The Radisson Collection Royal Hotel Copenhagen, originally designed and completed in 1960 by the legendary architect Arne Jacobsen as the SAS Royal Hotel, is globally celebrated as the world's first design hotel. Jacobsen conceptualized the property as a complete work of art, masterfully detailing everything from the skyscraper's modernist glass facade down to the custom fabrics, lighting, and cutlery. The interior design narrative revolves around a strict, deliberate contrast where soft, organic furniture shapes break up the rigorous, right-angled geometry of the minimalist architecture. The vast public spaces and lobby areas feature leather-wrapped handrails, elegant wood and marble paneling, and an iconic spiral staircase suspended beneath a skylight. A major renovation executed by the design studio Space Copenhagen in collaboration with Fritz Hansen revitalized the property's two hundred and sixty-one rooms while meticulously preserving Jacobsen's heritage. The hotel remains a living museum of mid-century design history, specifically showcasing iconic seating sculpted by Jacobsen and produced flawlessly by Fritz Hansen. The sprawling lobby is anchored by the curving silhouettes of the Egg chair and Swan chair, which were originally sketched in clay by the architect to introduce sweeping lines into the cavernous space. The sleek, low-profile Drop chair and the compact Pot chair complete the standard lounge groupings throughout the public zones and guest rooms. To create a heightened sense of intimacy and architectural scale within the towering glass lobby, Space Copenhagen custom-designed the plush, fully upholstered Loafer lounge series for &Tradition. Lighting plays a structural role in the environment, utilizing the graphic, angular cuts of Jacobsen's classic AJ table lamps, AJ floor lamps, and AJ wall sconces manufactured by Louis Poulsen. The hotel's premier signature suites expand this celebration of Danish craft by incorporating specialized furniture, lighting, and artwork curated from mid-century masters Cecilie Manz and Poul Kjærholm. The property also carefully preserves Room 606, a single guest room left entirely in its original 1960 state, showcasing built-in teak cabinetry, streamlined integrated desks, and the historic teal and green color scheme that originally defined the pioneer of Scandinavian modernism.
