There are lots of good hotels in the centre of Copenhagen and Malmo, suitable for a range of budgets. Rooms are functional, clean and attractive with lots of storage space but can be on the small side - unless you’ve splashed out on the junior suite of course! Most hotels include a complimentary breakfast and are within walking distance from the main destinations and attractions.

Copenhagen’s Kong Arthur hotel deserves special mention for its beautiful Avalon Spa, great for couples or for post-conference relaxing. Hotel 27 is a sleek and fashionable hotel in a great location near Tivoli. It also has two great bars, Honey Ryder and the Absolut Ice Bar, along with a popular wine bar and restaurant. Malmö’s Hotel Rica is worth a visit for its amazing weekend brunch alone. Students and those on a tight budget should consider bedding down in one of the excellent youth hostels – leaving all the more krone for partying!
