The History

A rich design heritage and compelling story.

Highly technical in its construction, this is a property characterized by an exquisite sense of materiality, and its adherence to the principle of Danish Modern design that form should follow function: Namely, the building was built exactly for its function as a transformer station with thick concrete walls, 5-meter-tall green metal doors, and bronze shutters covering the façade. All key visual characteristics of the building and all required to protect the neighboring buildings from any mishap during the building’s operation as an electrical substation.discover the best the city has to offer, first-hand.

“The architecture of Hans Christian Hansen has been unfairly neglected when accounting for the great modern heroes of Danish architecture…” Anne Beim, Marie Frier Hvejsel (The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, School of Architecture)

Rare in its kind – a property with the most striking of visual expressions

In a city dominated by traditional architecture, the Socialist stands apart. The industrial façade and interior provide a stark, refreshing contrast to the prevailing 16th and 17th Century style of architecture of Copenhagen and its hotels. As noted by a regular guest, It’s the only place in Copenhagen you could go and forget you aren’t in New York.

This visual expression has been extended inside the hotel with notable Danish design icons throughout the rooms and restaurant in order to create an evolving Danish Design Bazaar with items from Fritz Hansen, &Tradition, Menu, Innovation Living, By Lassen, New Works, and many more.

Today, the Socialist and its in-house restaurant, Bobo Food Studio, are open locals and international guests alike and aims to be Copenhagen’s next 24/7 “stay and play” destination for overnight stays, food, drinks, art exhibits, concerts, speeches, workspace and much more.
