Places to stay in Denmark for 3–4 extra nights. Copenhagen or somewhere else?

Hi everyone,

We are a family of three: me (M36), my wife (F34), and our 4.5-year-old child. We will be spending about 1.5 weeks in Denmark, mainly in Søndervig and Billund, but we would like to extend our trip by another 3–4 nights.

One option we are considering is Copenhagen. My wife and I have been there before, before our child was born, and we really liked it. Back then we stayed at Hotel 71 Nyhavn. The location was great, but the room was quite expensive for very little space. In general, we do not need a huge apartment or a lot of luxury, but with a child it would be too cramped for us now. Ideally, we would like some kind of separate sleeping area, because after our child has gone to bed, we would still like to sit together and enjoy the evening as a couple.

Unfortunately, it seems quite difficult to find hotels or apartments in Copenhagen with separate bedrooms or a proper separate sleeping area. So far, I have only found Charlottehaven, which seems to offer suites with two rooms.

Does anyone have experience with Charlottehaven? Or can anyone recommend other hotels, serviced apartments, apartment hotels, or similar options in Copenhagen that work well for a family and offer some separation in the evening?

That said, we are not fixed on Copenhagen. We would also be very open to other places in Denmark that are nice for a family with a 4.5-year-old and make sense for 3–4 relaxed extra nights after Søndervig and Billund. We would appreciate recommendations for towns, coastal areas, family-friendly hotels, holiday apartments, or anything else that could be a good fit.

Also, if you have suggestions for activities that work well with a child of that age, either in Copenhagen or elsewhere in Denmark, I would love to hear them.
