As the weather begins to cool, wanderlusts craving sun-tinged escapism may be tempted to catch a flight to the balmy shores of the Mediterranean or even South East Asia. What if the rest and recuperation you seek could be found in a city you’d least expect? Copenhagen has built its reputation as a hub for architecture and design lovers, foodies and Scandi style enthusiasts. With its tropical design features and ethical ethos, Hotel Manon les Suites presents a peaceful hideaway from the bustle of city bikes and endless exhibits.
Located right in the city centre and less than 30 minutes from the airport, Manon les Suites is an ideal base for exploring one of Europe’s most enriching cities. It is a restful treasure amid all the art and culture that Copenhagen has to offer. Not only is the hotel within walking distance of attractions like Tivoli gardens, but it’s a stone’s throw away from lively restaurants and Danish bakeries. Self care is at the heart of the hotel, featuring a roof sauna, a large gym and a beautiful jungle fish pool that feels like the essence of Bali transported to the Nordics. By inviting the outside in with green foliage, nature becomes the centrepiece of the pool which is a hub for guests to gather.
Aside from its IG worthy pool, what is most impressive about Manon les Suites is its attention to sustainability. Its interiors are inspired by Balinese design with dark woods and earth tones that lend a zen feel. Featuring natural, recycled materials and a rich and cosy colour palette, the rooms are spacious and airy with the classic suite including a living room and kitchenette. Not one detail is overlooked, from the toilet paper in the bathrooms to linens that line the wooden beds, it is incredibly refreshing to see a hotel genuinely commit to sustainable choices that blend beauty, functionality and comfort.
The mindfulness of a place like Manon les Suites also shines in its Asian fusion restaurant Chapung which features a fresh and locally sourced menu by acclaimed chef Nan Kanokwan Kortaisong. Whether you are seeking a change of pace from the typical late summer getaway or are curious to experience sustainable luxury with Balinese charm, Manon les Suites sets itself apart in both design and ethos.
Manon les Suites is an adults only (15+) hotel open for booking here.
