Skt. Petri
"What's the vibe here?"Relaxed luxury" are the words often used to describe Skt. Petri, and for good reason. This Latin Quarter hotel received a design overhaul in 2017 by Norwegian studio Anemone Wille Våge, and now the interiors have a soft, glamorous depth that brings new life to the historic architecture. Vilhelm Lauritzen's Modernist-style structure was built as a department store in 1928. What are the rooms like?Guest rooms have a sultry, regal palette of gold, deep blue, and touches of emerald; a geometric wall covering adds a dash of textural interest and subtle Middle Eastern vibes. How are the amenities? Are the toiletries the kind of thing you'll want to take home with you?Skt. Petri has collaborated with Danish design house Frama on a bespoke line of amenities that come in clean, simple packaging. The St. Paul’s Apothecary Collection is a nod to the old Copenhagen pharmacy that's now home to Frama’s studio and store. What are the dining options in the building?P Eatery does four-course tasting menus of modern Nordic cuisine; dishes might include turbot with caviar and potato, or Norwegian brown-butter scallops. Follow it up with a Dark & Stormy Petri Bar in the lobby. Are there any nooks around the hotel we should be sure to see while staying here?Take a break—over wine and pizza, perhaps—in the courtyard, a garden hideaway that's open from April to September. Bottom line: worth it, and why?This hotel exudes history, and it's located in a charming neighborhood." - Alia Akkam
