Pet-Friendly Family Hotels in Copenhagen
5 family-friendly hotels with pet friendly in Copenhagen . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Copenhagen is one of the easiest cities in Europe to visit with both kids and a dog. Almost every park (Frederiksberg Have, Kongens Have, Søndermarken) has off-leash dog areas, the lakes around the city centre give you a 6km flat walk you can do with a stroller and a labrador, and the metro accepts dogs free outside rush hour. The five hotels below all welcome dogs as part of the family booking, four of them stock pet bowls and a pet basket in the room, and every one has either a quiet street location or a sheltered courtyard for the morning bathroom break. Three are in Vesterbro / Frederiksberg (best for the parks), one is by Tivoli, and one sits in Østerbro five minutes from the lakes.
Copenhagen is built for dogs in a way few capitals are. Off-leash hours apply in most parks before 9am and after 9pm; cafés routinely set out water bowls without being asked; and the bike paths along the Søerne (the Lakes) are wide enough for one parent to push the stroller while the other walks the dog without ever getting in cyclists' way. Summer evenings on Islands Brygge harbour bath are full of families with their dogs lounging on the boardwalk; winter mornings around Frederiksberg Have feel almost like a country park.
🐕Why Copenhagen is a Great Family Dog Trip
All five hotels here charge a flat pet fee per stay (€15-30 typically) and provide pet bowls and a basket in the room. None of them require a dog crate at any point. Two (1 Hotel and Charlottehaven) have grass courtyards big enough for the morning toilet stop without leaving the property. Villa Copenhagen, Nimb and Hypernym are within 100m of either Tivoli's gardens or the Søerne, so the morning walk is built into the location.
What to expect from the welcome desk: every reception speaks fluent English, asks for the dog's name on check-in, and most will email you in advance with the pet fee and the closest park map. Some (1 Hotel, Villa) keep a small bag of treats behind the desk; others will direct you to Bager Brogården or Lagkagehuset for excellent dog-friendly café terraces. Breakfast service is dog-friendly at all five hotels for the outdoor terrace; indoor seating depends on staff and crowd, ask at check-in.
Parent's take
The unbeatable combination is a Frederiksberg or Vesterbro base (Villa Copenhagen, Nimb) plus an early morning loop of the Søerne with the dog before the kids wake up. By the time the family is at breakfast, the dog has had its 5km, the kids feel like they're on holiday in a cycling-friendly city, and you've still got the whole day for the Little Mermaid, Tivoli and the Christiansborg tower.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Copenhagen with pet friendly, sorted by guest rating.
1 Hotel Copenhagen
Indre By
Wonderful
401 reviews
1 Hotel Copenhagen sits in the Latin Quarter with a full Bamford wellness spa and a rooftop pool overlooking the old town. The design leans sustainable and biophilic, and family rooms come with extra beds on request.
From
€2723/night
Why families love 1 Hotel Copenhagen
The rooftop pool is the headline here, and it is open to all guests. Kids are allowed in during daytime hours, then the adult-only wellness spa downstairs takes over in the evening for parents wanting a sauna and a massage. The rooms are big by Copenhagen standards, often with room for a cot plus a pull-out sofa. Stroget shopping street and Rundetaarn are both a five-minute walk, so nobody is stuck in a taxi.
Nimb Hotel
Inside Tivoli Gardens, city centre
Wonderful
620 reviews
A five-star boutique hotel inside Tivoli Gardens with 38 suites, a rooftop pool and unlimited Tivoli access for guests. Family rooms face either the park rollercoaster or the Moorish-palace facade.
From
€595/night
Why families love Nimb Hotel
The single biggest reason parents pick Nimb: guests get unlimited Tivoli entry through a private gate, meaning kids can run back to the room for a nap or swimsuit change without re-paying 160 DKK each. Tivoli is essentially Copenhagen's public playground and it opens at 11am. The family rooms above the entrance face the rollercoaster (loud until 10pm in summer) while interior suites face the garden courtyard and stay quiet. Breakfast is lavish but starts at 7am, which matters if your kids are up early.
