Located about a 20-minute walk from the city center, the Avenue Hotel Copenhagen is a 68-room, upper-middle-range boutique hotel that makes for a refreshing alternative to properties in more touristy areas. With soft, neutral colors, high-end Missoni fabric accents, and cozy couches, the decor is stylish, modern, and welcoming, and highlights the work of Danish designers. Rooms are tastefully decorated and come with mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, but they don’t have AC and can get street noise. There’s a comfortable on-site bar, lounge, and outdoor terrace filled with soft couches and homey extras like books, games, and a children’s play area. Guests rave about the free breakfast buffet and take advantage of the on-site bike rentals. There are special amenities for kids and pets (though pets cost an extra fee). Travelers looking for something a bit more central could try the Andersen Hotel Copenhagen.
