Ibsens Hotel

Frommer's Review

The Brøchner-Mortensen family succeeds in combining an old-fashioned nostalgia with all the modern amenities today's traveler demands. A charming, government-rated three-star hotel in the Nansensgade area, right by the lakes, it is convenient for trips to both Rosenborg Palace and the Tivoli Gardens. In an area filled with cafes and trendy restaurants, the hotel first opened its doors in 1906, surviving wars, occupation, and changing tastes, and somehow keeping abreast of it all. The guest rooms are comfortably and tastefully furnished, each well maintained and containing private bathrooms that are a bit cramped but have tub/shower combos. These cozy rooms open onto a beautiful courtyard. We like the way the hotel offers you a choice of decor on each floor. One floor, for example, showcases Danish modern, whereas another floor has more of a bohemian aura and is filled with antiques. "If you're a modernist and your tastes are minimalist, we have a bed awaiting you," said a member of the reception staff. "But if you're the more exuberant type -- wildly romantic -- we can also provide a nest for your poetic soul."
