One of the finest and most beautiful hotels in Northern Europe, the five-star D’ANGLETERRE, known for its elegance, timeless luxury and style, embodies the perfect balance between the stately Victorian architecture of the historic building and the graceful simplicity of modern Scandinavian design, being an iconic landmark of Copenhagen and whole Denmark.
Founded in 1755, D’ANGLETERRE is located on Kongens Nytorv in the heart of Copenhagen, just a minute’s walk from colorful Nyhavn, the Royal Theater, the Royal Garden and Strøget, the longest shopping street in Europe.
After a recent complete renovation, D’ANGLETERRE has reappeared in all its neoclassical palace charm, combining heritage and style with the finest personalized services that will satisfy the desires of the most sophisticated travelers and will be the best place to stay in Copenhagen.
Ranked among the top ten hotels in Copenhagen, D’ANGLETERRE was born out of the love between two young people — Jean Marchal, a French servant and Maria Coppi, the daughter of the royal cook. Maria was known for her culinary talent and Jean knew all about serving the privileged. Together they founded the restaurant that now bears the name of the founders, which later became a hotel.
The talent of Jean Marchal and his successors in providing exceptional service, hospitality and comfort has carried the identity of D’ANGLETERRE for over 260 years, a tradition of the hotel’s core heritage.
Today, the owners and every member of the hotel’s staff lovingly carry on this tradition, which has earned the hotel a top 5-star rating as the only Superior Luxury hotel in Denmark, and the entire team is committed to becoming the leading hotel in Northern Europe.
An aesthetic of art and culture permeates the entire hotel, creating an atmosphere of sophistication and exclusivity, as it has been from the very beginning. D’ANGLETERRE has always been Copenhagen’s creative canvas, a cherished home for intellectuals and artists — Søren Kierkegaard and H.C. Andersen among others.
Art enhances the guest experience and creates a sense of place and identity deeply rooted in Danish history and inspired by the world. Upon entering the lobby, the carefully selected artwork is immediately striking, with a remarkable oil painting of Britain’s Queen Victoria by Franz Xaver Winterhalter near the reception desk and an original portrait of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark by Andy Warhol above the reception desk.
As an active contributor of artwork to the capital’s ever-changing cultural life, the hotel provides emerging Danish artists with the opportunity to exhibit their work in the interiors, creating a platform for them to flourish.
Art here is not only evident in the paintings, but also in the meticulous attention to detail in every aspect of the hotel, from textiles, colors and fragrances to decor and floral arrangements.
ROOMS & SIGNATURE SUITES
The hotel offers 92 spacious rooms and suites — all of which are a haven of elegance and comfort, but each with a unique charm and personality.
All rooms and suites are stylishly furnished with a combination of rich materials, surfaces, shapes and tones, creating a unique elegance. The rooms are decorated with carefully hand-picked works of art.
Modern touches complement the design, creating a favorable atmosphere for guests — all rooms have magnificent bathrooms, climate control, the latest entertainment systems and the best in modern technology. Many suites have balconies overlooking Kongens Nytorv Square, the Royal Danish Theatre, the quiet Hovedvagtsgade street or the hotel’s cozy backyard.
For those looking for an unforgettable vacation or romantic getaway, a wide range of in-room amenities are available — champagne, specially created floral arrangements from CREATIONS or cakes and sweet treats from MAISON.
Also all suites guests are welcomed with a pleasant compliment.
MARCHAL RESTAURANT
The Marchal Restaurant, the heart and soul of the hotel, continues the tradition of fusing the passion and culinary art of its creators, offering a dining experience that appeals to all the senses as a declaration of love for good taste, pure aesthetics and the right wine pairing.