Hypernym Hotel & Suites
City Centre
Wonderful
500 reviews
Hypernym Hotel & Suites is a boutique aparthotel 3 minutes walk from Tivoli Gardens. Suites range from studios to two-bedroom family units with full kitchens, washing machines, and separate living rooms. The property offers babysitting on request and a kid-friendly breakfast buffet with Danish staples.
From
€745/night
Why families love Hypernym Hotel & Suites
The 3-minute walk to Tivoli is what sold us. Kids on the edge of a meltdown? Back to the room in under 10 minutes. Our two-bedroom suite had a real kitchen, a washing machine that got used daily, and enough space for the 6-year-old to scatter Lego across the living room floor. The breakfast buffet is smaller than a chain hotel but everything is Danish and good. Babysitting arranged for our anniversary dinner worked out perfectly.
Charlottehaven
Copenhagen
Wonderful
667 reviews
Charlottehaven is a four-star apart-hotel in Østerbro with kitchenette-equipped suites that fit a cot plus a full changing area. The hotel has an indoor pool open until 10pm, fitness centre, and a garden that parents use for pram walks in the evening. Baby toiletries on request. 15 minutes to centre by metro.
From
€362/night
Why families love Charlottehaven
Charlottehaven was the logistical winner of our trip. The kitchenette meant we could sterilise bottles and warm milk ourselves. The wooden cot they provided was a full cot, not a fold-out, which made a huge difference to our baby's sleep. The pool is useable for toddlers under parent supervision. Østerbro is quiet, and the metro stop Østerport is 8 minutes walk. The suite had an en-suite washing machine which we used for nappy mishaps. Not the most central but the extras justify the tram ride.
Villa Copenhagen
Copenhagen
Excellent
1,384 reviews
Villa Copenhagen is a five-star in a converted 1912 post office, with large rooms fit for a cot plus a dedicated children's programme and indoor courtyard pool. Baby essentials can be pre-ordered for delivery to the room. Tivoli Gardens is a 10-minute walk, Central Station 5 minutes.
From
€459/night
Why families love Villa Copenhagen
Villa Copenhagen was our splurge choice and it paid off. The room was huge, enough for a proper cot plus a changing area and room to push the pram around. The indoor courtyard pool was a treat for a rainy afternoon with our toddler (just out of the baby phase). Tivoli is a short walk, handy after naptime. The concierge arranged a taxi with a car seat for our airport transfer, booked 12 hours in advance. Breakfast was excellent and the highchair was real wood, not plastic.
💡Tips for Travelling to Copenhagen With Kids and a Dog
- 1Book the room with the dog declared at the time of reservation, not on arrival. Copenhagen pet-friendly rooms are usually a specific subset of the inventory (ground floor, easy outdoor access), and on busy weekends they fill up first. Confirm by email with the hotel a week before arrival.
- 2Bring a folded crate even if the hotel doesn't require it. Useful for the breakfast hour when one parent takes the kids down and the dog needs to settle calmly in the room. The Hypernym and Locke styles of apartment-hotel make this easier than a classic boutique room.
- 3Use Copenhagen's metro and S-train freely outside rush hour. Dogs travel free between 9am-3.30pm and after 5.30pm, with no muzzle requirement; you'll see locals doing this every weekend. Inside rush hour, buy a child ticket and travel calmly.
- 4Plan one Frederiksberg Have morning. The off-leash dog area at the south end of the park is the social heart of dog Copenhagen; kids love watching the dogs run, the chestnut alley is buggy-flat, and the café at the orangery does excellent buns. It's a 15-minute walk from any of the Vesterbro hotels.
- 5Pick up after your dog (and bring extra bags). Copenhagen is famously clean and the social pressure to clean up is real. Hotel reception will give you a roll of bags on request, but bring twice what you think you need - long days mean long walks.
