We live by our values: contrast, conscious luxury and happiness. They drive the way form our daily lives and influence our surroundings as well as guide us towards our goal of being the best hotel for the world.
#Contrast
Villa is a hybrid concept in a league of its own. In contrast lies the unexpected, the unique composition of our physical surroundings and the diverse group of people working within, staying at or visiting Villa Copenhagen. Villa Copenhagen is a reflection of a city that exudes sustainability, luxury, happiness and diversity, a city and thereby a hotel with room enough for everyone – both literally and figuratively speaking.
#Conscious luxury
Conscious luxury, as we call it, is about enjoying everything life has to offer from unique experiences and unexpected encounters, to quality food and inspiring surroundings, while at the same time taking responsibility for our actions and ourimpact on the planet. Acting responsibly is part of our DNA. We take full responsibility for our impact on the planet, therefore, The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) is an important element is our value of conscious luxury.
#Happiness
Danes have long been known for being the happiest people in the world. The Danish unpretentious approach to life, the ability to find joy in the smaller things and the appreciation of luxury in the shape of time, freedom, and quality. We embodies this view on the world and our courtesy and service reflect this. We are present and service-minded but not be intrusive. The atmosphere of the hotel is vibrant and friendly, polite and personal, humorous and accommodating.

CO-Branding
—
co-branding with internal- and external collaborators
Co-Branding in general
There will be situations where Villa Copenhagen or a daugther brand will need to communicate the connection in the Villa Copenhagen brand family (for example Villa CPH and Kontrast) or a collaboration with an external brand (for example Villa CPH and Mikkeller).
Below you will find examples of how to use the logos in different situations, depending on who is communicating.
Co-Branding on Some
When a brand from the Villa Copenhagen family communicates from their individual social media page, there is no need to add logos on posts, as their name and logo is always present. However it is important to use the hashtag #partofvillacph to communicate the connection in the brand family.
In some situations where Villa Copenhagen or one of it's daughter brands are collaborating with an external brand, the logo of the external brand should be presented on posts from Villa Copenhagen or a daughter brand's social media .
If an external brand is collaborating with Villa Copenhagen or a daughter brand, the logo of either mother- or daughter brand should be represented on posts from the external brand's social media page where possible.
Below you will find examples of how to use the hashtag or logos depending on the situation.
