Fodor's Expert Review Admiral Hotel

A five-minute stroll from Nyhavn, overlooking old Copenhagen and Amalienborg, the massive Admiral was once a grain warehouse (circa 1787). Today it is one of the city's top hotels. Thick stone walls are broken by rows of windows; guest rooms mix maritime accents with modern furnishings and prints. Each room has a sitting area with leather sofas surrounded by 200-year-old exposed rafter beams. Rooms on the first through fourth floors also have French balconies. The SALT bar and restaurant lends Nordic touches to modern French brasserie food.
