Fairfield by Marriott, a beloved brand within Marriott Bonvoy’s impressive portfolio of over 30 hotel brands, has taken a significant step forward with its European debut. The brand’s arrival is marked by the grand opening of Fairfield by Marriott Copenhagen Nordhavn, situated in Copenhagen’s vibrant North Harbour district.
This opening signifies a momentous milestone for Fairfield by Marriott, solidifying its position as a trusted brand with a strong focus on global expansion. Currently, Fairfield by Marriott boasts the second-largest presence within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio, with over 1,290 operational hotels and a promising pipeline exceeding 450 properties globally.

The Essence of Simplicity: Fairfield by Marriott’s Core Values
Fairfield by Marriott champions the beauty of simplicity, offering guests a seamless and dependable hotel experience. Their core focus lies on promoting productivity and ensuring a restful night’s sleep, all at an exceptional value. Drawing inspiration from the heritage of the Marriott family’s idyllic country retreat, Fairfield by Marriott evokes a sense of rejuvenation and natural ease. This philosophy is underpinned by the brand’s unwavering commitment to warm hospitality, reliable service, and the Fairfield Guarantee, ensuring consistently positive guest experiences.
“The opening of Fairfield by Marriott Copenhagen Nordhavn marks a significant milestone in our strategic growth plan for the Fairfield by Marriott brand,” said Mary Garris, Vice President, of Classic Select Global Brand Management. “Fairfield by Marriott’s rich heritage emphasizes a simple, seamless, and stress-free experience, which aligns perfectly with modern Scandinavian culture and design. Copenhagen, therefore, becomes the ideal city to introduce our European-inspired aesthetic.”
A Fusion of Design: Fairfield by Marriott Copenhagen Nordhavn
Fairfield properties around the world showcase a simple, timeless, and contemporary design aesthetic. For their European debut, Fairfield by Marriott has meticulously considered this design approach, blending elements inspired by nature and the heritage of the Fairfield country retreat with a light and modern Scandinavian style. This thoughtful fusion results in an effortlessly relaxed yet efficient hotel design.
Fairfield by Marriott Copenhagen Nordhavn holds the distinction of being the first hotel to showcase the brand’s European prototype, meticulously crafted by OCCA Design Studio. This prototype will serve as a blueprint for future Fairfield by Marriott designs across Europe. OCCA Design Studio collaborated with renowned Scandinavian design firms – Mette Fredskild Design and Henning Larsen Architects – to ensure the design resonates with local sensibilities and captures the essence of Danish “hygge,” a concept that prioritizes comfort and well-being for travelers seeking a haven during their stay in Copenhagen.
The hotel’s public spaces and 222 guestrooms (20 of which offer captivating sea views) are designed with a calming palette of natural colors and materials. Green tones and wood accents are complemented by a blend of soft organic and uncomplicated geometric shapes, fostering a sense of tranquility for guests. Each guestroom features comfortable beds, a modern shower, complimentary Wi-Fi access, and a mobile desk space, catering to the needs of both business and leisure travelers.
A Relaxing Retreat in the Heart of Copenhagen
Staying true to the brand’s legacy, Fairfield by Marriott Copenhagen Nordhavn offers a serene waterfront setting nestled within the charming Århusgadekvarteret neighborhood. This area is a vibrant hub for local architecture, design, restaurants, and cafes, providing travelers with an escape from the bustling city center while remaining well-connected.
The North Harbour district itself is one of Northern Europe’s most ambitious new urban development projects, envisioned as a fully sustainable and carbon-neutral hub. Following the principles of a “Five-minute City,” all essential amenities – public transportation, city districts, local shops, green spaces, and the waterfront – are conveniently located within a five-minute radius.
Flexible Spaces for Connectivity and Relaxation
The hotel incorporates Fairfield’s signature element – flexible public spaces – ideal for connecting with fellow travelers, working productively, or simply unwinding. The Social Market serves as the heart of the Fairfield guest experience, offering a complimentary healthy breakfast to kickstart your day. Travelers seeking a quick refreshment can take advantage of the convenient 24/7 market, stocked with snacks and beverages.
The spacious lobby provides a bright, comfortable, and versatile space suitable for socializing, working, or just relaxing, and transitions seamlessly between day and night. The well-equipped Fitness Center allows guests to stay on top of their fitness routines and maintain a healthy balance while away from home.
