Hotel SP34, Copenhagen, Denmark

You're in the Latin Quarter, which is central albeit slightly off the beaten track, and well-connected to the rest of the city. Explore the narrow streets nearby lined with colourful townhouses, independent shops and cafés. You're about halfway between the fun of Tivoli and the foodie treats of Torvehallerne, both about ten minutes on foot.

This is a good part of town to shop for vintage clothers - many boutiques are a short stroll away.

By plane: direct flights to Copenhagen from London, Manchester and Edinburgh (1 hour 45 minutes). It's a 20-minute drive to the hotel. Parking costs DKK 290 per day. Book flights to Copenhagen.

The hotel is made up of three historic buildings, now joined together, and on the outside appears completely traditional. Inside, however, contemporary scandi design rules supreme - think poured concrete floors, pale wood tables and modular furniture. The walls are hung with contemporary artworks and a Sögreni bike provides an impressive central feature.

There's a free daily wine hour and nightcap hour. If you're more focused on keeping active, there's a small fitness room (open 24h) or in-room kits comprising weights, straps and a yoga mat. There's a private cinema, library and a roof terrace (open in summer). Staff can also help with bike rental and tips on running routes.
