Marchal holds a Michelin star inside the Hotel d'Angleterre on Kongens Nytorv, which is the easy starting point for hotel dining in Copenhagen: the grand hotels keep serious kitchens, and so do the design hotels that followed them. From two restaurants under one roof inside Tivoli to a sharing room in a former post building and an Eastern-Mediterranean table in a 25hours hotel, these are the in-hotel rooms worth a booking on their own. Here is which hotel each sits in, what it costs, and how to book it. Six, ranked on the cooking, the setting and value.
1.Marchal
A Michelin star inside the grandest hotel in town. Book it for Nordic-French cooking and old-world service.
Marchal is the Michelin-starred dining room of the Hotel d'Angleterre on Kongens Nytorv, the grand dame of Copenhagen hotels, with chef Alexander Baert cooking a refined Nordic-French menu. A four-course dinner runs around 1,000 kroner, and the kitchen leans on Norwegian langoustine and a classic pate en croute. The room opened in 2013 and has carried its star since.
This is the booking for a diner who wants a starred hotel restaurant with full, old-school service rather than a Nordic tasting marathon. Reserve ahead for dinner, and ask for a table in the main room overlooking the square.
Book direct; ask for a square-view table.
2.Gemyse
A greenhouse room built on vegetables, in a hotel inside Tivoli. Go for the six green courses to share.
Gemyse is the greenhouse restaurant of the Nimb Hotel, set inside Tivoli Gardens, and it is the city's clearest case for plants first in a hotel setting. Six green courses come family-style for about 250 kroner, with meat or fish as an add-on, and much of the produce is grown on the kitchen's own plot. It opened in 2017 and sits in the Michelin guide listing.
This is the booking for a group that wants a vegetable-led dinner with the Tivoli setting around it. There is no detail page for it on our guide yet, so reserve through the Nimb site, and go in the warmer months when the greenhouse and garden are at their best.
Book via Nimb; take the six green courses to share.
3.Nimb Brasserie
A grand brasserie in the Nimb's Moorish landmark. Book it for steak, seafood and Tivoli through the windows.
Nimb Brasserie is the flagship dining room of the Nimb Hotel, inside the Moorish landmark that has anchored this corner of Tivoli since 1909, and it carries a Michelin recommendation. The kitchen runs French-Danish brasserie classics, from a flambeed pepper steak and steak tartare to a champagne seafood platter around 1,500 kroner for two. The room is one of the largest of its kind in the city.
This is the booking for a celebratory hotel dinner with the gardens through the windows. Reserve ahead for an evening table, and take the seafood platter if you are marking something with a group.
Book direct; order the seafood platter for the table.
4.Kontrast
A design-led sharing room in a former post building. Go for plates that cross the Mediterranean and the North.
Kontrast is the all-day restaurant of Villa Copenhagen, the hotel built into the city's former central post building opposite the main station, and it opened in 2020. Executive chef Tore Gustafsson, with head chef Carl Henriksson, runs a sharing menu that crosses Danish and Swedish cooking with Turkish and North African spice, around an open kitchen. Dinner lands near 800 to 900 kroner a head, and the room has taken a darc design award.
This is the booking for a diner who wants a stylish, sociable hotel dinner rather than a formal tasting. There is no detail page for it on our guide yet, so reserve through the Villa Copenhagen site, ideally for a table near the open kitchen.
Book via Villa Copenhagen; sit near the open kitchen.
5.Sanders Kitchen
A boutique-hotel room from a former ballet star. Go for lobster pasta and the cocktail bar next door.
Sanders Kitchen is the restaurant of Hotel Sanders, the boutique hotel near the Royal Danish Theatre opened in 2017 by former ballet principal Alexander Kolpin, and the property sits on the World's 50 Best Discovery list. The kitchen runs an Italian-Mediterranean menu, with a lobster pasta at 275 kroner and oysters and champagne to start, and the lauded TATA cocktail bar adjoins the room. The mood is intimate rather than grand.
This is the booking for a couple who want a refined, low-key hotel dinner with a serious bar attached. There is no detail page for it on our guide yet, so reserve through Hotel Sanders, and order the lobster pasta.
Book via Hotel Sanders; order the lobster pasta.
6.NENI Copenhagen
Sharing plates from the Molcho family, in a design hotel. Go for hummus, the Jerusalem plate and a loud table.
NENI Copenhagen is the restaurant of the 25hours Hotel Indre By on Pilestraede, part of the Molcho family group founded by Haya Molcho, and it opened with the hotel in 2021. The menu is Eastern-Mediterranean sharing food, with hummus from about 105 kroner, mains from 165 and the house Jerusalem plate built for the table. The room is casual and busy, the most affordable booking on this list.
This is the booking for a group that wants generous, sociable food at a gentle price in a design hotel. There is no detail page for it on our guide yet, so reserve through the 25hours site, and order across the table rather than per person.
Book via 25hours; share the mezze across the table.
Not for a hotel dinner
Skip if you want to dine where you sleep: Noma
Noma is the destination restaurant the world books months ahead, out on Refshaleoen rather than in a hotel, and it is closing its restaurant in its current form. For a traveller who wants to dine where they sleep, or simply to walk down to dinner, it is the wrong fit. The same goes for the two-star Alchemist nearby.
Keep Noma and Geranium for a planned pilgrimage, and use the in-hotel rooms above when convenience is the point.
How to pick a Copenhagen hotel restaurant
Match the room to the night. Marchal is the formal, starred occasion, the two Nimb rooms inside Tivoli suit a celebration with a setting, and Kontrast, Sanders Kitchen and NENI are the easier, more sociable dinners. All six welcome non-guests, so you do not need to be staying to book.
Prices run wide, from NENI mains at 165 kroner to a four-course Marchal dinner near 1,000, so set your budget before you choose. Reserve ahead for dinner at all of them, especially Marchal and the Nimb rooms, and book the Tivoli restaurants in the warmer season when the gardens are open.
