Copenhagen, Denmark · Independent · Accessible Luxury
Heinrich Wenck's 1912 Central Post and Telegraph Head Office, sister to his Central Station next door, reopened in 2020 as Villa Copenhagen: sandstone reliefs, copper roof, Universal Design Studio on the interiors, three minutes from Tivoli. Mail once rolled from the platforms into the sorting house. Strawberry runs it; the shell is still the post office.

History
Villa Copenhagen occupies the former Central Post and Telegraph Head Office at Tietgensgade 35-39, a Baroque Revival building completed in 1912 by Heinrich Wenck, who also designed the adjacent Copenhagen Central Station. The hotel opened in 2020 after conversion, interiors by Universal Design Studio, operated by Strawberry, three minutes from Tivoli.
The setting
Villa Copenhagen inhabits the historic Central Post & Telegraph Head Office at Tietgensgade 35-39, a Baroque Revival edifice completed in 1912 by Heinrich Wenck — who also designed the adjacent Copenhagen Central Station — in the Vesterbro quarter. The two sister buildings share a city block deliberately: rail connections once allowed mail to transfer between station and sorting house. Restored with sandstone reliefs and copper roof details intact, the hotel sits three minutes on foot from Tivoli Gardens and six minutes from Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. The National Museum of Denmark is nine minutes away, and a concentration of landmark luxury properties nearby confirms this as Copenhagen's most storied hospitality address.
