Oozing a jazzy elegance and with exemplary service, the Store Kro is based around an inn that was created in 1723 to host supplicants visiting King Christian IX's court. Cheaper rooms are in an annexe wing behind, with design-book sinks but 140cm queen beds. For bigger mattresses, newer showers and more antique-style furniture, pay more for the main historic building.
Beds are super-comfy and better rooms have balconies overlooking the hotel lawns. Don't miss the chance to unwind in the glass-ceilinged, black-walled library.
The hotel is just 200m south of the palace gates. Guests get free use of city-style bicycles.
