                <description><![CDATA[This is a really special hotel with a very strong emphasis on environmental matters, e.g they do not sell bottled water and all the food is organic. <br><br>The breakfast is to die for. Not your "Full Irish" (or English). I don't believe I have met such genuinely friendly and helpful staff in any hotel, not just something out of the customer service manual.<br><br>The hotel is very central, close to the Tivoli Gardens, Rail Station and the pedestrianised shopping street. One negative - a little close to the red light district. And it's not cheap.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Is one of the Guldsmeden chain of boutique hotels, and is a wonderful haven of luxury in funky Vesterbro. Four-poster beds, flat screen TVs, slipper baths with claw feet, and a stonkingly good organic buffet breakfast.  Knowledgeable and friendly staff - a great base for Copenhagen.  There's another branch called the Carlton, and another planned for 2007.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Great boutique hotel near centre of town. Conceived as promotional project for VW, 21 international designers and urban artists were briefed to design unique rooms. Result is a strange and otherworldy experience. Highly recommended, staff are helpful and breakfasts terrific - served on day beds/sofas in funky foyer. Click onto website to see all the rooms. Even if you don't choose to stay, you must try the cocktails in the ground floor bar/restaurant which is open to all.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[We stayed at Avenue Hotel (Aboulevard 29), which was absolutely lovely.<br><br>It was a fair walk from the centre, but nothing too far. Nice, functional bedrooms. Lovely, comfy bar/lounge (nice food, but a choice of only two main meals). Brilliant breakfasts, lovely decor and very good staff. <br><br>You have to shop around a lot of websites to find a good hotel for a good price, it is one thing which is generally a lot more expensive than the UK.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Ironic isn't it? The design hotel phenomenon was late in coming to this Mother of All Design Nations. But Hotel Sankt Petri has got the whole concept wrapped up. Housed in an old department store, the hotel offers an über modern hotel experience. In short, it's the urban resort of choice for the demanding, travelling urbanite. There's a bar, brasserie and a cafe.]]></description>
