Escape to Copenhagen: Luxury Awaits at Hotel Kong Frederik
Escape to Copenhagen: Forget the Fairytale, Embrace the Real at Hotel Kong Frederik (It's Messy, But in the Best Way Possible)
Okay, buckle up, because I'm about to tell you about Hotel Kong Frederik. And let me be clear: this isn't your pristine, picture-perfect Instagram hotel review. This is real. This is honest. This is me, after a whirlwind Copenhagen trip, still half-dreaming about the pastries and trying to translate my frantic notes into something coherent.
First things first: Accessibility. This is BIG for me. Traveling with mobility challenges can be a nightmare, and finding a truly accessible hotel is like finding a unicorn. Hotel Kong Frederik, bless their hearts, generally gets it. They've got an elevator, which is a massive relief. Facilities for disabled guests are listed, but you absolutely need to confirm with them directly about specifics because, well, things can always be a little hit-or-miss. Definitely ask about the bathrooms and the doorways; and if you're bringing assistive devices, just double-check. Don't be afraid to be specific. You're spending good money.
Now, let's talk about the on-site accessible restaurants/lounges. I didn't personally test this out, but the website is kind of vague. Again – call them. Don't just assume. This is where good planning pays off.
Internet Access? Yes! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Hallelujah! Because let's face it, we're all addicted to our phones, and a good Wi-Fi signal is non-negotiable in the 21st century. They also list Internet [LAN] and Internet services. I'm not sure who's still plugging into a wire in this day and age, but hey, options! Wi-Fi in public areas too, so you can Insta-brag about your amazing breakfast even before you get back to your room.
Things to Do / Ways to Relax… Oh, the Relaxation! Okay, this is where Hotel Kong Frederik really shines. The Fitness Center is solid – I didn't use it, because vacation, but it looked legit. More importantly, the Spa! Yes, please. They've got a Sauna, Spa/Sauna, and Steamroom. But honestly, I can't tell you about these yet! I was so overwhelmed with choosing my massage treatment, I didn't even see the sauna, Steam Room! That is a total mistake on my part.
But listen, the massage! Oh, the massage! I spent about three hours in the spa, and I can safely say I emerged a new person. The masseuse was a miracle worker, kneading years of stress from my shoulders. I went for the deep tissue, and felt so wonderful afterwards! I even considered booking a second massage the next day. Okay, maybe I should have. I'm still slightly regretting not double-dipping. But hey, next time.
They have a Pool with a View – I didn't partake, but the photos are tempting. The Footbath could also be a pleasant surprise. They even have a Body Scrub and Body Wrap. Basically, this hotel is a haven for anyone who wants to melt into a puddle of pure bliss.
Cleanliness and Safety: This is where things get a little serious. They've clearly upped their game post-pandemic. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment and Room sanitization opt-out available all sound good. Cashless payment service is another win. They take this seriously. You'll feel safe.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Okay, this is where Copenhagen really shines. Hotel Kong Frederik has a great roster of options. The restaurants, or at least a restaurant, offer A la carte, International cuisine, Western cuisine. I was obsessed with the Breakfast [buffet]! If you're booking, book the breakfast option. It's worth it. There were pastries I am still dreaming of. Seriously, I'm pretty sure I added weight just thinking about them. They also have a Coffee/tea in restaurant, and also a Coffee shop, which is awesome. I also had Soup one day. It was delicious! The Poolside bar looked fun, but it was mostly too chilly for cocktails when I was there.
They also have Room service [24-hour]. That's always a win.
Services and Conveniences: This is where the little details come in. Air conditioning in public area, Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities. They’ve thought of everything, it seems.
For the Kids: I didn't travel with kids, but they have Babysitting service and are Family/child friendly, so it seems like a good option if you're traveling with the nippers. There's also a Kids meal.
Rooms, Rooms, Rooms! Listen: the rooms are lovely. The Air conditioning is a lifesaver in the summer, the Bathrobes are plush, the Blackout curtains are essential for sleeping off jetlag, the Coffee/tea maker is your best friend in the morning (or, you know, at 3 PM, when you crash from all the sightseeing). They have Free bottled water, and the Wi-Fi [free] is a constant plus. There's a Desk to plan your days, a Mini bar for those late-night cravings, and a Seating Area to collapse in after a long day.
Getting Around: Airport transfer is available, thankfully. Hotel is also near public transport. They have Car park, Car park [on-site]. The hotel is also located in a very walkable part of Copenhagen.
