ANDERSON

Anderson is a hotel that is as vibrant as its Vesterbro hood, standing out from the crowd with verve, colour and a lust for life.This hip boutique hotel is located in one of the hippest areas of Copenhagen and possibly our favourite. Vesterbro has everything the intrepid traveller dreams of, with both comfort in the familiar and lots of new things to try. If you’re looking to make the most of the meatpacking district and it Copenhagen’s nightlife scene – this is the area to stay in.  Anderson Hotel is the sort of hotel that forms part of your city break, rather than being somewhere just to lay your head.  With loads of character and pops of colour, its vibrant personality rubs off on you and instantly brightens your mood. It’s also a place to escape and a refreshing break from white-on-white Nordic minimalism.

HOTEL ALEXANDRA

Hotel Alexandra is in a prime location, bang in the city centre and in walking’s reach from the majority of Copenhagen’s major attractions. With its sleek, specific decor and urban cool, it is just the place to base yourself as you explore this trendy, sophisticated city. The enduring popularity of mid-century modern design style means the hotel will probably never need decorating again. With its clean lines and gentle organic curves, it would have appealed to guests of the 50’s and 60’s. One could imagine scenes from the boardroom of Mad Men being filmed here – whiskey, quips, charm and all.Located right next to Town Hall Square, Hotel Alexandra is about as central as you can get. This is where the famous pedestrian shopping street, Strøget, begins. Tivoli gardens is just a short stroll away and the Latin quarter, known as Latinerkvarteret to the Danes, is close too.

KONG ARTHUR

Tucked at the back of a cobblestoned alley overlooking the city’s lovely lakes, Hotel Kong Arthur is set in the ideal location to get under the skin of the city. The hotel itself is grand and spacious, yet manages to be cosy and personal at the same time. There’s an ambiance of comfort, open conviviality and unpretentious elegance here which we love. Around the hotel there is plenty to do and see. It’s right next to the cosy neighborhood of Nansensgade where you’ll find little bohemian cafés, trendy designer shops and lots of wine bars
