Room 212: Japanese Garden

This room was designed by Simone Legno (also known as tokidoki), whose Japanese-inspired designs can be found on t-shirts, bags, and apparently now, in hotel rooms. Simone grew up in Rome and now lives in Los Angeles.

Room 306: Pico-Pico

This stark white minimalist room was designed by Kim Hiorthøy, a young Norwegian designer, artist, musician, film-maker and photographer. Definitely not for messy people.

Room 202: You are a baby

It’s not hard to see why this room is called “You are a baby”. The bright primary colors and the replica of a child’s toy attached to the ceiling, make this room a sheer joy to sleep in. It was designed by Boris Hoppek, a German urban artist.

These are only three of the rooms at Hotel Fox, and if they are not available when you book, the other rooms are just as fabulous. The hotel has a sushi restaurant called Sushi Treat, which is open for dinner. There’s free Wi-Fi, bicycles and iPods for rent, and even taxi-sharing with other guests. Room rates hover around 130 EUR for a medium room (2 persons sharing). It’s very hard to pin down the rates because they have many specials including one for 18-40 year olds.

Copenhagen is one of those beautiful, off-the-beaten-track Northern European cities that you hope the budget airline hordes never discover because it’s so civilized and graceful. This year, Monocle, a design magazine, designated Copenhagen as the most livable city (and the Best Design City). Now that I have convinced you to visit Copenhagen, here’s where you should stay.
