Housed in a much-renovated 19th-century townhouse in the heart of the rapidly gentrifying Vesterbro neighborhood, within a 15-minute walk west from Tivoli and the Central Railway Station, this is a government-rated three-star hotel offering good value and occasional doses of genuine charm. The structure might be old, but the bedrooms are contemporary-looking and up-to-date, ranging from small to midsize. Each is handsomely decorated in a vaguely French colonial style with high ceilings, wood paneling, and four-poster beds imported from Indonesia. The best rooms contain such luxuries as fireplaces, balconies with summer furniture, and claw-foot bathtubs instead of showers. The place is made more homelike and inviting by the original art decorating the walls and a judicious use of elegant teak furnishings, along with carpets from Pakistan and pottery from Mexico. Its newer sister hotel, Bertram's Hotel Guldsmeden, is more charming and a bit more plush, and, unlike the Carlton, contains its own restaurant.
