The Socialist: A new Tribute Portfolio hotel hits Copenhagen

The Socialist is a new addition to the Marriott Bonvoy collection and is located in the heart of Copenhagen. This boutique hotel is housed in a city landmark, a former transformer station. Its city-centre location gives guests direct access to the rich diversity the Danish capital has to offer, from shopping in Stroget to experiencing the attractions of Tivoli; the buzz of Vesterbro or the freedom of Christiana.

The urban boutique hotel is all about a vibrant social scene that is centred around its bar, restaurant, lounge and wine cellar, about creating a vibrant urban intersection, a place where ideas and perspectives meet, which is illustrated throughout the design. The hotel’s restaurant, Bobo Food Studio, headed up by visionary chef Boris Buono, serves up New Nordic cuisine with a focus on organic, local produce, while in the restaurant’s wine cellar, guests can enjoy small tasting plates accompanied by a stellar wine list.

Lighting and sound is important throughout the design and has been considered in all areas of the hotel, from the dramatic industrial lobby lighting, through to an emphasis on both natural and focus lighting in the guestrooms and suites.

Each of the 31 guestrooms and suites have been creatively designed as an expression of its urban environment. All of the rooms also feature modern touches of technology, including Dyson hairdryers and Nespresso coffee machines.

The Tribute Collection, now with more than 32 hotels in its portfolio, is all about independent design, and connections. With its attention to detail and design having been ‘created for and by Copenhagen’s’ creative community’, The Socialist is an exciting new addition to this collection.
