Copenhagen Hotel Guide - Where to stay, eat and shop in Copenhagen

The perfect hotel for those looking for something central - the Grand Joanne straddles the bustling Indre By and hipster Vesterbro neighbourhoods of Copenhagen. With the airport a 20 minute drive away and Copenhagen's Grand Central Station just 200metres from the hotel, this is a great option, particularly if you are only staying for a couple of days as I am!

Mixing old-fashioned hospitality with Danish design, the Grand Joanne has a feminine flair, with wood accents and statement carpets. Complete with a leafy roof terrace which is perfect for city-gazing, don't forget to sample a few plates in the hotel's namesake bar and restaurant! And if you have a little more time, Grand Joanne is a partner of Aire Ancient Baths in nearby Carlsberg City - complete with vaulted thermal pools and soothing treatment rooms, this more than makes up for the lack of spa on site!

An elegant and historic city hotel choice, the Nobis Hotel, Copenhagen is almost as beautiful outside as it is inside. Situated directly opposite the Tivoli Gardens, this hotel offers first-class service, contemporary rooms and great pre-dinner cocktails from the hotel's Marble Bar.

Stylish restaurant Noi is also worth a visit - based in the 1960s annexe, this wide open space was designed by Swedish architect Gert Wingardh and serves both large and small plates beneath suspended pendant lighting. A romantic and warm setting serving a seasonal menu, it is open Tuesday-Saturday.

A quirky bolthole situated in central Copenhagen. With just a pinch of Scandi minimalism and a whole lot of opulence (think dark fairy-tale) the Nimb Hotel, Copenhagen is just inside Tivoli Gardens, opposite Copenhagen Central Station!  It's dome topped exterior is as unique as it's interior which features bird motifs, chandeliers and deep jewel-toned bedding and dark furniture.

Benefits include private access to Tivoli Gardens as well as the hotel gym and spa. Sip coffee or a negroni in Nimb Bar - housed in a former ballroom - by day, and opt for the Brasserie terrace at night for a front-row view of Tivoli's lights.

A little bit of a different one - but definitely one to keep in mind for a romantic break or a special trip away. The Darling is a boutique stay in Copenhagen's Old City set along the shopping haven of Strøget Street. Comprising of two self-contained pieds-à-terre, the Grand and the Classic, these are the apartments that design dreams are made of! If you are a fan of interiors, you can't miss pieces by Hans Wenger and Arne Jacobsen alongside Finn Juhl and Børge Mogensen.

Given the arrangement, there are of course no restaurants on site, however each residence has its own custom made kitchen, so why not try your hand at some local cuisine - the concierge can arrange your food to be delivered before your arrival - or for a special occasion, why not have a chef do it for you!

Enjoying a prime location in the heart of Copenhagen, the Babette Guldsmeden is my choice of stay this time around. Just steps away from some of the City's most iconic landmarks - including the Royal Palace and The Little Mermaid Statue - and more importantly for me, conveniently located near Copenhagen's primary shopping district!

With a Green Key and Green Globe certification, the hotel has 98 rooms and a quaint courtyard fusing Scandinavian and Indonesian design. Decor is a blend of oriental rugs, stone sinks and wooden floors. An oasis of tranquilirty within the heart of the city!
