Villa Copenhagen is the Go-To Hotel For Copenhagen Fashion Week
While well-heeled travelers have long viewed Copenhagen as a stylish destination, the city has now established itself as a major player on the global style and design map. Since the first Copenhagen Fashion Week in 2006, the influence of “Scandi” style has indelibly left its mark on everything from interiors to fashion, as exemplified by our obsession with hygge and the success of brands like Ganni, Cecilie Bahnsen, and Saks Potts. Danish designers have also looked towards environmentally conscious initiatives long before the strategy went mainstream. It tracks, then, that Copenhagen’s taste for chic, understated luxury with a sustainable bent extends beyond fashion and into hospitality.
Villa Copenhagen is a grande-dame hotel that places sustainability at its core. From sustainable amenities to a zero-waste food concept, guests are given the unique experience of conscious luxury. Executive Chef Tore Gustafsson prepares each dish served at the Villa using local and seasonal ingredients, and offers carbon-free dining at the all-day Kontrast brasserie. The hotel’s rooftop also boasts one of Copenhagen’s only outdoor pools; it’s heated using excess energy derived from the Villa’s cooling system.
Guests might also find a sense of home inside the Earth Suite—a fully sustainable suite designed with low-impact materials and eco-friendly furnishings. A reflection of the partnership between the Villa and Earth Studio, a sustainably minded interior design studio, the suite utilizes durable materials, recycled textiles, and consciously made furniture from Danish design brand Mater.
Villa Copenhagen is also an architectural landmark. Formerly the headquarters of Denmark’s post office, many of the century-old building’s original Scandinavian design features have been preserved. The contemporary design with subtle traditional touches creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere that cultivates community among both tourists and locals.
