Best places to stay:
Brush shoulders with luvvies in the heart of theatreland at a high-rise hotel attached to one of the city’s most historic entertainment venues.
Inspired by retro music halls and an age of Hollywood glamour, communal areas are decorated with vanity lamps, vintage posters and dazzling readographs.
Built in 1958, the attached Falconer Center has played host to musical greats such as Judy Garland and Ella Fitzgerald, and their legacy is echoed throughout.
Both the bar and Green Room restaurant – serving surprisingly good Danish bistro-style food – have a clandestine speakeasy atmosphere, making every guest feel like an undercover celeb.
Disappointingly generic in comparison, rooms are still comfortable – and views from rooms on the 10th to 16th floors are show-stopping.
An industrial skyscraper softened by green surroundings in a leafy, affluent neighbourhood with a sophisticated arts scene. French-style cafes and boutiques spill onto sidewalks and nature is never far away: the attractive Frederiksberg Gardens is a 10-minute walk, while Copenhagen Zoo is a 20-minute stroll.
