Viray Vacay: 5 Star Copenhagen Spa Hotel - Manon Les Suites
This gorgeous Bali-style spa pool at Manon Les Suites in Copenhagen caught our eye as we were scrolling this week.
@hihellojustine Can’t stop won’t stop posting about this place. I still rewatch my own videos and go oh wow how beautiful 😭🤪 I’m pretty sure you can stay at the Manon Les Suites hotel and use the amenities every single day but I was staying at a different hotel that I loooved (whole separate video if you’re looking for recs!) so I just got a 4 hour day pass for $108 USD. #copenhagen #denmark #manonlessuites #traveltok ♬ amber - STELLA. & pedram
Manon Les Suites Guldsmeden, Copenhagen
Manon Le Suites Guldsmeden is the name of this lush 5 star hotel in Copenhagen which has a beautiful courtyard pool. We would just love a nice soak in here after day of sightseeing!
Their iconic Junglefish Pool is a Bali-inspired heated pool with loads of greenery that give serious jungle vibes. It’s a very tropical escape from a very scandi city.
It’s all suites here, and they’re pretty lush, with warm wooden furniture and cosy textiles – so good luck tearing yourself away every morning to go about your day! As well as the courtyard pool, there’s a steam room and a sauna on the rooftop, with daybeds for lounging.
The hotel is in Nørrebro, about a 15-minute walk from the central train staion and just over 10 minutes’ walk from Torvehallerne food market.
How viral? This TikTok by @hihellojustine has over half a million views!
How much? A suite at Manon Les Suites, which includes spa access, starts at around £250 per night – and climbs to around £550 per night in peak seaon.
If you just want to pop in for the day, a 4-hour spa pass costs £81.
Fancy a cheaper alternative?
Axel Guldsmeden, Copenhagen
The Guldsmeden brand has a few outposts in Copenhagen – and Axel Guldsmeden just might be for you if you’ve got a budget to stick to. You even get the Bali vibes here too.
The hotel spa is just for guests, and there’s an extra charge to use it – £46. That fee gets you access throughout your stay, so the more time you hang out in there, the better value it gets!
There’s a Jacuzzi, steam bath, cold plunge and sauna – perfect for those weary toes. There are also 4 rooftop suites with hot tubs.
Axel Guldsmeden is in a very central location in Vesterbrø, next to the train station and about 5 minutes from Tivoli Gardens.
How much? A small double starts at £130 per night (with the £46pp spa fee on top).
What about even cheaper?
Sjællandsgadebad
If you don’t have the cash to be splashing on Bali-style spas, then go low key with a local option.
Sjællandsgadebad is community-run by volunteers. It was built in the 1910s, when apartments didn’t have any bathing facilities, so at that time you found public baths across the city.
Denmark doesn’t quite have the social bathing culture of countries like Finland. Bathing here was more functional – but over time the baths have become an important meeting place and point of connection. Sjællandsgadebad was actually shut down in 2010, but renovated and reopened in 2013. So get yourself down there for a brisk soak, Danish style!
How much? A 1.5h bathtub and sauna session costs £10.
