MORE THAN A PLACE TO STAY IN COPENHAGEN

‍

At Brøchner Hotels, we believe a great stay is about more than a beautiful room and a comfortable bed. It's about how a place makes you feel. The atmosphere. The people. The little details you didn't know you needed.

We're a Danish family-owned collection of boutique hotels and luxury apartments in Copenhagen, each with its own personality, design story and connection to the city.

From historic architecture and contemporary Danish design to vibrant bars, extraordinary breakfasts and personal hospitality, we do things a little differently.

Because ordinary was never really our thing.

family-owned brand

Founded in 1982 by Bergliot and Hans Brøchner-Mortensen, Brøchner Hotels is a Danish family-owned collection of boutique hotels, luxury suites and design apartments in Copenhagen. Today, their son Søren and his wife Mette carry on the family legacy.

From the Latin Quarter to the historic Carlsberg district, our hotels bring together distinctive architecture, contemporary Danish design and personal hospitality.

  • The Mission

    To create distinct locations with great care and attention.
    A mission that has stayed the same ever since we were founded. It is reflected in everything we do and how we do it - across all our properties.

  • THE AWARDS

    On our ‘wall of fame’, we are quite proud to list acknowledgements by both Wallpaper*, Condé Nast Traveler, and AHEAD Awards with various design and hotel awards and nominations.

  • THE STORY

    Ever wondered how we started?
     
    In 1982, Brøchner Hotels was founded by Bergliot and Hans Brøchner-Mortensen. Today, the company is owned by their son, Søren Brøchner-Mortensen, and his wife, Mette Brøchner-Mortensen.

    When Søren took over, he had ambitious plans. He wanted to redefine the boutique hotel experience by transforming buildings with unique architecture, history and design into extraordinary places to stay.

    But his vision went beyond hotels. He wanted to build a company driven by strong values – Responsibility, Care and Passion – with a culture built on trust, where every colleague is empowered to take ownership and make a difference.

    A vision that remains at the heart of our DNA today.

    OUR VALUES

    Behind every Brøchner experience are three values that shape how we work, welcome guests and look after the world around us.

  • RESPONSIBILITY

    Good hospitality comes with responsibility. To our people, guests, communities and planet.

    Thoughtful choices. Meaningful actions. Every day.

  • Passion

    Passion drives everything we do. From our design to personal hospitality and perfectly poured drinks. Every detail matters.

  • CARE

    We believe in genuine connections, warm hospitality and looking after those around us. Our team, our guests, our partners and our neighbours.

  • an ordinary hotel stay?

    new life

  • WE DEVELOP

    We have a thing for buildings with character. The kind with history in the walls, architectural details worth preserving and stories waiting to be rediscovered.

    Rather than starting with a blank canvas, we look for places with something to say. Historic brewery buildings, distinctive city properties and architectural landmarks that deserve a new chapter.

    At Hotel Ottilia, the industrial heritage of the former Carlsberg brewery becomes part of the experience. At Ottilia Heritage, the original malt warehouse from 1881 has been transformed into an exclusive collection of luxury suites, with historic features woven into contemporary design.

    For us, great hotel development isn't about erasing the past. It's about giving it a new purpose.

    And location matters just as much as the building. We want our hotels to feel connected to the neighbourhoods around them, reflecting the creativity, culture and character of Copenhagen.

  • WE CREATE

    At Brøchner Hotels, we create more than places to sleep. We create places to meet, connect, celebrate, unwind and feel completely at home. Whether you're checking in for the weekend or simply dropping by for a drink.

    Every detail plays its part. Carefully curated Danish furniture, bespoke interiors, thoughtful lighting, distinctive scents and music that sets just the right mood. Nothing is there by accident. Well, almost nothing.

    And then there are the experiences.

    Our signature organic breakfast, Because Mornings Matter. Complimentary Wine Hour and Nightcap Hour for hotel guests. Lively bars, intimate music events and social spaces that welcome locals just as warmly as travellers.

    But the real difference? The people behind it all.

    Our hosts bring every experience to life with genuine warmth, personality and attention. No stiff formalities. No unnecessary fuss. Just hospitality that feels personal.

  • WE RETHINK

    WE DON'T DO ORDINARY.
    It's more than a tagline. It's how we see hospitality.

    At Brøchner Hotels, we challenge the expected. The way a hotel looks. The way it feels. The way you're welcomed

    Forget anonymous spaces and one-size-fits-all experiences. We believe every hotel should have a personality, every neighbourhood should play a part and every guest should feel welcome.

    That's why our boutique hotels in Copenhagen bring together bold design, unexpected details, complimentary Wine Hour, Nightcap Hour and social spaces that invite you to stay a little longer.

    And you don't even need a room key to join us. Drop by for breakfast, meet friends for drinks or discover one of our music events.

    We're not interested in doing things differently just for the sake of it. We do it because we believe hospitality can be more personal, more inspiring and a lot more memorable.

  • WE CARE

    As a B-Corp Certified hotel group, we're committed to making responsible choices that consider our guests, our people, our local communities and the planet.

    From carefully selected partnerships and thoughtful sourcing to community initiatives and more responsible ways of running our hotels, we're constantly looking for opportunities to do better.

    And because Copenhagen is our home, we believe in taking care of the neighbourhoods and people around us. Through initiatives like PASS IT ON and TRASH IT TOGETHER, we bring people together to support local communities, give useful items a second life and help keep Copenhagen clean.

    Are we finished? Not even close.

    We believe responsible hospitality is an ongoing commitment to keep questioning, improving and making better choices. One step at a time.
