How many hotels are there in Denmark?
About 650 hotels, a third of them in the capital region.
Short answer
In June 2026 the official accommodation statistics counted 650 hotels in Denmark, with 60,814 rooms and 126,826 beds. Region Hovedstaden had 214 of them, with 30,813 rooms, which is about half of all hotel rooms in the country. A year earlier, in June 2025, the count was 647 hotels. When holiday resorts (feriecentre) are counted too, the statistics show up to 735 hotels and holiday resorts in 2025.
Why
- The capital region has about half of the hotel rooms.
- The number of hotels grows slowly year by year.
- Holiday resorts are counted separately from hotels.
Details
In June 2026, 73 % of the hotel rooms in Denmark were in use, and 84 % in Region Hovedstaden.

Outside Copenhagen there are far fewer hotels, so book early in small towns in summer.
What may differ
The monthly count changes a little because some hotels open only in season.
Common misconception
Denmark has thousands of hotels.
What actually happens
