hotel chic - copenhagen style!by brett |
My style-sleuthing is leading me to Copenhagen this summer and I came across these crazy Danish digs…
Hotel Fox is situated in the heart of the Danish capital, and touts itself as “the world’s most exciting and creative lifestyle hotel”. Designed by 21 international artists from the fields of graphic design, urban art and illustration, Hotel Fox is a gallery of 61 no-two-alike rooms of sheer, wacked-out whimsy…
My fave room is the “King’s Court 1″, designed by Birgit Amadori of Germany. A little bit fairy tale, a little bit Manga, it’s spare but strangely sumptuous at the same time. I’m also a sucker for great blue-and-white combos. And the Medusa on the walls is so very Versace!
Andreas Mindt’s startling “Highlights” room breathes life into the stark simplicity of an achromatic scheme with flowing lines and a real sense of motion. Not a room you’d want to be in after a dizzying night of partying, though.
Brisbane design collective Rinzen, conceived the “Dryads” room as a playful little fantasy-land. The raised bed is intended to suggest “walking into the heart of the forest”, surrounded by trees and fallen foliage.
Light, bright and refreshingly bonkers! I wonder what it would be like in person…
Check out the other 58 rooms here!

Again, I will soon be staying at the Blainville Motel 6. Maybe I could take some pictures for use in your next issue
Where’s the hairball room?
Thanks, Adam - but I think I’ll pass… LOL Unless you get bored and decide to makeover the Motel 6 room while you’re there - in which case I want before-and-after shots.
The “Hairball Room” is Room 114 - under the “Medium”-sized Rooms link… Check it out!!! Madness!
Wow! What a hotel, and the Hairball Room is far too… hmmm just cant find the words for it…odd for me! lol
I hope you have a great trip, we all are going to miss your great blog posts, but cant wait for all the great tips and finds you bring back with you!!
You might want to pass up the Hotel Fox, actually. It’s really gone downhill since it opened, and although the room shots on the website look great, they don’t reflect the reality of the place anymore. Try the Nyhavn Hotel to a real taste of Denmark! Hope this helps!
Thanks for the advice, Georg. I’m not going to be staying at the Hotel Fox - just thought the designs of the rooms were worth sharing.
