The Square Copenhagen – an award winning boutique hotel

Since I love to stay in hotels with a strong design influence and a boutique feel I was interested to see that The Square Hotel Copenhagen has won a World Travel Award for Denmark’s leading boutique hotel and in fact has won the award for six years out of the last eight.

Copenhagen is a city that has no shortage of well designed hotels, drawing on all kinds of design influence, especially the clean, modern Scandinavian design and it’s one of my favourite places to visit at any time of year.

The World Travel Award is quite an accolade and aims to promote global travel and tourism by identifying and rewarding excellence, with winners in the many different categories being selected through voting by travel industry professionals.

The Central Location of The Square Hotel Copenhagen

Although I haven’t personally stayed at The Square Hotel, I have visited Copenhagen several times and know that the hotel is set in one of the most central locations by the City Hall Square which gives the hotel its name.

It’s a fantastic location for those visiting Copenhagen both for business or for a leisure break, since the Central Station is just a 5 minute walk away allowing you a quick and direct transfer from the airport in 30 minutes.

Close by you’ll find the Tivoli amusement park which is popular with locals and tourists and has something to appeal to all ages, with beautiful gardens, 25 adrenalin pumping and family friendly rides and plenty of restaurants and cafes.

If you enjoy art and sculpture, visit Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek which is also a short walk away, with a beautiful greenhouse winter garden, classical statues and a great collection of impressionist art.

Heading in the other direction through the City Hall Square will take you for a stroll along Strøget, the premier pedestrianised shopping street of Copenhagen with great Danish brands like Georg Jensen and Royal Copenhagen as well as many different fashion and clothing stores.

Boutique design inspiration at The Square Copenhagen

The ‘Square’ theme is followed through into the simple, minimalist lines of the open reception area as you enter from the City Hall Square and the square motif also continues into the textiles and furnishings in the rooms.

The hotel’s lobby is furnished with the Danish design classic egg chair by famous designer Arne Jacobsen and all of the hotel’s 267 rooms are decorated in a typically Danish design with subtle colors of soft green, purple, gold and deep red.

As all travellers know, design alone can’t guarantee a pleasant stay and so the staff at The Square Copenhagen go out of their way to create a relaxed and home-like atmosphere, and do everything they can to make it a comfortable stay.

Rooms at The Square Hotel Copenhagen

The Square Hotel has 268 non-smoking rooms with stylish, minimalist design, featuring the square motif to unify the design. You’ll find it in the luxurious velvet and satin fabrics used in the curtains and throws and in the dark wood headboards and other furniture.

All rooms feature the normal conveniences of flat screen TV, air conditioning, ironing, tea and coffee facilities, hairdryer and mini bar as well as free internet. If you are travelling as a family or group of friends, connecting rooms are also available so you can keep an eye on the kids or have fun with your friends.

The bathrooms also feature modern, Scandinavian design, with large mirrors and clean white tiling. If you suffer from allergies, let the hotel know when you book, since some rooms are available without carpets and all the duvets and pillows are hypo-allergenic and feather-free.

The buffet breakfast is served in the 6th floor restaurant area where you can enjoy a view over the square and the rooftops of Copenhagen. To set yourself up for the day, book the bed and breakfast deal and enjoy a range of fruit, yoghurt, pastries, cereals, cheese and cold meats as well as those excellent nutty Danish breads.

I love staying in hotels that have a boutique and designer feel and although I haven’t personally stayed at The Square Copenhagen, I think it would be an excellent choice for a business of leisure stay in Copenhagen, which is a wonderful city to visit at any time of year.
