1 Hotel Copenhagen: Experience Nature-Inspired Luxury in Denmark
1 Hotel Copenhagen: A New Jewel in the Heart of Denmark
1 Hotels, renowned for its luxury accommodations steeped in nature, is set to unveil its latest gem, 1 Hotel Copenhagen, in the historic Skt. Petri location. Founded by visionary hospitality leader Barry Sternlicht, this new addition embodies the ethos of sustainable travel that the brand has embraced since its inception. The choice of Copenhagen — a city celebrated for its commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness — as the first European site seems both strategic and soulful.
In Copenhagen, where the tranquility of the environment meets urban life, the hotel aims to bring guests closer to the rich natural beauty and vibrant culture that defines the city. Situated at Krystalgade 22, the hotel provides easy access to iconic attractions such as Tivoli Gardens, the Round Tower, Rosenborg Castle, and the Botanical Garden. Sternlicht himself states, "Copenhagen has a special place in my heart. The authenticity, the creativity, and the warm hospitality here mirror everything that 1 Hotels stands for."
A Fusion of Nature and Design
1 Hotel Copenhagen is transformed from the former Skt. Petri, honoring its architectural heritage while seamlessly merging it with modern, nature-inspired design. The interiors feature carefully curated Danish craftsmanship, utilizing natural materials that evoke the stunning Nordic landscapes. The hotel is adorned with textiles, decor, and furniture that reflect the organic beauty of Denmark, designed to create a soothing atmosphere that promotes well-being.
Greenery flourishes throughout the hotel, from the indoor trees in the atrium to outdoor terraces blooming with seasonal herbs and flowers. A striking green wall enhances the façade, visually connecting the hotel with the natural world while contributing to an inviting urban landscape. Additionally, a bee hotel emphasizes the importance of urban pollinators, further anchoring 1 Hotel Copenhagen's commitment to sustainability.
In total, the hotel boasts 252 serene rooms and 30 luxurious suites. Each space invites guests to escape the bustle of city life with calming natural textures, ample daylight, and locally inspired details. With finishes like reclaimed wood, sustainable bedding, and mineral-based paints, guests can experience a sanctuary that feels genuine and harmonious.
