Crowne Plaza Copenhagen Towers
My son studies in Billund, Denmark, and during the Christmas break, my dad and I flew in to visit him and enjoy a family holiday together. My son flew from Billund to Copenhagen (though we later learned taking the train would’ve been even more convenient), while I arrived directly from overseas. We planned to meet on December 18th at the hotel. However, due to a last-minute change in my flight schedule, I arrived late that day—my son was only 14, so he couldn’t check in alone. I contacted the hotel in advance, and they handled it with great flexibility: they asked for some documentation, we filled out a form, signed it, and sent it back via email. They approved letting my son check in independently. The hotel is just two stops from Copenhagen Airport by train or metro—Orestad Station is right there. What’s great about public transport in Denmark? No matter if you’re on the train or the metro, the fare is flat: 24 DKK for adults, 12 DKK for children, regardless of how many stops you travel. Exit the station, turn left, cross the bridge, and the hotel is the tall building on your right. The lobby feels like a little forest—very unique and welcoming. Breakfast was abundant and delicious, with lots of options. Across the street is Fields shopping mall, packed with dining choices. We went up to the second floor and had dinner at a Thai restaurant—authentic flavors, though prices are noticeably higher than in Asia. Our family stayed in a large double bed room, which worked perfectly since we’d researched ahead: many hotels in Denmark only offer 1.3m or 1.5m beds, which would’ve been too tight for three people. This one had a spacious 1.8m bed—ideal. There’s a Burger King right downstairs, and nearby, the mall has plenty of food spots, plus a big supermarket—super convenient. We stayed five nights, then moved to a self-catering apartment for the next leg of our trip. But this first stay was outstanding—excellent location, thoughtful service, and great value. Highly recommend for families traveling with younger kids.
