The Rooftop Bar at Hotel Danmark
Compact rooftop oasis atop Hotel Danmark, pairing 360-degree Copenhagen views with cocktails, bubbles and golden-hour sunsets above the city’s historic heart.
Perched on the 7th floor of boutique Hotel Danmark, The Rooftop Bar is a compact urban oasis with sweeping 360-degree views over central Copenhagen. Just moments from City Hall, Tivoli Gardens and the National Museum, this open-air terrace pairs Scandinavian minimalist design with lounge seating, cocktails, wine and bubbles. In summer, DJs and sunset light create a relaxed, city-above-the-city atmosphere that feels both local and special.

Local tips
- Aim for golden hour on clear days for the most atmospheric light over Tivoli Gardens, City Hall and the old town spires.
- Arrive early on warm summer evenings; the terrace is small and fills quickly when the weather is good.
- Bring an extra layer, even in summer—the 7th-floor terrace can feel breezy once the sun dips.
- Check seasonal opening of the rooftop; outside summer, you may be able to bring drinks up from the lobby bar instead.
- For photos, walk slowly around the full 360-degree perimeter to capture different angles of Copenhagen’s skyline.

Skyline Terrace Above the Heart of Copenhagen
The Rooftop Bar crowns the boutique Hotel Danmark on Vester Voldgade, right in Copenhagen’s inner city. From the 7th floor, the terrace opens out to a full 360-degree panorama, with spires, rooftops and modern landmarks unfolding in every direction. To one side you glimpse Tivoli Gardens and the City Hall tower; to another, the National Museum and the patchwork of historic streets that define the old town. Despite its central address, the space feels tucked away above the city’s noise. The bar is compact, with capacity for only a limited number of guests, creating an intimate, almost secret hideout for sundowners and late-afternoon lingering when the weather cooperates.Scandinavian Minimalism in the Open Air
Design here leans into classic Scandinavian minimalism. A light wooden deck runs across the terrace, fitted with simple benches, loungers and small tables that are easy to rearrange for couples, friends or small groups. Clean lines, unfussy materials and low-profile furniture keep the focus on the sky and the skyline rather than the décor. Subtle greenery and the occasional potted plant soften the space, while glass and low railings preserve the views. On clear days, the terrace bathes in natural light from early afternoon until sunset, making sunglasses and an extra layer for the evening breeze useful companions.Drinks with a View: From House Bubbles to Craft Spirits
The Rooftop Bar shares its drinks ethos with the hotel’s lively lobby bar, known for its curated selection of wine, beer, gin and champagne. You can expect well-made classic cocktails, crisp local beers and an emphasis on bubbles, including the hotel’s own-label wine and special bottles highlighted in a so-called black book selection. In summer, service focuses on relaxed, bar-led enjoyment rather than formal dining, so it is a place to linger over drinks and light bites rather than full meals. Guests of the hotel often drift up after the daily Wine Hour and Nightcap Hour downstairs, extending the evening with one more glass under the open sky.Fireworks, Sunsets and Seasonal Energy
The rooftop is strongly shaped by the seasons. On long Nordic summer evenings, the terrace becomes a social, high-energy spot, hosting DJ sessions on selected nights and filling with the soft glow of golden-hour sunlight. When Tivoli Gardens stages its fireworks, this rooftop transforms into a natural viewing platform, with colourful bursts of light rising almost at eye level beyond the city rooftops. Outside the peak summer months, the bar’s opening is more weather dependent. Even when the open-air bar is closed, the terrace may still be accessible to hotel guests, who sometimes bring a drink up from the lobby to enjoy the view wrapped in a coat or blanket.Who Will Enjoy The Rooftop Bar
This is a natural fit for couples in search of a romantic vantage point, solo travellers wanting a calm place to read or reflect, and small groups looking for a stylish pre-dinner or after-dinner drink. With its central location, it also works well as a short sunset stop during a day of museum visits or city wandering. Space is limited, so arriving early on warm, sunny days is wise if you want a front-row seat for the sunset or fireworks. The atmosphere remains casual rather than exclusive, blending hotel guests and locals who come specifically for the view.Practical Notes for Your Visit
The Rooftop Bar is an outdoor terrace, so conditions can be breezy and cool, even in summer. A light jacket is often useful, and flat shoes are more comfortable on the wooden deck and stairs. There is no strict dress code beyond smart-casual city wear. Restrooms are inside the hotel, just below the rooftop level, and mobile reception is generally strong given the central urban location. Expect to spend anywhere from a quick half-hour drink to a couple of hours if you stay for sunset or an evening DJ set, especially in the height of summer.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
