Ottilia Heritage revealed: A grand suite experience rooted in Copenhagen's brewery history
Brøchner Hotels unveils Ottilia Heritage - an exclusive extension of Hotel Ottilia, where historic grand suites, Danish craftsmanship and curated experiences, including access to AIRE Ancient Baths, redefine luxury in Copenhagen's Carlsberg City District.
Brøchner Hotels now opens Ottilia Heritage, a one-of-a-kind luxury experience set within a historic landmark in Copenhagen's vibrant Carlsberg City District. Housed in the former Maltmagasinet from 1881, a listed brewery building once central to the production of Carlsberg beer, Ottilia Heritage introduces 14 exquisite grand suites where history unfolds in redefined luxury.
Ottilia Heritage marks the next chapter in the story of Carlsberg's legendary brewery buildings. A true tribute to the heritage of the iconic structure, its historic surroundings and the legacy of Hotel Ottilia, the experience is conceived as an exclusive extension - seamlessly connected, yet distinctly its own.
WHERE HISTORY IS SHOWCASED
Inside, Ottilia Heritage unfolds like an exclusive art gallery of history, where every detail tells a story of steel, grain and malt. Nestled within the preserved brewery building, none of the 14 grand suites are alike. Each is designed as a private design masterpiece, inspired by the building's heritage and shaped around what Brøchner Hotels refers to as the '3 Danish Icons'.
The three suite types - The Heritage Suite, The Silo Suite and The Elephant Suite - each pay tribute to key architectural and historical elements of Carlsberg's legacy. From original silos integrated as architectural centerpieces to views of the iconic Elephant Gate, the suites transform historic features into defining design elements.
The grand suites boast spectacular open-plan spaces with arched windows and lofty vaulted ceilings, where listed elements are creatively incorporated into the interior alongside custom-made furniture. Designed by Morten Hedegaard and Mette Fredskild in collaboration with Brøchner Hotels, the interiors follow a minimalist design approach, allowing the building's original industrial installations to stand out as statement pieces.

REUSE AS REFINED CRAFTMANSHIP
To further honor the building's legacy, signature wood sourced from the original structure plays a central role throughout the suites. Discarded Douglas fir floorboards supplied by Dinesen have been carefully preserved and reused, now forming bespoke bed frames and custom-made closets. The furniture has been handcrafted by Danish joinery Blinkenberg, where visible joints and natural wood grain are intentionally left exposed, celebrating both material honesty and craftsmanship.
ART, COMFORT AND CONTEMPORARY LUXURY
Ottilia Heritage also presents an exclusive exhibition of 18 sculptures by Danish sculptor Hanne Varming, placed seamlessly throughout corridors and within the grand suites. Created between 1963 and 2015, the works portray everyday moments and figures from Danish cultural life, adding a curated artistic layer to the experience.
Each grand suite includes a selection of exclusive in-room luxuries, such as air conditioning, espresso capsule machine, soft slippers, curated amenities and a complimentary, fully stocked minibar, allowing guests to enjoy refined comfort in complete privacy.

AN EXCLUSIVE EXTENSION WITH ADDED EXPERIENCE
