"Best Copenhagen hotel for: design aficionados Opened in 2019, design-led Audo fits perfectly into the up-and-coming Nordhavn neighborhood on the northern edge of Copenhagen developing from its origins as a port to become a design-centric residential, work, and lifestyle enclave in which design studios and cafes are transforming its heritage buildings to retain the warmth and soul of the area. Bjarne Hansen, who is also behind Menu design company, created The Audo in collaboration with Norm Architects and the cofounder of Kinfolk magazine, Nathan Williams. Behind the original dark-orange façade of a former trade house, this impeccably designed and styled space now encompasses a 10-room hotel, cafe, fine dining restaurant, and concept store, all centered around an amphitheatrical staircase, in which all items of decor can be bought through the hybrid design concept. Generously sized, residential-style accommodation including suites, studio suites and a penthouse continue the design concept of the rest of the property and come with a careful curation of complimentary minibar items, breakfast in The Audo Salon, and use of bicycles for exploration of Copenhagen using The Audo’s own City Guide. Summer 2022 saw the opening of this design concept’s new fine dining Restaurant Hâidan serving the 18-course tasting menus of Palermo-born chef Gabriele Rizzo, fusing Chinese and Scandinavian culinary traditions.
