmarks.
2. Tivoli Gardens: One of the world’s oldest amusement parks, Tivoli offers rides, games, beautiful gardens, and a lively atmosphere.
3. Nyhavn: Where the hotel is located. This beautiful harbour area is lined with colourful buildings, restaurants, and bars.
4. The Round Tower (Rundetårn): Climb to the top of this 17th-century tower for panoramic views of the city.
5. Rosenborg Castle: A beautiful renaissance castle housing the Danish crown jewels and a museum of royal history.
6. Christiansborg Palace: Home to the Danish Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the Prime Minister’s Office, it’s a stunning building with a tower offering great city views.
7. National Museum of Denmark: Explore Danish history, culture, and art in this comprehensive museum.
8. The National Gallery (Statens Museum for Kunst): Denmark’s premier art museum with a vast collection of European and Danish art.
9. The Royal Danish Opera House: A modern architectural marvel, it’s a great place to catch an opera or ballet performance.
10. Amalienborg Palace: The official residence of the Danish royal family, consisting of four identical rococo palaces around an octagonal courtyard.
11. The Black Diamond (Det Kongelige Bibliotek): This striking modern library overlooks the waterfront and houses a vast collection of books and cultural artefacts.
12. Copenhagen Zoo: A popular attraction for families, featuring a wide variety of animals from around the world.
13. Freetown Christiania: An autonomous neighbourhood in Copenhagen known for its alternative lifestyle, unique architecture, and vibrant street art.
14. The National Aquarium Denmark (Den Blå Planet): Northern Europe’s largest aquarium, located on the shores of the Øresund.
15. Frederiksberg Gardens: A beautiful park with canals, gardens, and a palace that is a tranquil escape from the city.

For the reasons listed in this article, I would say 71 Nyhavn Hotel would be one of my personal favourite hotels to stay in the Danish capital. It is highly recommended for discerning travellers and made me think of world-class hotels like the Greenwich Hotel in New York and Ett Hem in Stockholm. It’s that good!
