71 Nyhavn Hotel
Denmark
At the harbour end of Copenhagen's colourful Nyhavn canal, 71 Nyhavn Hotel occupies two converted warehouses from the early nineteenth century. Its position places the city waterfront on the doorstep, while the preserved buildings give the hotel a quieter, more substantial character than the lively restaurant terraces nearby. Exposed timber beams and the warehouses' original proportions shape rooms and suites finished in a restrained Scandinavian style. Accommodation varies in outlook, with some rooms facing the neighbouring warehouse and others opening up to the water, making the choice of room part of the experience. The setting encourages exploration on foot. The Royal Danish Playhouse is close by, and the harbour provides a constant point of reference for walks, boat trips and evenings spent watching the changing light over Copenhagen. This is an appealing base for travellers who value architectural character and a central location. The combination of maritime history, understated interiors and direct access to one of the city's most recognisable waterfronts gives 71 Nyhavn a distinctive sense of place.
