Nimb, Copenhagen

Copenhagen is one of Europe’s hottest destinations, home to a restaurant recently voted the best in the world (René Redzepi’s Noma) and a host of exciting new designers.

In the Nimb, it has a boutique hotel to match, says Condé Nast Traveller – a "fantastical yet incredibly hip place" overlooking the Tivoli Gardens, the city’s much-loved traditional fairground.

The hotel’s 19th century façade looks like "an Arabian palace", but inside it is a temple to modern Nordic design. The décor is pale and "unfussy", incorporating dark oak and grey Öland stone, and each of the 13 rooms is decked out in rich fabrics and a mix of contemporary and antique furniture.

There are three restaurants, one of which – the Michelin-starred Nimb Herman – specialises in contemporary Danish cuisine.
