Newer still and with a totally different energy is at 69-room Park Lane Copenhagen, which opened in a historic building (once a cinema) in Hellerup in January 2025. Local design studio &Tempel oversaw the modernization that involved preserving many of the property’s original details, such as stucco ceilings and grand chandeliers. Layered on top are creature comforts that speak to contemporary jetsetters, like marble fixtures, chevron wood floors, sleek wardrobes with built-in LED lighting, and sculptural lamps and sconces.
Where to Eat and Drink
From indulgent bakeries to innovative fine-dining meccas to the hippest natural wine bars you can think of, we all know that Copenhagen is one of the most exciting food-and-drink destinations on the planet. But if you think you have to stay in the heart of the city to experience the best of the destination, you would be wrong. If you love to shoot for the (Michelin) stars, the north has plenty to offer. In fact, one of Denmark’s three three-Michelin-starred restaurants can be found this area of the city: Jordnær, from husband-and-wife team Tina and Eric Vildgaard, is located in the town of Gentofte. Given its more tucked-away location, Jordnær has become something of a destination restaurant, to which people gladly trek to savor Eric’s bold, creative cuisine and Tina’s hospitality. The kitchen’s ingredient-first ethos means only the finest (from the dainty edible flowers to the enormous chunks of langoustines) ends up on your plate. Say yes to all the caviar: It’s one of Eric’s favorites and regularly shows up on a number of dishes throughout the tasting menu.
Head a bit further north to the leafy, charming town of Holte, which is only a 10-minute drive west of Skodsborg Spa Hotel, and you’ll find another Michelin-starred gem. Inside a historic 17th-century inn adjacent to a lush park, Søllerød Kro is as opulent as any fine-dining experience in central Copenhagen, but it’s an especially lovely choice for a languorous multi-course lunch. Brian Mark Hansen’s French-inspired menu features the best of the season, from snappy white asparagus to plump oysters and juicy quail. But consider yourself especially lucky if your meal includes the tenderloin draped with a delicate sheet of beetroot and then ladled with a special caviar sauce. Yes, it’s as luxurious as it sounds, and is best enjoyed with a glass of Champagne.