The Imperfections (Because Let's Be Real):
- The Website: Okay, the website could be clearer about some accessibility details and restaurant options. They're probably working on it, but do your research.
- The Price: Copenhagen is not cheap. Hotel Kong Frederik is a luxury hotel, so expect to pay accordingly. But you're paying for quality, location, and that amazing spa.
The Verdict: Should You Book?
Yes, absolutely.

Luxury Szczecin City Center Apartments: Unbelievable Views & Amenities!
Alrighty, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your sterile, spreadsheet-y itinerary. This is LIFE, Danish style, happening at Hotel Kong Frederik, and you're along for the messy, glorious ride. Prepare for potential chaos, unexpected delights, and my unfiltered thoughts on everything.
Day 1: Arrival, Anxiety, and Artichokes (Possibly too many Artichokes)
14:00 - Arrival & Panic in the Lobby: Okay, first things first. Getting to Copenhagen was a whole thing. Let's just say connecting flights and my luggage had a dramatic breakup. Turns out, my stylish carry-on (that I meticulously packed, mind you) was not allowed to hold all the essentials (like emergency chocolate). The Hotel Kong Frederik? Absolutely stunning. Seriously. That lobby is elegant - I'm pretty sure I nearly tripped on my own feet because I was so busy gawking. Now, to find the courage to figure out that super-fancy elevator system. Wish me luck!
15:00 - Room Reconnaissance & Happy Tears (Maybe Just Warm Eyes): The room! Oh, gods, the room! King-sized bed (score!), a view of… something vaguely charming, and… wait for it… a soaking tub! I may or may not have let out a tear. Or maybe two. Or perhaps just a slight watering of the eyes related to stress over luggage that’s now likely lost in the ether. A quick unpack (what is in the carry-on?!) and a desperate search for that emergency chocolate.
16:00 - First Wander & Accidental Artichoke Overdose: Okay, deep breaths. Time to explore. Armed with a scribbled map and a questionable grasp of Danish, I ventured forth. The area around the hotel is teeming with life! Cobblestone streets, colorful buildings – it's a postcard come to life. Found a charming little bistro, Cafe A-B. Now, I ordered a simple salad, but the waiter, bless his heart, insisted I try their artichokes. I'm a pushover, so OF COURSE I did. Suddenly, I'm swimming in artichoke hearts. I'm not sure if I'm enjoying them or if I'm starting to become an artichoke. It's going to be a long week.
18:00 - Pre-Dinner Drinks & Desperate Journaling: Back at the hotel. I've retreated (defeated? triumphant? Perhaps both!) to my room. I've procured a massive gin and tonic from the bar (needed after that artichoke situation, you know?). I have my journal, which is rapidly turning into a diary of existential angst and food pronouncements. Tonight: Dinner! The hotel restaurant, what is it called? Oh yes… it's called "Restaurant" which I must say is creative!
19:30 - The Restaurant (and the waiter who understands my misery): The food. It was exquisite. The steak? Melt-in-your-mouth. The wine? Flowing freely. The waiter? He saw the panic in my eyes -- the sheer terror of being a solo traveler battling an ocean of unknown food and language. He brought me a miniature dessert -- a tiny chocolate cake because I needed it. He looked at me and said, "you've had a day, haven't you." Bless that man. 10/10.
21:00 - Sleep & The Curse of Jet Lag: Bedtime. My eyelids are screaming, but my brain is wired from the excitement. Hopefully, tomorrow, I wake up fresh and without a weird artichoke obsession.
Day 2: Palaces, Paintings, and the Perils of Public Transportation
09:00- Brunch At Restaurant: The breakfast buffet at Hotel Grand Frederik is worthy of the gods. They had everything I was dreaming of (and even more!). I ate so much I'm convinced I need to exercise.
10:00 - Amalienborg Palace & The Royal Guard in Action: Okay, so the Royal Guard. I wasn't sure what to expect, honestly. Picture me: a giggling, awe-struck tourist trying not to trip over myself while watching the changing of the guard. It was… well, let's just say I developed a sudden, intense appreciation for perfectly synchronized marching. It was magnificent, even if I did get a little too close to a very stern-looking guard. I think I might have giggled at him because I thought he was cute. He wasn't amused.
12:30 - Rosenborg Castle & The Crown Jewels (Gasp!): This place! The castle itself is beautiful, but the crown jewels? Seriously, you guys. I stood there, slack-jawed, staring at these things that cost more than my entire life. The bling! It was a religious experience. I even took a deep breath and closed my eyes and imagined I was royalty. Turns out, it makes me feel like I should quit.
