Don’t be surprised by the bicycles stacked outside the hotel. Bikes are a popular transport vehicle in Copenhagen. You should actually watch out for them if you are a pedestrian. The lobby includes a guest library and a shop where you can buy hotel memorabilia and small design items, designed by the very same designers, who has been the inspiration for the boutique hotel; Arne Jacobsen, Hans J. Wegener, Finn Juhl and Børge Mogensen.
In the Verner Panton Suite you may read that Panton is considered the most colorful and inventive designer of his time. He experimented with color, materials, and production methods in innovative lighting and furniture designs
The living room features a pair of 1-2-3 lounge chairs from 1973 and his Studio-line sitting group from 1961. His wire shelf is used as a table and his potent Geometry carpet from the 60s unifies the center of the room. His most classic design, the Panton Chair, is used as a desk chair. First produced in 1966, it was the world’s first floating chair molded in polyurethane without any seams or joints.
Under his impressive Kugel Pendant Lamp in the deep blue bedroom, the bed is made by using his iconic geometric prints as a bedcover, and his wire shelves act as bedside tables. The Pantop Table Lamps are used as bedside lights.
We recommend this Copenhagen hotel to all our readers searching for high class comfort in the middle of the city. We recommend to book early in advance, since this seems to be an extremely popular second home for business people.
