Hotel Fox

Frommer's Review

In 2005, one of Copenhagen's most unusual and trend-conscious hotels opened within the premises of what until then had been a staid and predictable staple (the Park Hotel) on the Copenhagen hotel scene. The owners solicited the talents of 21 separate designers from throughout Europe, each of whom submitted plans for new interior decors that reflected their individual whims and priorities. The result is a small-scale hotel that really appreciates the concept of "design" and which, in the opinion of some detractors, has carried it to levels that are almost overwhelming. Its white-painted facade carries renditions of street graffiti that might be almost too artful or too "carefully rehearsed." Each room is a highly idiosyncratic work of art, ranging from tongue-in-cheek enclaves of camp to rigorously streamlined case studies for postindustrial minimalism. Unless you've already requested a particular theme in advance, a computer at the reception desk will show you the visuals of where you're about to sleep. Choices, among many others, include a room dominated by a theme related to boxing, a unit filled with taurine (bull-inspired) souvenirs, an accommodation with syrupy reminders of Heidi, and one devoted to an all-American theme that features extra-wide beds for fullbacks and their Brunhilds.
