Setting

Helle-good

Once a silver screen, then a ballroom — Park Lane Copenhagen’s latest iteration is stage to a different kind of drama. Set in the wealthy suburb of Hellerup, the hotel is a gateway to the capital’s lesser known delights; its ancient parklands, breezy beaches and regal castles. Inside, Danish designer Camilla van den Tempel has transformed the building’s storied interiors into serene rooms and suites where Scandi minimalism is softened by period details and the plot revolves around refined R ’n’ R.

Our favourite rooms

All rooms are dressed to impress with custom furnishings, and devilishly handsome details from parquet floors and marble bathrooms to bronze glass and burnished brass – not to mention the killer views of leafy Ødegaardparken or the sea beyond. But we love the suites, which come with Antoniolupi bath tubs, restored chandeliers and walk-in wardrobes for all your brand new Scandi purchases.

Poolside

There’s no pool at Park Lane Copenhagen, but if you wish to brave the waves, Hellerup beach is just a short stroll away.

A spa area is in the works for 2026, but for now those cryotherapy ice baths, age-defying LED treatments and infrared sauna sessions will have to wait.

Food and Drink

Top Table

In the summer, make a beeline for the outdoor terrace. Come winter, cosy up on the velvet sofa opposite the bar.

Dress Code

In keeping with the hotel’s pared-back palette, opt for keenly tailored minimalism in creamy tones and deep browns with hints of mauve and sage.

Hotel restaurant

Yves, the eponymous French bistro of head chef Yves Le Lay, sits on the ground floor of the hotel and serves contemporary French fare with a Southeast Asian twist. Yves, who also runs À Terre, a well-loved restaurant in the city next to the Royal Theatre, draws from his Breton heritage and far-flung travels to create dishes such as ravioli filled with comté and parsley, or frogs legs with spicy tartare sauce. Expect theatrics; smoking dishes, flaming desserts, and other edible magic. Plus, the hotel partners with the two adjoining restaurants. Rosé Rosé serves a casual, European menu, specializing in lunches of Danish open sandwiches and bistro-style dinners. Parsley Salon, by contrast, is a more formal affair, offering a 12-course, contemporary Nordic tasting menu with all ingredients sourced from the Northern Zealand region. 

Hotel bar

With bar staff poached from the city’s famous champagne and cocktail bar, Balthazar, Yves’ mixologists know a thing or two about lifting spirits. From behind the sleek marble bar, they shake and stir all the classics, alongside more inventive sips. We love the Clover club (Citadel gin, raspberry, vermouth, egg whites) and the Mangofique (Absolute Elyx, Cap Corse, mango, lime leaf syrup). Plus, the extent of its wine card means that oenophiles are sure to find something worth raising a glass to.

Last orders

Yves is open daily from 7am to midnight; Rosé Rosé opens its doors at 11.30am and Parsley Salon is open Wednesday to Sunday from 6pm to 12am.

Room service

Take supper in your slippers with round-the-clock room service. There’s a full menu available during restaurant opening hours, and a reduced one thereafter.

Park Lane Copenhagen
Strandvejen 203
Hellerup
2900
Denmark

You’ll find Park Lane in the centre of Hellerup, a wealthy northern suburb of the Danish capital known as the ‘Beverly Hills of Copenhagen’ for its exclusive shopping areas and waterfront mansions.

Planes

Copenhagen International Airport is a 40-minute drive away and transfers can be arranged at a charge. Alternatively, take the metro to Norreport, then jump on the C train to Hellerup — the journey should take around 30 minutes.

Trains

Hellerup train station is a 15-minute walk from the hotel, and has connections across the Metropolitan area. You can be at Copenhagen central station in 13 minutes, where you’ll find direct routes to Aarhus, Malmö, Stockholm and beyond.

Automobiles

Free valet parking is available from 7am to 11pm, though you’re unlikely to need wheels – this being Scandinavia, you can bet on like-clockwork public transport.

