With a plethora of hotels to choose from in Copenhagen, the real question is where to start if you need a centrally located handicap accessible hotel.

From experience you may already know that just as every disability is different, so too is every hotel’s definition of what constitutes “handicap.” So this list is your starting point. You will need to be sure that the hotel’s definition meets your needs by checking with the hotel before you travel, to make sure their definition of handicap-accessible meshes with yours. If you have particular needs, ask about these needs. Don’t assume. You will need a bit more patience perhaps, but it will pay off in your enjoyment level once you arrive.
Centrally Located Handicapped Hotels
Imperial Hotel
The Imperial Hotel is an excellent 4-star hotel just minutes from Tivoli Gardens and the Tycho Brahe Planetarium. The hotel’s rooms have the beautiful clean lines commonly associated with the Dane’s aesthetic, and large light-filled rooms thanks to the high windows. In addition to handicap rooms, you can ask for a hypoallergenic room.
Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Copenhagen
Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Copenhagen‘s cool blond, grey and blue decor recall the 1960s and will immediately give you a sense of calm. The hotel’s primary goal is to give visitors the royal treatment. Once you are certain that this hotel will meet your accessibility needs, relax and enjoy their 24-hour service.
Tivoli Hotel
Perhaps the Tivoli Hotel is the most recognizable name in this group, partly because of the famed gardens that are nearby. In addition to the normal amenities expected at a luxury hotel such as this, there are allergy-friendly rooms, and the hotel is a member of the Automated External Defibrillator network (AED).
Skt. Petri
The Skt. Petri is a boutique hotel close to Tivoli Gardens, the University of Copenhagen, and St. Peter’s Church. It is a 4.5-star hotel in a tranquil Latin Quarter setting in the middle of Copenhagen. Free Wi-Fi, concierge services, and 24-hour room service are available. This is the neighborhood where you’ll find many Danish designers and fashion houses. Parking can be found on the street, and self-parking is available at the hotel.
Scandic Webers
The Scandic Webers has 152 non-smoking rooms, and is a short walk from Copenhagen Central station. There is an on-site restaurant, available Wi-Fi, and a courtyard for people-watching during the summer months if that happens to be your travel time. Architecturally, the hotel is classic but the design and atmosphere is more modern and trendy.
If you are looking for leisure activities such as pub crawls or food tours that are also handicap accessible, there are many ideas here. Again, call ahead to be certain that you can be accommodated. Copenhagen is a cultural mecca. There will be no shortage of festivals for entertainment. To check if any festivals are taking place while you are there, this is where you should look.
