25hours Hotels open a second hotel in Copenhagen on the waterfront

Opening with the flair of a Scandinavian holiday home at the heart of Copenhagen, 25hours’ “sommerhus” is located on the island of Christiansholm.

25hours Hotel Paper Island finds its new home just a few steps away from the colourful houses of Nyhavn, in an eye-catching new build with 128 rooms, an Asian restaurant, a day bar and a rooftop bar is situated in the city centre on the island of Christiansholm, also known as Paper Island.

For a long time, the island in Copenhagen Harbour was used as a paper warehouse, and in more recent times, the location of a well-known street food market. The Royal Opera House is located on the neighbouring island. Contrasting deliberately with the hustle and bustle of the city centre, the latest 25hours Hotel adopts the ambience of a quintessentially Danish summer home – with an unwavering focus on rest and recuperation.

That Hygge feeling, in the heart of Copenhagen

The ensemble of buildings, planned by the local COBE architects, gains a special aura from its island location – an aura the creative minds behind the interior design, Swedish studio Stylt Trampoli, were clearly inspired by. Islands evoke a sense of longing and a yearning for holidays and Paper Island’s unique blend of unspoilt nature and urban lifestyle served as inspiration for the hotel design, reminding visitors of a stay in a Scandinavian holiday home. Natural colours and materials are juxtaposed beautifully with the comings and goings of city life. However, there is also a definite focus on nostalgic elements and collected objects that seem like a legacy of bygone ages with their very own tales to tell. The result is a hotel with 128 rooms ranging from Medium to Gigantic categories, six with their own private outdoor areas. The ground floor of 25hours Hotel Paper Island has function rooms for groups of up to 150.

With its location directly in the harbour, the hotel perfectly embodies the unique character of Copenhagen. Our guests can enjoy that special hygge feeling, far from the madding crowd of the city centre, but with direct access via a bridge for pedestrians and cyclists.