Worth getting out of bed for

Formerly named Tafflebay, Hellerup is a wealthy northern suburb of Copenhagen which has long been known as a wellness resort for the upper classes. As the hotel’s name suggests, in the immediate vicinity you’ll find Ødegaardparken, a leafy public park laid out in a romantic English landscape style. The park is also home to the Ødegaard museum, where you can find a comprehensive display of Danish (and French) art from the 19th and 20th centuries. In the summer, Hellerup beach is just a stone’s throw away, and the hotel has all the kit you need for a day at the seaside — their beach package includes everything from a beach bag and sunscreen to flip-flops and sun hats. The main high street, Strandvejen, stretches from the north of Osterbro to Klampenborg, and is worth a stroll — if not for the fresh sea air, then for its smattering of boutiques, cafés and restaurants. Start at Experimentum Science Museum to the south, and work your way up through Bellevue where you’ll find a number of Arne Jacobsen works (including a petrol station-cum-ice cream parlour, Skovshoved, the local theatre, and his iconic lifeguard towers). If you’re lucky, you may even spot Mads Mikkelson taking a dip at Bellevue Beach. Continue to Bakken, a centuries-old amusement park, and then onto Jægersborg Dyrehave, an enclosed park, home to ancient oak trees, a baroque hunting lodge and over 2,000 deer. From here, take the train north to Humlebæk, where Louisiana pairs modern art, mid-century architecture and wow-worthy views of the dramatic Øresund Sound. Or, continue on to Helsingør, a charming port town best known as the home of Kronborg Castle, which is credited as the setting for Shakespeare’s Hamlet.

Local restaurants

The area’s culinary offerings are as grand as its houses, with almost many star chefs as there are bikes. Notable mentions are the Samuel and Jordnær. The former, helmed by Jonathan Berntsen, is set in a historical apothecary’s villa and known for its focus on seasonal ingredients, inventive French-inspired fare and excellent wine pairings. The latter, run by Eric Vilgaard (formerly of Noma) and his wife Tina Kragh Vildgaard, combines Nordic and Japanese cuisine with a seafood-forward menu, set in a polished dining room criss-crossed with wooden beams.

Local cafés

With harbor views, Wulff & Konstali is a firm favourite with Hellerup’s brunch brigade. On the menu you’ll find all the usual salutary suspects from spirulina smoothie bowls to caesar salads, plus a hearty helping of carbs and sweet treats. For something a little more traditional, head to Sankt Peder, which is known for its stellar smørrebrød (Danish open sandwiches).

Local bars

If wine is your thing, Roots Vinbar is a fashion-forward spot on Hellerup’s main drag which serves small batch, European wines in a chic, industrial setting. But if you’re hot for hops, head to Kompasset Beer Bar in neighbouring Osterbro; a cosy, maritime-themed den with 10 rotating beers and ales on tap.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this high-spec hotel in the leafy Copenhagen suburb of Hellerup and unpacked their Hay homewares and Stine Goya 'fits, a full account of their Nordic break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Park Lane Copenhagen…

A northern star is born with the arrival of Park Lane Copenhagen, a sophisticated stay in the capital’s leafy Hellerup suburb. Built as a movie theatre in 1926, it was later used as a ballroom; traces of which can still be gleaned through original stucco details and meticulously restored chandeliers. But the nostalgia stops there; Camilla van den Tempel’s interiors are seamlessly contemporary and use a suitably Scandinavian palette of beige, taupe and sage to create elegant rooms and suites that encourage relaxation. Yet, despite the hotel’s minimalist makeover, a dash of drama can still be found: downstairs, say, where Yves’ restaurant puts a theatrical twist on Gallic classics with its flambé desserts, or outdoors where all manner of applause-worthy sites can be discovered, from ancient parklands, to modernist masterpieces and Hamlet’s famous castle. The rest is silence.
