d'Angleterre
"Where is this hotel located?Kongens Nytorv, Copenhagen’s largest public square, is home to the Royal Danish Theatre, Charlottenborg Palace, and Hotel d’Angleterre, the city’s most famous accommodations. This restaurant-turned-hotel, a 1755 Neoclassical palace that was updated in the 1870s by Danish architect Jens Vilhelm Dahlerup—who also lent his savvy to the neighboring theater—remains an icon of evolving luxury. What are the rooms like?Guest rooms have a soothing palette that's heavy on cream with pops of purple and velvety textures. Sixty of Hotel d'Angleterre’s 92 rooms are suites, and even if the Royal Suite—the A-list retreat with gilded panelling and a balcony overlooking Kongens Nytorv—is booked, the alternatives will surely fulfill all your pampering needs. ... And what about the bathrooms?Commodious bathrooms feature Japanese-style shower toilets. We've heard good things about the dining options here.Michelin-starred Marchal is special-occasion dining at its finest, fusing French and Nordic cuisines into a menu that includes pigeon baked in puff pastry and Champagne-steamed turbot for two. At Balthazar, the sleek, chandelier-strewn Champagne bar, snack on gougères and listen to the DJ while perusing the list of more than 200 bubblies. If we need a break from a day of sightseeing, where should we go?Unwind in the Asian-inspired spa or the heated indoor swimming pool. So what's the appeal of this place?Dignitaries and celebrities have long flocked to Hotel d'Angleterre—and they show no sign of stopping. This historic, palatial site has epitomized grandeur for more than 250 years." - Alia Akkam
