Copenhagen

Although over 25% of Danes live in the nation's capital, Copenhagen retains the laid-back feel of a small provincial town. However, this hasn't prevented Copenhagen from becoming an internationally renowned centre of design - particularly in the fields of furniture and jewellery. The Copenhagen that visitors flock to see, however, is different again - Hans Christian Andersen's "Wonderful Copenhagen, salty old queen of the sea", and again they are not disappointed. From the old docks of Nyhavn to the royal palaces of Christiansborg and Amalienborg complete with bearskin-wearing guards, to the ever-popular Tivoli pleasure gardens, Copenhagen has something for everyone.

Featured Hotels

Copenhagen Admiral Hotel ****
One of Copenhagen's top hotels, and certainly one of its most unique, the Admiral is located in an old grain-drying warehouse building that has stood on the edge of the harbour since 1787, pre-dating even the royal palace next door. Today, it offers high-class accommodation with spectacular views across the harbour and outstanding cooking in the SALT restaurant marrying French technique with fresh Danish produce.

Clarion Collection Mayfair Hotel ****
This charming boutique hotel is located right in the heart of Copenhagen, in a trendy area of restaurants and bars, and within an easy stroll of most of the city's sights and shopping. Excellent service is naturally a given, and the well-equipped rooms and public areas offer every amenity you could want in a hotel like this.

Hotel Danmark ***
The modest but well-appointed Hotel Danmark is situated close to Town Hall Square, near the railway station and Tivoli Gardens as well as the end of the famous Strøget shopping street. Mixing history and modernity, this 18th-century building is now a carbon-neutral hotel, while the ground floor is a well-regarded restaurant offering a range of traditional Danish dishes
