Interiors by Gert Wingårdh and Wingårdh Arkitekter

The historic building at Niels Brocks Gade 1 is being transformed into a cutting-edge contemporary luxury hotel by Wingårdh Arkitekter, Sweden’s most celebrated architectural firm, under the leadership of star architect Gert Wingårdh, who previously designed the interiors of the Miss Clara Hotel in Stockholm for the Nobis Hospitality Group, which opened in 2013.

“It’s a privilege to work with this fantastic building in such a great location,” says Gert Wingårdh. “Danish classicism, of which this building is a fine example, is something special — highly sophisticated, yet more understated than its Swedish counterpart. In the main building, we’ve taken a delicate and respectful approach, emphasising every detail of the original architecture and décor, whilst incorporating high-quality natural materials such as various marbles, stone, wood and glass, with a subtle colour palette, accentuated by beautiful deep greens.”

“With the adjoining annexe from the 1960s, which houses Restaurant NOI, we’ve allowed ourselves greater architectural freedom,” adds Wingårdh. “In keeping with the rhythm of the signature glass façade, we have drawn inspiration from Le Corbusier’s La Tourette Dominican monastery from the late 1950s, with its boldly elegant lines. I think there is something of a connection between this style of updated late 1950s modernism and turn-of-the-20th-century classicism.”

In the interior design of Nobis Hotel Copenhagen, Wingårdh Arkitekter has worked with a set of core values important to the Nobis Hospitality Group. Authenticity, honesty, quality, care and richness of detail are some of these key virtues. The building’s imposing sense of space and elaborate, elegant detailing lend the interiors a natural grandeur.

Rooms and Suites

Nobis Hotel Copenhagen offers 75 rooms and suites, set within a historic 1903 landmark that was once home to the Royal Danish Academy of Music. Each room blends classic Danish architecture with modern Scandinavian design, shaped by Wingårdh Arkitekter

The 75 rooms and suites are spread across four floors, with views overlooking either the city streets or the courtyard.

Our 38 Superior Rooms measure 18 sqm (193 sq ft) and are situated from the ground floor to the second floor. On the third floor, we have 10 cosy Superior Loft Rooms with sloping ceilings.

Our 14 Deluxe Rooms measure 22 sqm (236 sq ft) and are situated from the ground floor to the third floor.

We have 6 Junior Suites measuring 40 sqm (430 sq ft), all situated at the corners of the building. These suites feature a lounge area and are renowned for their bathrooms, which are fully clad in Italian Bardiglio marble from floor to ceiling.

On the third floor, our 4 Junior Loft Suites offer the same suite experience but with sloping ceilings that create a more intimate ‘hygge’ and an authentic Copenhagen apartment feel.

Our two Penthouse Suites, each measuring 98 sqm (1,050 sq ft), are situated on the fourth floor, offering views overlooking some of Copenhagen’s most iconic landmarks: the Glyptotek, Tivoli Gardens and City Hall. Both Penthouse Suites have access to a fully equipped Superior Room connected to them on the third floor below.

Our grand Nobis Suite measures 91 sqm (980 sq ft) and is situated on the second floor. The suite is designed as one large, open-plan space, with a bespoke wardrobe subtly separating the living area from the bedroom.

It features a spacious bathroom finished in Bardiglio marble and two toilets. The Nobis Suite has four large windows overlooking the city and the Glyptoteket.

The rooms and suites at Nobis Hotel Copenhagen combine historic Danish classicism with contemporary Scandinavian design.

Natural materials such as marble, stone, wood, leather and glass are used throughout the hotel, chosen for their quality and ability to age gracefully over time. Nordic design classics are combined with selected European design brands and bespoke furniture, lighting and textiles designed exclusively for Nobis Hotel Copenhagen, creating interiors that feel personal, comfortable and timeless.

Restaurants and bars

Restaurant NOI

Restaurant NOI is the gastronomic heart of Nobis Hotel Copenhagen, seating 80 guests in an informally elegant dining room designed by Wingårdh Arkitekter under the leadership of Gert Wingårdh. The restaurant is housed in the hotel’s 1960s annex on Niels Brocks Gade, distinguished by a glass and copper façade inspired by Le Corbusier’s La Tourette monastery.

The cuisine at NOI is elegant and comforting, rooted in European culinary traditions and interpreted through the team’s own contemporary approach. The menu changes with the seasons and is built around carefully selected ingredients, with a clear focus on local sourcing and trusted producers.