14:00 - The National Gallery & The Art That Made Me Wanna Cry (in a good way, mostly): Spent hours at the National Gallery. Lost track of time completely. The art was magnificent. I swear, I could feel the emotions pouring off the paintings. I actually got a little teary in front of a particularly moving portrait. It was powerful. It was exhausting. It was everything. On the way out, I bought a postcard of the painting I had cried in front of.
17:00 - Public Transportation Fiasco & Near-Miss Meltdown: Okay, public transportation in Copenhagen? It's great… when it works. Today? Not so much. I boarded the wrong bus, ended up completely lost, and almost had a full-blown panic attack. I ended up having to call my mom. Ugh. Finally, got back to the hotel, and I'm now hiding in my room, nursing a large glass of wine and trying to recover. Send help.
19:00 - Re-evaluating Life (and Ordering Room Service): Room service! Bless the hotel kitchen. I ordered a simple plate of cheese and crackers. I sat on my comfy bed, watching the news (in a language I barely understood) and contemplating the meaning of life. I felt so relaxed and ready to face the evening. Okay, maybe I just needed a nap.
21:00 - Bedtime, and the looming shadow of lost luggage: Another day, another bedtime. I'll need to start planning my next adventure, but first, I need to find my luggage.
Day 3: Canal Adventures, Carlsberg (and Tears of Joy!)
10:00 - Breakfast - AGAIN! The breakfast buffet is amazing again. Today, I loaded up on pastries and pretended I didn't see the calories.
11:00 - Canal Tour & The City from the Water: Okay, this was magic. Pure, unadulterated, Copenhagen-tinted magic. The canals, the colorful buildings lining the water, the little boats… it was just gorgeous. I took a million photos (as one does), and even managed to avoid falling in. It was so peaceful and romantic.
13:00 - Carlsberg Brewery & The Tears. Yeah, I'll admit it. I adore beer. And Carlsberg? Legendary. The tour was fascinating, the history was amazing. But at the end, when they gave us the beer? I may or may not have shed a tear. Of pure, unadulterated, happiness. The taste! The coldness! The simple perfection! I then ordered a beer and a pizza from the restaurant. I felt like I had found my happiness and I was happy.
16:00 - Shopping for Stuff (and Regretting It Later): Copenhagen is a shopper's paradise! Or it is when you can afford it. I went into a few shops and bought souvenirs. I found a few things that I would need, like a new bag to hold all these souvenirs… I had to start being smart with my money.
19:00 - Dinner: The Hotel Restaurant AGAIN (Because, Why Not?): I just can't resist. And the service is so good. Tonight, I'm going to order something adventurous. And maybe another dessert.
21:00 - Bedtime and the knowledge that this trip is ending.
Day 4: Reflections, Departure, and the (Maybe) Returned Luggage!
09:00 - Last Breakfast, and The Dread of Leaving: Ugh. Departure day. I don't want to leave! This hotel, this city… I'm already feeling the post-vacation blues. The breakfast helped a little.
10:00 - More panic in the coffee shop. I need to order coffee. I don't know what is happening, but things were happening fast, and I was now panicking again.
11:00 - Packing, Praying, and the Luggage Miracle: Packing. Ugh again. Praying the luggage situation will change and the plane won't be late. And
Escape to Copenhagen & Hotel Kong Frederik: Ask Me Anything (and I'll Probably Over-Share)
Okay, spill the beans! Is Hotel Kong Frederik REALLY as fancy as it looks online?
Alright, fine. You want the *truth*? Look, the website? Gorgeous photos, perfectly staged lighting... blabla. The reality? It’s… well, it's close. Like, *really* close. Picture this: I walked into the lobby, and my jaw legit dropped. The chandeliers! The velvet! My inner magpie almost hyperventilated. BUT… (and there's always a but, right?)… the *hallways*? They’re a little… let’s say “cozy.” Kinda narrow. My suitcase and I had a tango of epic proportions on the first day. It was less "elegant arrival" and more "graceful stumble." So, yes, fancy. But not *perfectly* picture-perfect. And honestly? That kinda made it more charming. It’s got character, dammit!
The breakfast! I'm all about the food. Was it worth the hype?
