Capital Region (Hovedstaden)
Historic Art Nouveau Building
Scandic Palace Hotel occupies a historic 1910 building designed by Danish architect Anton Rosen, inspired by Art Nouveau style. The interior features golden lamp shades, red accents, high-backed black armchairs, and glass chandeliers. The hotel once had themed wings: Morning Wing for explorers, Day Wing for aristocracy, Evening Wing for entertainers, and Night Wing for musicians and poets.
Rooms with City Views
Rooms include cable TV, black-tiled bathrooms, and armchairs. Front-facing rooms overlook City Hall Square. Standard Rooms and larger come with an iron, minibar, and kettle. Some rooms retain the original two-door design, where guests once left shoes for polishing. All rooms have free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and tea/coffee makers.
Dining at Brasserie
The Brasserie on the Square serves French-inspired cuisine, featuring free-range pork from Lolland and lamb from Jutland. Breakfast includes a hot and cold buffet (weekdays 6:30 AM-9:30 AM). The Palace Bar has an intimate setting, popular with guests and locals. The restaurant is accessible via a few steps, as the lift only serves bedroom floors.
Central Copenhagen Location
The hotel is 150 meters from City Hall Square, 500 meters from Vesterport Station, and 1 km from Nørreport Station. Nearby landmarks include Tivoli Gardens, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (0.5 km), and Christiansborg Palace (1 km). The area is walkable, with buses and metro lines connecting to major attractions.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was ideal for exploring the city, being just a stone's throw from major attractions. However, the room faced a city square with constant protests and clock bells ringing every half hour. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff and exciting historic architecture. Dining was a highlight each morning, although the value for money could have been improved. Overall, a decent stay with both advantages and challenges.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel nestled near the town hall 'clock bell. ' The room, though not facing the street, was great for warming up in the evening. The service, even during chaotic times, was exceptional and accommodating. The location proved to be a bonus as it was away from the hustle and bustle but still close to all the main attractions in Copenhagen. The dining experience, while basic, offered a good variety of choices. Overall, a decent value for the money with some minor disturbances during the night.

The hotel room was delightful with views to the clock tower through an old oval window, but it could get noisy from the cafes below on the street, which is not ideal when traveling with a 2-year-old. The standard room was small with only a double bed, but it was comfortable, and the compact bathroom worked well. The hotel provided a nice breakfast.

The hotel offers a successful balance between authentic elements and modern comfort, across from the Tivoli Gardens. The rooms are spotless clean and cozy, although they can get hot like a sauna. The location is excellent for easy access to shops, restaurants, and public transportation, but parking is expensive. The dining experience is good with a variety of fresh foods, yet noise can be an issue at night. Overall, a great choice for exploring Copenhagen.

Staying in this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms were of a high standard and overlooked a peaceful courtyard, providing a serene atmosphere to unwind. However, considering the typically compact hotel rooms in Scandinavia, the size may be a bit smaller than expected. The service was friendly and accommodating, though some aspects didn't entirely meet our high expectations for the price paid. The location is unbeatable, right in the city center across from Copenhagen Town Hall and the Tivoli Gardens, offering convenient access to major attractions and transportation hubs. The dining options were fantastic, especially the breakfast spread with a variety of choices to cater to different tastes. Overall, a great choice for exploring Copenhagen, but keep in mind the potentially limited room space and expectations on service for the price point.

The location was excellent for exploring Copenhagen, with easy access to public transportation and attractions, but not recommended for those seeking a complete English Breakfast. The dining experience offered good options for all, although the layout was uncomfortable. Overall, the Palace Hotel has its ups and downs.

The hotel is as central as you can get in Copenhagen, perfect for both business activities and leisure time. The rooms were finally ready by 5 pm after some delay, but the location near Radhuspladsen is unbeatable. I loved the proximity to all major sites, especially being walking distance to Central Station, the old town, and Tivoli park. However, there were some grumpy customers due to a backlog of work faced by the hotel staff.
