The hotels in this guide span quite a range, not only in rates and location but also in character. Sample summer 2009 rates run from $158 per night for two people, with breakfast included, to $665 per night (don’t balk at the rate until you’ve read the review.)

All but two of the hotels are located in the heart of Copenhagen. Skovshoved, situated in a charming fishing village a four miles north of the Danish capital, is a lovely 22-room hotel with an award-winning restaurant, bar and a local pub next door (grab a beer and a Gammel Dansk and chat up the locals).

Also outside the heart of the city is the Hilton Copenhagen Airport, an excellent choice for those who want to “sleep in” before their flights home.

The other eight city-center hotels each have characters of their own.
