Stay

Villa Copenhagen

Our top choice in Copenhagen. Design and service are both impeccable at Villa, and sustainability is clearly of great importance (not totally surprising for one of the most sustainable cities in the world). The stunning rooftop pool is heated with waste energy, and they've dedicated an entire suite to be 100% sustainable, incorporating all-recycled materials. Kontrast Brasserie (the in-house restaurant) is also carbon-free and zero food waste. Popular amongst locals, on-site Rug Bakery is the perfect morning spot for freshly baked pastries. The lightest-filled rooms are on the 1st and 2nd floors, but if you’re looking for something moodier request the attic spaces on the 4th floor.

Eat & Drink

Apotek 57

Located within Frama Studio's design store, Apotek 57's space feels more like your friend's living room with an open-kitchen, than a classic 'cafe'. A homey and comfy ambiance, great for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon pick-me-up. Make sure you get there early to secure the cardamom buns (a must) and pastries—they tend to sell out by 2pm.

Art

Louisiana Museum of Art

An easy train ride from Copenhagen, Louisiana is an impressive combination of modern art, architecture and landscape. Beautiful and small interconnected buildings perched on a hill facing the sea—it's incredibly recharging and peaceful just to sit in the sculpture garden (a real highlight)—in pure awe, admiration and appreciation.
