Fairfield by Marriott, a brand within Marriott Bonvoy's portfolio, has announced its European debut with the opening of the Fairfield by Marriott Copenhagen Nordhavn.

The Fairfield by Marriott brand is known for offering a simple, reliable and affordable hotel experience focused on productivity and a good night's sleep.

This aligns well with modern Scandinavian design sensibilities, making Copenhagen the ideal city to introduce the brand's European-inspired aesthetic.

A European-inspired design

The Fairfield by Marriott Copenhagen Nordhavn showcases the brand's first European prototype design, created by OCCA Design Studio in collaboration with Scandinavian design firms Mette Fredskild Design and Henning Larsen Architects.

The design incorporates natural elements and light, modern Scandinavian style to create a relaxed and efficient hotel environment. This focus on comfort and balance reflects the Danish concept of "hygge" [a quality that helps one feel comfortable and content].

The hotel's 222 guestrooms, including 20 with sea views, feature a colour palette of natural tones and materials and are equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi and mobile desk spaces for both business and leisure travellers.

Location and amenities

Fairfield by Marriott Copenhagen Nordhavn has a waterfront setting in the Århusgadekvarteret neighbourhood, a creative hub that offers local architecture, design, restaurants and cafes. The location provides guests with a retreat from the busy city centre while remaining well-connected.

Copenhagen's Nordhavn [North Harbour] district is one of Northern Europe's largest new urban development projects with a focus on sustainability.

The hotel features Fairfield's signature flexible public spaces, ideal for socialising, working or relaxing. The Social Market offers a complimentary healthy breakfast, while a 24/7 market provides convenient snacks and beverages. The lobby fosters connection and productivity, and a fitness centre allows guests to maintain their routines.

Further European expansion

Fairfield by Marriott plans additional European openings in key business and leisure destinations. These include:

• Fairfield by Marriott Bordeaux Train Station (France): 191 rooms, close to Bordeaux-Saint-Jean railway (opening 2025)
• Fairfield by Marriott Erding (Germany): 158 rooms in Erding near Munich (opening 2025)
• Fairfield by Marriott Istanbul Yenibosna (Turkey): 192 rooms in a mixed-use development (opening 2025)
• Fairfield by Marriott Warwick (UK): 142 rooms near the British Motor Museum

The brand's Middle Eastern debut is expected in 2027 with the opening of its first two properties in Makkah, Saudi Arabia.