Breakfast… *deep, reverent sigh*. Okay, so, I’m a breakfast person. I LIVE for the morning meal. And Hotel Kong Frederik's breakfast? It was… an experience. Think: a buffet that stretches the length of a small car, overflowing with pastries that whispered sweet nothings to my carb-loving soul. The scrambled eggs? Fluffy clouds of eggy goodness. The smoked salmon? Seriously, I think I single-handedly kept the salmon industry afloat for the duration of my stay. HOWEVER... Look, my stomach did a happy dance every morning. It was glorious. Don't expect a Michelin Star, but do expect a breakfast that will make you want to crawl back into bed to enjoy it all over again. And I may or may not have snuck a croissant (or three) for later. Don't judge me.
What about the location? Is it actually convenient?
Location, location, location! Hotel Kong Frederik is nestled right in the heart of things. Honestly, it's ridiculously well-placed. You’re practically tripping over cool cafes, shops, and, oh yeah, the *actual* city center. I swear, I walked everywhere! Everything was so close. I mean, one second I was gazing at the Little Mermaid (yes, I did it, don't judge), and the next I was indulging in some serious retail therapy. It really does make exploring Copenhagen a breeze. And being able to pop back to the hotel to escape the crowds for a bit? Priceless. Seriously, a lifesaver after a particularly intense shopping session. My feet still thank me.
The rooms! Paint me a picture. Cozy? Spacious? Luxurious? What's the deal?
Rooms... Okay, let's go there. Mine (and I *think* they vary slightly, so take this with a grain of salt) was… lovely. Definitely more on the cozy side, which, for me, is a good thing. I don’t need a ballroom, I need a sanctuary from the world (and my own chaotic self). The bed, though? Oh my GOD, the bed. It swallowed me whole every night. I swear I slept for hours. The decor was stylish, with that chic Scandinavian minimalist thing going on. Clean lines, calming colours, generally vibe of "Ahhh, I can breathe." The bathroom was… functional. Not huge. Did the job. Plenty of hot water. I probably had a *slightly* too-enthusiastic shower experience (oops). But overall, a very comfortable and aesthetically pleasing space. Just don't expect a palace. Expect a really, really nice room.
Did you find any hidden gems or secret spots nearby? Give me the insider scoop!
Okay, listen up, because I'm about to spill the tea. Forget the obvious tourist traps, I found a *gem*. Right down the street from the hotel? A tiny little bakery called "Lagkagehuset." (Google it, you won't regret it). Their pastries? *chef's kiss*. Like, seriously, I dream about those pastries. And their coffee was amazing. It became my morning ritual. Another thing? Wander into the side streets. Seriously. That's where you'll find the real Copenhagen. Small, quirky shops, hidden courtyards, gorgeous architecture. Just allow yourself to get lost. Don't be afraid to wander aimlessly. Trust me, you'll stumble upon something magical. I swear by the bakery. Just go. Go now. Before they run out of cinnamon swirls. Seriously, don't delay.
Any downsides? Be brutally honest!
Okay, here comes the honesty bomb. The biggest downside? The *price*. Let's not sugarcoat it. Hotel Kong Frederik is not exactly budget-friendly. My bank account is still weeping. Also, the elevators? Small. Like, really, really small. I'm not afraid of enclosed spaces, but with a suitcase and other guests? It could get a little… intimate. And, okay, the lighting in my room was a bit dim. I had to squint to read at night (first world problems, I know). And, maybe, *maybe*, the air conditioning wasn't quite up to snuff on one particularly warm day. (I'm talking like, 2 seconds of discomfort, mind you). But honestly? Those are really the only complaints I can come up with. And let's be real, I'd go back in a heartbeat. Just, ya know, maybe I'll start saving *now* for my next trip. And bring a flashlight.
Describe one specific, memorable experience you had at the hotel. Go deep!
Okay, buckle up, because this is the one. The *moment*. The memory that's burned into my brain. It was late afternoon. I'd spent the entire day exploring, my feet were killing me, I was slightly delirious from sheer beauty overload, and I was *starving*. I wandered back to the hotel, just desperate for a moment of respite before dinner. I collapsed on a plush velvet chair in the lobby, which, let's be real, is a perfect place to collapse, and that's when it happened. I ordered room service (because, duh), and, oh my god. It was just a simple club sandwich, but I swear it was the most delicious thing I'd ever eaten. The bread was toasted to perfection, the chicken was juicy, the bacon was crisp, and the *mayo*… it was the perfect mayo. It was this moment of pure, simple, unadulterated *bliss*. And a waiter, with a super-charming smile, quietly went about his work as I ate. I'm probably still smiling, recalling this experience. It was like a perfect little bubble of happiness in the middle of all the travel chaos. It’s not a grand gesture, but it was *perfect*. It’s those small details. The level of service. The perfect sandwich after an exhausting day. ThatPersonalized Stays
