Nyhavn is the row of painted houses along a canal that stands for Copenhagen on every cover, and it is a real place to sleep beside rather than only to photograph. This page holds the four hotels in our reviewed set that stand within four hundred metres of it, measured from the addresses their own sites print. The measurement makes its own point: after these four the next reviewed hotel is 1,256 metres away, so proximity to Nyhavn is a decision with a hard edge rather than a spectrum. It is drawn from the thirteen properties we have reviewed in Copenhagen and is not a ranking of every hotel near the canal.
How we chose
Indre By
The nearest of the four and the only one on the canal itself: a warehouse from 1805 at the seaward end, where Nyhavn opens into the harbour rather than where the tour boats queue.
Indre By
Two hundred and fifty metres north, in a 1787 warehouse on the harbour front. Nyhavn is a five-minute walk and the noise of it is not, which is the trade most people making this search actually want.
Indre By
The same 254 metres, in the other direction: behind the Royal Danish Theatre, on a side street rather than a waterfront, and the smallest of the four.
Indre By
Four hundred metres, and the only one of the four that faces Kongens Nytorv — the square Nyhavn begins at, and the point where the metro crosses.
