History
Founded in 1755 by Jean Marchal and Maria Coppy as a restaurant that later became a hotel, d'Angleterre is one of Copenhagen’s oldest and most significant hospitality institutions. The current building dates to 1795, and the hotel has stood on Kongens Nytorv for over 270 years, making it a fixture of the city’s social and cultural life. Over the centuries, d'Angleterre has undergone several transformations, including a major extension between 1872 and 1875 by architects Vilhelm Dahlerup and Georg E. W. Møller. The Palm Court, once a 16th-century garden, was transformed into its current form in 1902. The hotel’s longevity and continuous evolution have cemented its status as a Copenhagen landmark.
