Overview
3 Star, Superior Tourist Class Traditional Hotel
The hotel is located in Frederiksberg, one of the nicest districts of Copenhagen and only a ten to fifteen minute walk to the city centre. The newly renovated Avenue hotel is easily one of Copenhagen's best hotels, as a privately run design focused property with a passion for excellent style.
All rooms have been renovated during 2005 and are now by far the best in Copenhagen in either the 3 or 4 star category. The rooms are medium to large in size and have been designed with an attention to detail and a personal touch making them exude character, charm and style. The rooms boast flatscreen Lava TV's from Sweden, Bestlite lamps commissioned especially for the hotel and bright and funky bedspreads by Missoni of Italy. To offset these feature items the rooms have been designed in soft neutral colours and carpet giving the rooms an elegant but cosy and comfortable feel. Then finally each room is decorated with photography from some of the best and most up and coming Danish photographers comfirming the rooms to be some of the most delightful in Copenhagen.
The restaurant is located to the left of the entrance on the ground floor. It has been beautifully renovated and now boasts a cafe feel, with stylish black chairs and huge engaging pictures hanging from the walls and a light wooden floor throughout. Although their is no restuarant in the hotel, they decided on the unique but excellent choice of employing a professional chef, meaning a hearty breakfast full of Danish traditons and light snacks being able to be cater for on request in the hotel's bar.
This classic building, over four storeys is traditional Danish architechture with rendered walls and large windows. It was designed by Emil Blichfeldt who also designed Tivoli's main entrance. The lobby area at the Avenue is the heart of the hotel and focal point for meeting and socialising. The centre point of the lobby space is a huge horse shoe shaped bar and reception desk, to one side is where check-in is carried out while to rear is the bar. The bar has been designed with cosiness and warmth in mind, and it inspires talk and relaxation with grey velour sofa's from Italy, book shelfs full of style and architecture books and a modern sandstone fireplace. To the rear of the lobby which was designed by the famous architect Mikael Mammen, is a small shop selling many of the furniture items in the rooms as well as two computer terminals for those who do not have their own with them to use the wi-fi in the rooms.
The newly renovated Avenue hotel is one of the best hotels in Copenhagen. A design hotel in essence it retains the family feeling and ownership it has always had. The rooms and facilities exude style and inspiration for an enjoyable stay, while the architects touch can be seen throughout. And these little gems always take your attention, such as the delightful courtyard where the greenest of green plants, wooden decking, lanterns, and soft cushion seating make for a veritable city oasis. An excellent value for money property with the friendliest of staff and service, and all in a quiet but perfect location for exploring Copenhagen. Highly recommended.
