The Rooftop Bar at Hotel Danmark

A Minimalist Sanctuary Above the City

Perched on the 7th floor of the newly reopened boutique Hotel Danmark, The Rooftop Bar is an urban escape designed with classic Scandinavian minimalism. Light wooden decking, comfortable loungers, and simple benches create an airy, uncluttered aesthetic that lets the panoramic views take center stage. The open design welcomes both hotel residents and walk-in visitors, fostering a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere where locals and travelers mingle freely. The intimate capacity of just 50 people ensures an exclusive feel even during busy periods, making it a coveted spot on sunny Copenhagen days.

360-Degree Views and Iconic Landmarks

The bar's greatest asset is its commanding vantage point overlooking central Copenhagen. From this elevated perch, you can trace the city's architectural heritage: the spires of historic buildings, the distinctive silhouette of City Hall, the Royal Danish Theatre on the harbor, and the enchanting Tivoli Gardens. On clear days, the panoramic sweep extends beyond the immediate cityscape, offering a complete visual narrative of Copenhagen's urban landscape. The golden hour transforms the experience into something particularly magical, with warm light illuminating the city's rooftops and waterfront.

Curated Beverages and Seasonal Programming

The bar's beverage program reflects Copenhagen's sophisticated drinking culture. A curated selection includes classic cocktails, an extensive wine list featuring both traditional and distinctive bottles, craft beers, and a special emphasis on champagne and bubbles. The establishment maintains a Black Book selection of unique wines, ensuring variety for repeat visitors. During summer months, Friday nights transform into "Up Sessions on The Rooftop," where live DJs create an energetic weekend atmosphere. Wednesday and Saturday evenings offer a bonus experience: views of Tivoli Gardens' fireworks illuminate the night sky from this prime vantage point.

Location and Accessibility

Situated at Vester Voldgade 89 in Copenhagen's Indre By (Inner City), the bar sits in the heart of old town, surrounded by charming historic architecture and modern developments. The location places you steps away from the National Museum, City Hall, and Tivoli Gardens—Copenhagen's most recognizable landmarks. The neighborhood blends narrow medieval streets with broad avenues and picturesque canals, making the area ideal for exploring before or after your visit. The bar's central position makes it easily accessible from most Copenhagen neighborhoods.

Seasonal Considerations and Practical Details

The rooftop bar operates seasonally, with full service during warmer months. Winter visitors can still enjoy drinks from the hotel's ground-floor bar and bring them to the rooftop terrace, weather permitting. The limited capacity means arriving early on sunny days is essential to secure a good spot. The bar welcomes everyone—hotel guests receive complimentary wine during Wine Hour (5–6 PM) and Nightcap Hour (10–11 PM) daily, while non-guests can purchase drinks and enjoy the same elevated experience.
