HYGGE HOTELS

HOTEL D’ANGLETERRE Tracing its history back to 1755, Hotel d’Angleterre is nothing short of a Danish institution. Thankfully, the hotel has had a renovation or two since the 18th century, with rooms now boasting ritzy details like glittering chandeliers and neoclassical-style paneling alongside modern touches such as Bang & Olufsen televisions and in-room climate control systems. Book the aptly named Royal Suite for the height of opulence. Elsewhere in the hotel there’s the Michelin-starred restaurant, Marchal, which deftly blends modern Nordic and classic French cuisines, as well as the sophisticated Balthazar Champagne Bar. Royal Suite from $8,674.

VILLACOPENHAGEN As the newest in Copenhagen’s roster of fi ve-star hotels (it fi rst opened in 2020 but, naturally, it’s been a staggered grand reveal), Villa Copenhagen is causing quite the stir. Occupying the former home of the Central Post and Telegraph Head O ffi ce, just a stone’s throw from the historic Tivoli Gardens, Villa is as stately as it is modern, with a sensitive restoration highlighting the building’s rich heritage with more than a touch of chic design prowess. The hotel has an impressive 390 rooms, but a reservation in the uber-cool Shamballa Jewel Suite, complete with framed pieces from the Danish jeweler, promises an unforgettable stay. Don’t miss the hotel’s rooftop pool — sustainably heated with otherwise wasted energy from elsewhere in the building—or the zero-waste, brasserie-style restaurant, Kontrast. Shamballa Jewel Suite from$2,150. Contact reservation@villacph.com, +45 787 300 00, villacopenhagen.com

NIMB HOTEL Nestled alongside the beautiful Tivoli Gardens, Nimb Hotel is seemingly a world away frommodern Europe with its Moorish-style facade lifted straight from the pages of a storybook. A 2017 extension saw a more modern wing added to the hotel and more than doubled the room count, but it remains invitingly boutique. The extension also featured an all-new rooftop club and pool, open to members and hotel guests only. Of the 38 rooms, the two executive suites — Suite Louise and Suite Vilhelm— are the Nimb’s most coveted keys, with luxuriously deep soaking tubs and expansive terraces featuring views over Tivoli. Executive Suites from $3,870. Contact concierge@nimb.dk, +45 887 000 00, nimb.dk
