Nobis Hotel Copenhagen is a member of Design Hotels and is the Copenhagen outpost of a Swedish-founded boutique brand. It stands on Niels Brocks Gade, close to Tivoli Gardens, City Hall Square and Central Station, so it is easy to reach on arrival and well placed for the Glyptotek, the National Museum and the streets of Vesterbro. The interiors combine Scandinavian restraint with classical details, using a calm palette, good materials and well-chosen furniture, and the public rooms, with a bar and a restaurant, are used by locals as well as guests. Rooms vary from compact to spacious, and the design makes even small ones feel considered. The hotel suits travellers who want a stylish, central base with a bar scene on the doorstep, and it is a natural choice for design-minded couples and friends. Rates are in the upper-middle range, and they rise with demand in summer and at Christmas, when Tivoli is open. Check the room category, breakfast, bar and restaurant details and any extras when you book, since they differ by offer. The area is busy with traffic and station crowds, so ask about a quiet room if you are sensitive to noise.
The design is the point. Design Hotels selects members for personality and style, and Nobis follows through with a dignified look that sits comfortably between old and new: classical proportions, modern lighting and pieces that look chosen rather than ordered from a catalogue. Even if you are not staying, the bar is a popular place for a cocktail, and the restaurant is a good choice for a dinner that does not require leaving the building.
The location puts you within a short walk of Tivoli, the City Hall Square and Strøget, and the Glyptotek and the National Museum are close enough to visit on foot. Central Station is a few minutes away, which makes train trips to the airport, Kronborg or Louisiana simple. Vesterbro starts just across the station, with plenty of restaurants and bars in the evening.
Who it suits
Design lovers, couples and friends who want a stylish hotel with a good bar in a central position. It is a good alternative to the big chains near the station for travellers who value character and atmosphere. Families can book larger rooms but the hotel is more urban and grown-up in tone. If you want a lakeside or canal setting, look at the other hotels in this guide.
