Rox Resort recently announced plans to open its doors Nov. 1 in Køge, a harbor town 30 minutes from Copenhagen. Swedish hospitality group ESS develops the 154-guestroom, design-forward, chef-driven resort.

“Rox is both cinematic and grounding,” said Jonas Stenberg, CEO, ESS Group. “We’ve created something original—something that feels intimate and intelligent at the same time. It’s a place for people who notice details, who are curious about design, and who want more from their travel experience.”

Spik Studios, ESS’s in-house creative arm, curates the interiors, with design elements including layered mirror surfaces, chalk-painted walls, velvet tones, chinoiserie-lined firewood alcoves, rattan lighting and burnished brass detailing. No two rooms are the same.

“We wanted to create an atmosphere that is mysterious and intriguing, yet warm and welcoming,” said the designers at Spik Studios. “Rox is not overtly Nordic, nor overtly exotic—it’s a design palimpsest: soulful, grounded, and quietly complex.”

Culinary offerings include The Dirty Sichuan, a steakhouse concept combining British fare and the heat of Sichuan cuisine; The Dumpling Bar, an all-day, pool-side venue; and five bars, including rooftop Pool Bar, Birdcage, Lobby Bar, an outdoor terrace and a hidden cocktail nook in the Fire Room.

Wellness is also a focus of Rox Resort, offering three heated rooftop pools (one indoor), a full-service spa, a fitness center, two padel courts, golf simulators, a five-a-side soccer field and indoor games. Nine meeting rooms round out the offerings.
