<![CDATA[ We are suckers for a room with a killer view.  We find that we are even more likely to forgive some minor hotel inconveniences if we can stare out the window at something pretty--yeah we are that shallow. Let's help out our fellow hotel mavens by uploading rooms with killer views to the <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/hotelchatter/">HotelChatter/Flickr photo pool</a>, or by <a href="mailto:tips@hotelchatter.com">sending the photo along to us</a>. We will feature our favorites in this space from time to time. Remember to tell us the name of the hotel and the room number of the hot view.<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6929/killerviewdenmark.jpg" class="top"> When you look out the window of the <a href="http://www.hotel-bethel.dk/">Hotel Bethel</a>, don't you see, like, such a pretty picture that it reminds

Who Needs Champagne? Get Carbon Credits Instead in Copenhagen

We know those Scandinavians are a pretty innovative bunch, so it's not surprising that the claim to have the world's first 100% carbon neutral hotel chain comes out of Denmark. The chain is small, though, which makes it easier--just four hotels under the Brochner Hotel brand, including Ibsens Hotel, Hotel Kong Arthur and Hotel Danmark, all in Copenhagen.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/avenuhoteldk.jpg" class="imgborder">Now that New York's Fashion Week is almost over, what will fashionistas have to look forward to? Well, there's always Copenhagen! We had no idea that Fashion Week was going on in Copenhagen next week but it is and the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Avenue+Hotel/ian/223748">Avenue Hotel</a> is getting ready for the onslaught of fashion-minded guests. According to their hotel blog which is written by receptionist Rasmus:<blockquote>Only a few days left before Copenhagen Fashion Week officially begins which means the hotel will be bustling with activity (even more so than usual) and from Wednesday till Saturday various events will take place in the lounge....Furthermore, there's a slight and noticeable increase in the AOBL (Average Overall Beauty Level) with every other hotel guest

The Danhostel Copenhagen City: A 'Five-Star Hostel'

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/danhostel.jpg" class="imgborder">We knew things would go awry with New York Times reporter Seth Sherwood's review of Copenhagen's <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Danhostel+Copenhagen+City/local/1097">Danhostel</a> once he likened the idea of a "five-star hostel" to that of "gourmet fast-food" and "luxury trailer park." Though Sherwood didn't hate the place, he seems pretty ambivalent about it, and with good reason. While the locale is good (described as "the edge of the Copenhagen city center"), the rooms are so barren Sherwood says his "felt like a prison cell designed by Ikea." That's not the hotel's only trait reminiscent of bygone college days. Sherwood says bathrooms resemble closets (though perhaps unlike most dorm bathrooms, these were very clean) and that the basement offers a television lounge

Our tip for a reasonably-priced hotel near the Copenhagen station is the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Best+Western+Hotel+Hebron/ian/131749">Hotel Hebron</a>. It's a 1900 building and a long-serving hotel which is now run by the Best Western chain, and it's really just a few minutes' walk from the central station.The added bonus is it's also just a short stroll from some of Copenhagen's most visited tourist attractions including the Tivoli Gardens and the famous shopping street of Strøget (there's that funny "o" again).
