The Churchill Penthouse by Daniel&Jacob’s Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to The Churchill Penthouse by Daniel&Jacob’s on Amaliegade, you’d honestly never guess what awaits you inside. The entrance is understated — almost modest — which makes stepping into this four-star penthouse feel like discovering a secret. I mean, the building itself has that classic Copenhagen charm, but once you’re inside, it’s clear this isn’t your typical hotel experience. The space feels more like staying in a well-connected friend’s impossibly stylish apartment than a traditional hotel room.

Location & Neighborhood

Here’s what I love about Amaliegade — you’re literally in the heart of Copenhagen’s most walkable area, but it doesn’t feel touristy or overwhelming. The street itself is quiet enough that you can actually sleep with the windows open (something I always appreciate), yet you’re maybe a three-minute walk from Kongens Nytorv and all those gorgeous canals everyone posts on Instagram. Honestly, the location rating of 9.9 makes complete sense once you realize you can walk to Nyhavn, the Royal Theatre, and some of the city’s best restaurants without ever needing public transport.

The Penthouse Experience

What sets The Churchill Penthouse by Daniel&Jacob’s apart is the space itself — it actually feels like a penthouse, not just a hotel room with a fancy name. The ceilings are high, there’s genuine character in the architecture, and the furnishings strike that perfect balance between Danish minimalism and actual comfort. You know what surprised me most? The kitchen area is functional enough that you could actually cook if you wanted to, though with Copenhagen’s food scene right outside your door, you probably won’t. The views from the upper level give you those classic Copenhagen rooftops that make you feel like you’re living in a Nordic design magazine.

Practical Comforts

The bed situation is excellent — and I’m someone who’s pretty particular about mattresses when traveling. There’s plenty of space to spread out, which couples especially seem to appreciate (the feedback about romantic trips makes total sense when you see the setup). The bathroom feels appropriately upscale without being intimidating, and there’s actually decent water pressure, which isn’t always a given in older Copenhagen buildings. Small detail that matters: the Wi-Fi is solid throughout the space, so you can work from the little seating area if you need to.

Why Guests Love It

What really works here is that Daniel&Jacob’s has created something that feels authentically Copenhagen without trying too hard. You’re not staying in some generic upscale box — you’re experiencing how stylish locals might actually live in the city center. The combination of that unbeatable location, the genuine penthouse feel, and the thoughtful details creates something special. It’s the kind of place where you find yourself lingering over morning coffee just because the space feels so right, and honestly, that’s not something you can manufacture with fancy amenities or marketing speak.

• Lucas from Sweden – 19 June 2024 (1/10)

  What could be improved: Everything.

• Champlin5786 from Serbia – 6 December 2023 (9/10)

  The place is very stylish and modern with lots of space. It's clean and has everything you need. Also the location is exceptional

• Ciara from Ireland – 25 August 2023 (9/10)

  Wonderful location

• Darea from United Kingdom – 21 December 2022 (9/10)

  Location was great, supermarkets and shops local, close to Metro and felt safe and central yet quiet and friendly neighbourhood. Wow factor apartment, kids loved the hanging chair and plenty space
  
  What could be improved: lack of storage, winter stay meant 6x coats and hats and scarfs and boots etc cluttered the place up. Minor things like a cupboard in the kitchen because we did cooking and again not much space but these are minor things. Another beanbag or two would be good when you are a larger party and only 1 sofa but I get its minimalist but needs to be functional

• Karen from United Kingdom – 4 December 2022 (9/10)

  Great location- 15 minute walk to central Copenhagen. 10 mins to Nyhaven. Clean, comfortable, spacious, warm and well equipt.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• David from United Kingdom – 3 November 2022 (8/10)

  Very good location, central yet quiet, no traffic noise. Very well equipped and furnished, beds very comfortable, showers and bathrooms very nice. A beautiful spacious property far more enjoyable than a hotel.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was very good although the spiral staircase is not really suitable for very small children, elderly or infirm however a separate entrance on the top floor serviced by an external lift means this isn't to much of a problem.

• Elizabeth from United Kingdom – 12 September 2022 (9/10)

  The penthouse was spacious, the beds were comfortable and the shower was great. The location is a lovely, quiet part of town but still an easy walk to the nearest Metro station. We had a couple of minor maintenance issues which the team solved quickly. The online messaging with the Into This Place team worked really well and they were responsive and courteous. They even provide 2 hours free at Luggage Hero which was very useful on our last day. I would highly recommend.

• Tamimi64 from Saudi Arabia – 1 September 2022 (6/10)

  Location is perfect and the apartment size
  
  What could be improved: 1 – The apartment missing essential furniture such as wardrobes, dressing table, sofa chairs and microwave.
  2 – The Skylight in the bedrooms is bad idea too much light comes early in morning and disturb your sleep.
  3 – No garbage bags and no washing machine soap.
  4 – No curtains or shatter in the bathroom window for privacy.

• Laura from United States – 17 June 2022 (9/10)

  Location is great — quiet and a little tucked away from the center city but a short subway ride or leisurely walk from lots of sights. Getting keys out of the key box was very easy. A grocery store was close by so we could enjoy breakfast in the apartment. Beds were comfortable, showers and towels were both good quality. We also really appreciated the Nespresso capsules waiting for us on arrival. Overall the place felt nice and spacious for our group of six.
  
  What could be improved: The internal spiral staircase was difficult to manage and felt a little rickety. (Luckily there was also an exterior door for the top floor.) The upstairs bedrooms don't have windows or ceiling fans so it felt a little stuffy at night. Kitchen layout is a little awkward.
