Place to sleep: Hotel Fox, Copenhagen, Denmark

About this place:

The Hotel Fox is a contemporary boutique hotel that's conveniently located in central Copenhagen. Each of the hotel's 61 rooms is decorated in a whimsical style designed by an emerging artist. (Apparently, the hotel was created with support from Volkswagen, as part of the carmaker's launch of the Volkswagen Fox subcompact. Happily, there's no trace of VW branding anywhere onsite.) The staff is friendly, and there's a nice continental-style breakfast served in the lobby each morning. Be advised: At night the lobby becomes a bar and nightspot, and its relatively popular, so expect to find a crowd in the lobby when you return to the hotel in the evening.