NOI’s wine list is carefully curated to appeal to both everyday wine drinkers and dedicated enthusiasts. Whilst the selection draws on classic wine regions and producers, NOI also embraces a more contemporary approach — exploring new expressions and lesser-known labels, always with a clear focus on quality.

NOI offers a serene, welcoming atmosphere shaped by thoughtful lighting, music and personalised service. The restaurant attracts both hotel guests and Copenhagen locals, positioning NOI as a destination for dinners, social gatherings and after-work get-togethers.

The name NOI means ‘we’ in Italian and echoes the Latin word nobis, meaning ‘us’ — a subtle reference to togetherness and shared experience.

The Marble Bar

The Marble Bar is situated within Restaurant NOI at Nobis Hotel Copenhagen and serves as a natural extension of the hotel’s social atmosphere. Clad in black marble from floor to ceiling, the bar combines bold architectural lines with a calm and comfortable setting, characterised by soft lighting, reflective surfaces and carefully selected Scandinavian furniture.

The cocktail menu is rooted in craftsmanship and precision, with a focus on modern classics, seasonal ingredients and carefully curated locally produced spirits. Scandinavian influences run throughout the menu, with several cocktails featuring locally produced spirits alongside a selection of Danish beers.

The Marble Bar attracts both hotel guests and Copenhagen locals, creating a relaxed yet lively atmosphere throughout the evening. Whether for an aperitif, a late-night cocktail or informal get-togethers, the bar offers a more intimate and laid-back experience in the heart of Nobis Hotel Copenhagen.

Relaxation Area & Fitness

Nobis Hotel Copenhagen offers a private relaxation area reserved exclusively for hotel guests. The relaxation area is characterised by floor-to-ceiling grey marble, creating a calm and monolithic ambience. ​ The relaxation area includes a dry sauna, a cold-plunge pool and a warm marble stone designed for recovery and relaxation after a day in the city.

The atmosphere is quiet and understated, offering guests a moment of calm in the centre of Copenhagen.

Adjacent to the relaxation area, guests have access to a well-equipped fitness studio featuring training equipment suitable for both strength and cardio workouts.

A gateway to the city – a central location in the Danish capital

Nobis Hotel Copenhagen is situated on Niels Brocks Gade, next to Tivoli Gardens and the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, in the historic centre of the Danish capital. Situated just off H.C. Andersens Boulevard, the hotel is within walking distance of Copenhagen Central Station, City Hall Square, Strøget and some of the city’s leading cultural institutions, restaurants and shopping streets.

The neighbourhood combines historic architecture, museums and canals with cafés and design boutiques.

Guests staying at Nobis Hotel Copenhagen have direct access to both the cultural and social pulse of the city, whilst the hotel’s location offers a peaceful base with easy access to Copenhagen’s various neighbourhoods — from trendy Vesterbro and the waterfront at Islands Brygge to the bustling city centre.

Copenhagen is internationally renowned for its gastronomy, design and quality of life. From the hotel, guests can explore the city on foot or by bicycle, discovering everything from Michelin-starred restaurants and contemporary cocktail bars to fashion, art and Nordic architecture.

The concierge team at Nobis Hotel Copenhagen offers carefully selected recommendations, connecting guests with both well-known attractions and local favourites across the city.

About Nobis Hospitality Group

Alessandro Catenacci is the driving force behind many of Stockholm’s top restaurants, nightclubs and hotels. His Italian name may reveal his Roman origins, but a distinctly Scandinavian sense of luxury is evident in everything Catenacci does. Above all, he hopes to offer guests places where they can feel as comfortable and humbly self-assured as he is. “I sometimes look at myself in the mirror and think, ‘Am I really good at anything, or was it just luck’?”

Back in 1987, Catenacci bought the Stockholm-based restaurant empire belonging to the great Scandinavian chef Tore Wretman – including Café Opera, Operakällaren, the Riche and Stallmästaregården. This shrewd acquisition became the springboard for what now comprises seven top-tier hotels, in addition to the restaurants and nightspots. Catenacci’s ease makes his success appear as though luck were indeed a factor, but it is in fact the result of a long-term vision, hard work and an intuitive business sense.

His company, the Nobis Group, has grown steadily over the more than two decades that have passed since that shrewd deal was struck. In many ways, the conglomerate’s philosophy combines the best of Catenacci’s Italian heritage – a passionate approach to fine food and a keen eye for quality – with the epitome of Scandinavian understatement. ​
