Our hotel’s rich history adds an extra layer of character to your stay. Experience the golden age of modernism architecture with our unique blend of vintage charm and modern amenities. Built in 1947 and re-designed by Danish architect Erik Christian Sørensen in 1956. Hotel Østerport has undergone many changes through the years, but the original details still exist.
Shortly after World War II, several emergency hotels for refugees were established in Copenhagen. One of those hotels was Hotel Østerport (opening on the 20th of December 1946), built right by the railway tracks next to the Østerport station. The hotel barracks replaced the former German bunker facilities, which then became part of the hotel’s basement.
On the 9th of July, Hotel Østerport was ravaged by an explosive fire. More than 150 guests were evacuated.
In 1956 Hotel Østerport was redesigned by Architect Erik Christian Sørensen, and the reconstruction of the front building, restaurant and the first of three buildings with hotel rooms were finished in 1958.
Erik Christian Sørensen (1922-2011) was one of the great Danish architects of the 20th century. As a modernist architect and professor, he was influenced by Mies van der Rohe and worked with modern materials such as industrial steel and plate glass to emphasize a strict but elegant design.
As a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts’ School of Architecture, he influenced some of Denmark’s best post-war architects with international functionalism’s message of “the total, dynamic space,” where inside and outside flowed together; where the spaces could be easily changed, and where the minimal construction was exposed.
