Frommer's Highly Recommended

The word "ascot," because of its British associations, usually suggests elegance -- but not so here. This is one of the best small hotels in Copenhagen, despite the perception that it's in need of some sprucing up. On a side street about a 2-minute walk from Town Hall Square, the inn of personality and charm was built in 1902 (on 492 wooden pilings rescued from a medieval fortification that had previously stood on the site). In 1994, the hotel annexed an adjacent building designed in the 19th century as a bath house; its black-marble columns and interior bas-reliefs are historically notable. Martin Nyrop, who designed the landmark Town Hall, also was the architect for the bathhouse. The furniture is rather standard, but the finest units open onto the street. Nevertheless, the units in the rear get better air circulation and more light. The tiled bathrooms are generous in size and equipped with tub/shower combos.
