A City Guide by CEREAL

Perched on the eastern edge of Sjlland island and linked to Malm in Sweden by the soaring resund Bridge, Copenhagen is the birthplace of New Nordic Cuisine and home to Hans Christian Andersons legacy of fairytales. While other cities are embodied by towers, castles or palaces, the Danish capital sports a twentieth-century bronze statue of a mermaid, barely four feet high: understatement is the hallmark of this center of world class design. But if all the clean lines get to be too much, head for the whirling opulence of the Tivoli Gardens, or venture into nature. Copenhagen has perfected a lifestyle for every season.

Set behind the Royal Danish Theater, Hotel Sandersfounded by former ballet dancer Alexander Klpinhas a fitting air of theatricality. The in-house cocktail bar, TATA, is named for the red curtain used between performances at the nearby theater. Velvet curtains feature throughout the interiors, designed by Lind + Almond, which blend mid-century modern elements, rattan, and potted plants. With a lounge, courtyard, and roof terrace to relax in, Hotel Sanders has everything required for an intimate and memorable stay.
