Frommer's Highly Recommended

This 1880 landmark hotel near the Central Station was growing a bit stale but a major postmillennium overhaul has given it a new lease on life. It should be around for at least another 100 years if it keeps having those periodic face-lifts. The charm of the old structure, where celebrities -- the \"Who's Who of Yesterday\" -- used to stay, was preserved and respected. But all the midsize-to-spacious bedrooms were tastefully and comfortably updated with modern amenities installed. Bathrooms are quite superior, generous in size, and furnished with tub/shower combos. Singles opening onto the courtyard are more tranquil but don't have views, and the corner rooms are the best and most expensive because they have been the most recently renovated and are larger.

The Frascati Bar overflows in summer onto a sidewalk cafe, and the Restaurant Frascati serves freshly prepared Italian specialties. We like the Grand a lot and nostalgically recall that it was our first-ever choice for a hotel on our inaugural visit to Copenhagen years ago.
