The story

Alexander Kølpin, trained at the Royal Danish Ballet's school and later a theatre director, made the hotel a personal project; he and his father, the architect Jes Kølpin, own it through Kølpin Hotels, which also runs Helenekilde Badehotel in Tisvilde.⁵² It stands on a cobbled street behind the old stage of the Royal Theatre, close to Nyhavn and Amalienborg.⁶ Its 54 rooms range from small Coupé rooms inspired by old train cabins to apartments with open fireplaces, furnished in rattan, bamboo, velvet and green leather.⁶² Sanders Residence, a building from 1801, looks over the King's Garden by Rosenborg Castle.²
