A New Wave of Hotels Wants You to Shop Their Interiors | Vogue

"Housed within a magnificent 18th-century building in Copenhagen’s historic centre, this trio of intimate apartments is meticulously curated as a living tribute to Danish design. Conceived by founders Jens Løkke and Uffe Buchard, who were frustrated by falling in love with hotel furnishings they couldn’t bring home, the space removes that barrier so that everything—from iconic Finn Juhl furniture and Louis Poulsen lighting to custom Københavns Møbelsnedkeri kitchens—is available to purchase. Artwork is a major draw; working with leading Copenhagen galleries and over 60 local artists, the team personally curates and hangs every piece, selling a work on average every third day so the art is constantly changing and guests encounter something new on each stay. This ever-evolving collection keeps the interiors feeling fresh and lets guests engage with pieces at the cutting edge of the Danish art scene, seeing how art interacts with furniture, colours, and light rather than against sterile white gallery walls. Monthly events further bridge hospitality and the art world, inviting a wider community into the guest house and allowing visitors to experience and potentially acquire works in a warm, lived-in setting." - Stephanie Gavan

9 Best New Hotels in Copenhagen, Denmark - AFAR

"It doesn’t get more central than this. Located just off Strøget—the city’s main pedestrian shopping street—this single-residence guest house opened in late 2020 and was curated by the Darling Creative design studio. Inside you’ll find classic Danish design: an Arne Jacobsen’s Egg chair in the living room, a Septima pendant lamp by Poul Henningsen in the dining room, and a Nyhavn desk by Finn Juhl in the study. Want to bring something home? The entire guesthouse is shoppable—all you have to do is visit shopthedarling.dk." - Lyndsey Matthews

It was an unforgettable experience staying at The Darling. From the moment I arrived, I was completely enchanted by the beautiful design and the incredible attention to detail. Every piece of furniture, art work and the sound system has clearly been chosen with great care. The location is absolutely wonderful, surrounded by charming shops, cafés, and restaurants, which made exploring Copenhagen so easy and enjoyable. I was deeply impressed by everything during my stay and would return in a heartbeat.

Great location (mall just outside), great artwork and sound system (B&O), well equipped kitchen with milk and oat milk in the fridge. There was jam, honey and crackers, a lovely bottle of wine and a matcha making kit. Very impressed with the overall presentation of the apartment. Negatives- 38 steps to the room (no lift), if ur a light sleeper- church bell rings at 8am and can be noisy with late party goers, the raised threshold between rooms annoyed me. Please note only 2 people allowed for a very generous sized apartment. We stayed in the Grand.
