Dog-friendly hotels in Copenhagen

34 verified hotels · Last updated August 2026

Copenhagen is an easy city to stay in with a dog. Most hotels here allow them, a good number make a genuine fuss of them, and the ones that don’t tend to say so plainly rather than surprising you at check-in.

The problem isn’t finding a hotel that permits dogs. It’s that “pets allowed” on a booking site covers everything from a boutique hotel that leaves a bowl by the bed to a chain that won’t let the dog out of your sight. The filter tells you nothing about which one you’re getting.

So this is the list of 34 places we’ve checked in Copenhagen, with what each is actually like with a dog beside you — the neighbourhood, the walk from the front door, and whether the room suits a dog that settles or one that doesn’t.

What to check before you book

Four things decide whether a stay works, and none of them appear on a booking site’s dog-friendly filter.

The fee, and how it’s charged. Some hotels charge nothing. Some charge per night, some per stay. Over five nights the difference is not small — always confirm when booking rather than at check-in.

The size limit. Plenty of Copenhagen hotels welcome dogs up to a certain weight and quietly stop there. If you have a big dog, ask first.

Whether you can leave the dog in the room. This is the one that catches people out. Many hotels allow dogs but not unattended dogs, which rules out dinner unless you’ve planned for it. Apartment-style hotels are generally more relaxed about it than traditional ones.

What’s outside the front door. A hotel can be perfect and still be wrong if the nearest grass is fifteen minutes away and your dog needs out at six. We’ve noted this for every hotel here, because it decides whether a stay is restful or a logistical exercise.

Where to stay, by what suits your dog

If you’re staying more than a few nights — apartment hotels

The most underrated option in the city. Full kitchens, more room to spread out, and staff who are generally relaxed about a dog being in the room while you’re out. If your dog is settled and you’re here for a week, start here.

Charlottehaven in Østerbro — serviced apartments with a pool and a café, quiet enough for a sensitive dog, with the parks on the doorstep. Apēron Apartment Hotel in the city centre is minimal and bright, good for self-catering. Residence Inn Copenhagen Nordhavn has full kitchens and sea views. Zoku Copenhagen out at Tårnby is loft-style and built for longer stays — also the one to know if you have an early flight. Numa Copenhagen Nørrebro is smart and independent. Bryggen Guldsmeden on Islands Brygge is sustainable and relaxed, with green paths and sea air outside.

If your dog needs green space first thing

The Huxley and Hotel Sanders are both minutes from Kongens Have, which makes for the same easy loop every morning. Hotel Kong Arthur and Scandic Copenhagen sit by the lakes. Hotel Østerport is a short walk from Kastellet. Scandic Falkoner puts you in Frederiksberg’s quieter corners. Rye115 Hotel is tucked among Østerbro’s green pockets.

If you’d rather be by the water

Copenhagen Admiral Hotel and 71 Nyhavn Hotel are both converted warehouses on the water, with the city’s best walking routes starting at the door. Copenhagen Strand and Scandic Front are close by. Out in Nordhavn, Comwell Copenhagen Portside and Fairfield by Marriott have long, empty promenades — ideal for a dog that wants to move properly. 25hours Hotel Paper Island sits on the harbour in Christianshavn.

If you want design, and your dog doesn’t mind an audience

Villa Copenhagen, Nobis Hotel Copenhagen, Herman K, the Radisson Collection Royal Hotel and 25hours Hotel Indre By are all confident, design-led places in or near the centre. Busy lobbies, and generally very relaxed about a dog walking through them.

If you want somewhere gentler — boutique and eco

The three Guldsmeden hotels — Babette in the city centre, Bryggen on Islands Brygge and 66 Guldsmeden in Vesterbro — are individually decorated, organic-minded and consistently the easiest hotels in the city to arrive at with a dog. Hotel SKT. Annæ is quietly tucked behind Nyhavn. Manon Les Suites in Nørrebro is the outlier: a Balinese-inspired place with a central pool that feels more like a holiday than a hotel.

If you’re watching the budget

Go Hotel City on Amager, Comfort Hotel Vesterbro, Mercur Hotel and Generator Copenhagen. Generator is a hostel and it’s lively — good for a confident dog, wrong for a nervous one, and private rooms only.

And the grand one

Nimb Hotel, inside Tivoli Gardens. Dogs are welcome. It suits a calm dog and a quiet type — but if you want to wake up looking at Tivoli, this is the only way to do it.

Common questions

Do Copenhagen hotels allow dogs?

Many do — we’ve verified 34 across the city. Copenhagen is generally relaxed about dogs in hotels compared with most European capitals.

Which Copenhagen hotels are best for a longer stay with a dog?

The apartment hotels: Charlottehaven, Apēron, Residence Inn Nordhavn, Zoku, Numa and Bryggen Guldsmeden. Full kitchens, more room, and usually more relaxed about the dog being in the room while you’re out.

Which neighbourhood should I stay in with a dog?

Østerbro and Nordhavn for space and quiet mornings. Nørrebro and Vesterbro to be among things. The city centre is the most convenient and the least green — fine for a city-used dog, harder for one that needs a run before breakfast.

Are there dog-friendly hotels near Copenhagen airport?

Zoku Copenhagen is in Tårnby, close to the airport, and works well for an early flight or a late arrival.

Do Copenhagen hotels charge for dogs?

Some do and some don’t, and those that charge split between per-night and per-stay. Always confirm when booking.

Can I leave my dog alone in the hotel room?

It varies more than anything else, and it’s the question most worth asking before you book. Apartment-style hotels are generally the most relaxed about it.
