Hotel Guldsmeden Bertrams

Frommer's Review

This is the newer and more elegant twin of the also-recommended Carlton Hotel Guldsmeden. Both lie within about 300 yards of one another, on a wide and busy boulevard that runs into the rear of Copenhagen's Central Railway station, within about a 10-minute walk. Rising six stories, the hotel originated in 2006, after a 19th-century town house was radically restored, with special emphasis on the landscaping within the building's central courtyard. Rooms overlook the courtyard, the noisy Vesterbrogade, or the quieter neighborhood in back. Furniture in the bedrooms was imported from Indonesia, and includes four-poster beds and the heavy, artfully simple lines in natural wood that go well with the concepts of Danish modern design and the bright pastel colors in which the rooms are painted. We are especially delighted with the organic breakfast buffet, with excellent grainy breads, homemade yogurt, charcuterie, and French cheese -- all served on hand-decorated Mexican crockery. Staff is friendly and accommodating, and overall, the hotel is viewed as a well-chosen, well-conceived middle-bracket choice within a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood loaded with bars, cafes, and increasingly distant memories of the porno shops and sex-industry staples that used to flourish here.
