AlexandraEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

Located just off of Rådhuspladsen, the Hotel Alexandra is a three-star stunner, and a must-stay for any fan of Danish design.

The reception and lobby area is a tribute to the country's slick style, complete with prints of chairs designed by Danes and mini models of the chairs lining the pretty black bookcases (stocked with art books, naturally). Appropriately, when we visited the hotel, a group of architects was sitting and soaking up this tasteful scenery.

The 61 rooms are every inch as Danish as the impressive lobby. Décor varies from room to room, though minimalism is the guiding principle throughout. As an extra-special addition, the Alexandra has 11 "retro design rooms" and two "retro De Luxe rooms." Every room is decorated exclusively with the furniture of a Danish design icon such as Arne Jacobsen. All rooms have white-tiled bathrooms outfitted with fresh fixtures.

A complimentary breakfast is served in the hotel's attractive breakfast room. In addition to its distinction as a Danish design mecca, the Alexandra is an environmentally-certified member of the Carbon Neutral Hotels association. In fact, if you opt out of housekeeping for the day, you'll receive a 100 DKK voucher for the Alexandra's restaurant.
