Copenhagen
What was once a department store is now the Skt Petri. Despite its size – the lobby looks like a furniture showroom – the place radiates warmth. The rooms are snug and comfortable, with tactile materials and a charcoal palette softened by blonde-timber flooring and rich splashes of deep green, purple, blue and bronze. Request a room on level four or higher for the best views.
Staff are affable and attentive and its location is right in the heart of the vibrant Latin Quarter.
