Why It Matters
The Renover Award-winning conversion of a genuine 1960s transformer station, with original structural elements turned into design features. One of the few Danish hotels with an A energy efficiency rating. A 12-meter lobby that genuinely impresses, steps from Kongens Nytorv metro.
A 1963 electrical transformer station on Bremerholm, converted into a 31-room boutique hotel between 2016 and 2018. The renovation won the Renover Award in 2019. Raw concrete walls, original terrazzo stairs, giant green iron doors, and that signature dark bronze jalousie facade are all intact. The lobby's 12-meter-high central hall stops you in your tracks — a 3D-printed metallic sculpture floats above a brushed steel cocktail bar. Rooms go the other direction: warm greys, plush carpeting, marble bathrooms, BOSE sound systems, and custom beds with headboards that feel almost like business class. Small, serious, and quietly confident.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Deluxe Double Room
At roughly 20 sqm, this is where Herman K rooms start to feel genuinely comfortable for two. Either a cozy sofa group or a private balcony depending on which unit you land. Worth requesting the balcony option when booking.
Double · 20 sqm
Deluxe Suite
Also around 35 sqm on two floors but with a different layout: living room with sofa and dining table plus a courtyard-facing balcony. The bathroom includes both a separate shower and a bathtub. Perfect for a couple who wants proper sprawl space.
Double · 35 sqm
Junior Suite
Approximately 27 sqm with a double bed, sofa bed, and armchair — one of the suites also has a bathtub, which is worth asking about at booking. Sleeps up to 2 adults and 2 children under 12. A proper suite feel at a reasonable upgrade price.
Double + Sofa Bed · 27 sqmOne Bedroom Suite
Around 35 sqm spread across two floors. Ground floor holds the double bed, armchair, and minibar; the upper level offers a sofa and desk — a smart layout for anyone mixing business with leisure. The split-level adds a lot of character.
Double · 35 sqmPenthouse Suite
The hotel's showpiece at 75 sqm over two floors. Double bed on the ground floor, a separate living room with sofa and desk upstairs, and a large private roof terrace with city views. This is what the building's history earns you — industrial grit below, Copenhagen skyline above. Fits 2 guests.
Double · 75 sqmSmaller Double Room
The smallest room in the hotel at 12 sqm. Compact and smartly furnished — ideal for a solo traveler, and workable for two if you genuinely don't mind close quarters. Same design DNA as the rest: industrial bones, green touches, marble bathroom.
Double (160 cm) · 12 sqmStandard Room
At 14 sqm, still cozy — the practical wardrobe helps keep things organized. Good choice for a short solo business stay or budget-conscious couples. Quiet, well-finished, and covered in the same Scandinavian-industrial aesthetic.
Double (140–160 cm) · 14 sqmSuperior Room
A step up in feel even if not dramatically in size — around 15 sqm with a dedicated seating area added in. More breathing room for a couple spending longer in Copenhagen. Same marble bathroom setup as the rest.
