Copenhagen Island Hotel ReviewThis wildly innovative hotel rises from a position that's adjacent to the waterfront of Copenhagen's south harbor. It all began in 1999 with the filling in of marshy lowlands, then proceeded with the dredging of a canal that now surrounds it, like a medieval moat, on three sides. The result is literally an "island" ringed with boardwalks. Once you're inside, you'll find the place either fascinating or terrifying -- or perhaps a combination of both -- thanks to vertigo-inducing catwalks that crisscross the soaring glass-enclosed lobby. In contrast to the minimalism of the lobby area, bedrooms are compact, even claustrophobic, much akin to white-walled cabins within a cruise ship. Each contains some jazzy decorative touches and fancy-schmancy lighting tricks, but nothing that really masks the cramped dimensions and the sense of cookie-cutter regularity. "Executive" status will get you a balcony that juts out above the cobblestones of the harborfront promenade, but not a lot more.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
