Locke announces two new openings in 2026, including Locke Copenhagen

Locke is pleased to announce the opening of two new hotels - Locke Copenhagen, expected to open in March 2026, and Locke Canary Wharf, expected to open in April 2026. The expansions reflect Locke’s ongoing ambition to introduce its design-led lifestyle concept to new European markets. With the opening of Locke Copenhagen, the group marks its first presence in Scandinavia while further strengthening a portfolio that now comprises more than 16 locations across the UK and Europe.

Locke Copenhagen marks Edyn’s first property in Denmark and the debut of its new brand identity. Opening on 2 March 2026, the hotel will offer 234 thoughtfully designed rooms and suites, including One-Bed Suites, Studio Rooms and a striking Penthouse Suite, all permeated by contemporary design and that self-assured personality that defines the Locke brand.

Set in two of Postbyen’s five distinctive round towers, the hotel will combine vibrant food and drink venues with rooftop spaces, a fitness center, and practical amenities such as a meeting space and parking.

Locke Copenhagen is more than just a hotel - it will become a new focal point in Postbyen, where gastronomic experiences will set the stage for unforgettable evenings. On the 11th floor, guests can enjoy an exquisite cocktail with a panoramic view of Copenhagen. The venue will be open to all - not just hotel guests - welcoming the local community to a new urban oasis.

The interior of Locke Copenhagen has been meticulously crafted by the London-based design studio A-nrd, aiming to weave together Denmark's rich design heritage with the vibrant spirit found in Postbyen. The architectural design is notable for its monolithic appearance, featuring cylindrical structures made of concrete, terrazzo floors, and large floor-to-ceiling windows.

The narrative is guided by three pillars of modern Nordic simplicity that evoke thoughts of nature and the essence of home and coziness. The colour palette draws inspiration from the Copenhagen landscape with earthy tones like terracotta and chalky pinks, mossy greens inspired by oxidized copper roofs, and calming bluish-grey shades.

Each area in Locke Copenhagen offers a unique atmosphere, where the reception blends elements of historic and modern Copenhagen with red lime-washed walls and exposed wooden structures, evoking 17th-century Danish architecture, complemented by warm sculptural lighting. In the restaurant, cocktail bar, coffee bar, and lounge area, Scandinavian modernism comes to life with panels of pink limestone, layered draped textiles, and beautiful plants accompanied by large Celine Wright pendant lights. The coffee bar reflects the simple elegance of Danish masters such as Hans Wegner and Børge Mogensen, evoking the charm of a local bakery with natural materials like oak, stone, and cognac leather.

The rooms are designed by the renowned studio Grzywinski+Pons, known for their collaboration with Locke, emphasizing a design that resonates with its surroundings while preserving the intimate essence of the location.

Located in the heart of Copenhagen by the Copenhagen Central Station, Locke Copenhagen offers guests exceptional access to the city’s most iconic attractions. Just a short walk from Tivoli and Copenhagen’s vibrant Meatpacking District (Kødbyen), Locke Copenhagen puts the city’s culture and nightlife right on guests’ doorstep.

Visitors can swim in the nearby harbor, experience the acclaimed CopenHill ski slope during the winter months, and relax in the beautifully green parks on warm summer days. 

In addition to its expansion in Copenhagen, Locke will unveil its sixth property in London, located in the bustling area of Canary Wharf. This new venue is set to reflect the successful elements of Locke’s unique offerings, catering to both business travellers and vacation guests.

With the openings of Locke Copenhagen and Canary Wharf, Locke continues to cement its position as a leading player in lifestyle hotels in Europe.
