Seen in older guides, checked Nov 2026: Hotel Skt. Petri (Krystalgade 22): older Shabbat-friendly listings use this name; it is being rebranded as 1 Hotel Copenhagen (now listed under that name). · Hotel Jørgensen (Rømersgade 11, +45 33 13 81 86): Chabad's older guide lists it as a budget option 10 min from either shul and TotallyJewishTravel calls it non-kosher; not found on Google Places under that name as of Nov 2026, so status unconfirmed (not known to be closed); call before relying on it · I. A. Samson / Kosher Butik / Kosher Delight Copenhagen: not found online as of Nov 2026 (not on the community's current kosher list, where Gils Deli is the only shop named; checked Google Places, Danish and Hebrew searches); status unknown, not confirmed closed · Community (Krystalgade) mikveh: not found on djs.dk as of Nov 2026; Chabad's visitor page says Copenhagen has two mikvahs but names only the Ole Suhrs Gade 12 one, so only that one is listed; ask Chabad on +45 33 16 18 50.
