"Best Copenhagen hotel for: serenity in the city This is the Swedish brand’s first property in Denmark, just a few minutes’ walk from the Tivoli Gardens, and the smooth serenity of its sister hotel in Stockholm is very much in evidence. The stripped-back approach to interior design works well in this hefty building, once home to the Royal Danish Conservatory of Music, with its high ceilings, central marble staircase, and beautiful, ornate coving. For its latest incarnation, the 77 bedrooms are pleasingly weighty, with dusky-blue walls and herringbone-pattern wood floors, graphic dark-wood four-poster beds and plenty of Danish design details (even the black clothes hangers are from local interiors store Hay). Of course, in this city of fanatical Nordic foodies, restaurants matter and Nobis’s taupe-toned dining room is a formal affair with ambitions to match. Local ingredients are celebrated in dishes taking inspiration from across Europe at Restaurant NOI and seasonal cocktails with Scandinavian influence are shaken and stirred at the Marble Bar. More subdued is the little wine cellar, a cozy but unadorned room which operates as a drinking den for those in the know. There is also an ultra-secluded (guests only) hammam with a sauna and cold plunge pool. Hewn out of white marble, it is, like much of the rest of the hotel, a lesson in peaceful, modern minimalism.
