Front Hotel Copenhagen

Frommer's Review

From the outside, this boxy-looking building might remind you of the rash of angular modern construction that blossomed throughout Central Europe during the Cold War. On the inside, however, it's one of the hottest and most appealing recently opened hotels in town. It originated in 1964 as a hotel. After several different configurations, most recently a radical upgrade in 2005, it now enjoys a link with the nearby Hotel d'Angleterre, one of the most elegant and most expensive in town, and a location close to the very central Nyhavn Canal. Throughout, the decor is minimalist and somewhat self-consciously linked to the Spartan-looking heyday of Denmark's modern design movement. In fact, it's so minimalist that some parts of it, including the lobby area, might remind you of a college dormitory, except for the snazzily uniformed and endearingly cheerful staff. Bedrooms benefit from very large windows, high-quality Danish modern furniture, lots of sunlight, and panoramic views, and are accessible via the hotel's only really visible drawback -- small, awkwardly configured elevators that are simply too cramped for the amount of use they get. Bedrooms contain furniture, some of it upholstered with black leather, that evoke the best in postmillennium design.
