Phoenix Copenhagen

Frommer's Review

Though it falls a bit short of its goal, this government-rated four-star hotel poses a serious challenge to the discreet grandeur of the d'Angleterre. It saw the light of day in the 1680s, when it was constructed to accommodate the aristocratic courtiers of Amalienborg Palace, visible from the rear of the hotel. In 1847, the guesthouse was torn down and rebuilt as a luxury Victorian-style hotel, attracting the English nobility. Tons of white and colored marble were imported to create a modern version of the Louis XVI style. Beautiful wool carpeting and chandeliers add glamour to the standard guest rooms, but many are a bit too small for our tastes. If you're willing to pay more, opt for one of the business-class rooms or perhaps a suite. You'll catch us hanging out with Danish publishers in the English-style pub, Murdock's Books & Ale, with its mahogany and brass.
