Travel Diaries

Design-centered Days in Copenhagen

by Jessica Wright

Effortlessly cool, Copenhagen is a destination for those who love a good sense of space and style. Once a fishing colony, the city has a bright and rather stress-free mood today. With plenty of places to experience its buzzing design culture, the Danish capital knows how to blend the best of Scandinavia and Europe.

Stay

Hotel d'Angeleterre champagne breakfast Hotel d'Angleterre room

In the heart of the action and footsteps from the picturesque Nyhaven, the Hotel d’Angleterre is both luxurious and cozy. Ask any Danish person and you’ll get recollections of this historic hotel that go far back, providing insight to just how iconic it is. The champagne breakfast buffet and the Amazing Space d’Angletterre Spa with a serene pool are few of the favorite amenities onsite. Newly renovated, lush touches like purple velvet couches and spacious suites make the hotel a perfect hideout while visiting Copenhagen.

Explore

FRAMA Botanisk Have

The plentiful pedestrian streets of Copenhagen are at their best in the morning. You can small the fresh bread from local bakeries and cafes on almost every corner. For those looking to dive into design, be sure to start at the Designmuseum Denmark for a proper introduction. From here, make your way to Frama, where you can find beautiful goods made of natural materials in a photogenic space.

There are plenty of other things to see, like the views of historic boats at Nyhavn and an afternoon of fun at Tivoli Gardens. At Botanisk Have, Copenhagen’s botanical gardens, you can wind up the stairs and walk through a lush garden. Their café is perfect for a cup of coffee afterwards.

Eat

Atelier September

As an epicenter for Michelin-star restaurants, Copenhagen makes choosing a restaurant a tough decision, as there are many good ones to choose from. For those looking for a Danish breakfast, there’s Atelier September, Coffee Collective, and Grød in the Torvehallerne Market. A stand out restaurant for lunch is at the design-forward space of Admiralgrade 26, where Japanese flavors are combined with local ingredients in a pre fixe menu. Be sure to make it to the Meatpacking District to dine at Restaurant Kul, followed by a drink at Jolene Bar afterwards.
