Villa Copenhagen is the big, swimmable splurge. It's 390 rooms in a 1912 post office by Central Station, renovated in 2020, with a 25 m outdoor rooftop pool, a sauna and a 24/7 gym — MICHELIN lists it without a Key, and Forbes calls it soon to be rated.
It prints more than the Key hotels do. The indoor garage, 200 m away, costs DKK 40 (about US$6) an hour, and valet starts 25 m from the door, unpriced. Breakfast hours are posted, and Junior Suites run 29 to 39 m².
None of it covers the cruise. Our routing puts Oceankaj about 5.7 road miles away, roughly 16 minutes by taxi.
Book it for a swim above the station roofs, and ask for the breakfast price when you reserve.
Book it if
- You want a 25 m pool on the roof
- You're arriving by train
- Pets are coming too
Look elsewhere if
- You want a MICHELIN Key.
- You need parking for a week.
- You want breakfast priced up front.
