apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

wow. that top room is gorgeous. i wonder if it would be overwhelming to sleep in though?

d*s

My Mom recently stayed in the Hotel Fox. She thought it was pretty cool - but found out the hard way (by bringing it up at a social function and immediately sensing the faux pas) that Danes definitely do NOT think it is cool at all. Those snooty Danes. I like it. I also drive a VW though, so maybe that helps me get over the blatant billboard that it is :-)

i like the first one... and oddly the last one. I think I can sleep easiest in that one. I am stealing that curtain treatment even though it's a bit mickey mouse's conductor hat from fantasia...
Any ideas as to what that thing is inbetween the beds on the floor of the first image?

They're all quirky and different and the beauty of a hotel room is that it's just a TEMPORARY get-away, so you really don't have that much time to get tired of whatever they've done to the room.

I recently stayed at the Hotel Fox in Copenhagen (August) and I have to say that it is a bit disappointing (I had seen the photos and similar promotion as on this post). This is the classic high-design, high-concept place that does not stand the test of time and looks very worn even just a few years after the conversion. Going with that much white all over shows and the rugs in the room were ratty. It also felt like a lot of the materials were done on the cheap and were form over function (read: not confortable at all).

It is also very expensive (although everything in Scandinavia is ridiculous) and the rooms are TINY. Not recommended.

The colors are stunning! You'd have to stay pretty pared down for this kind of design to work in a small apartment. Would be tough for a packrat like me...

i love hotel design (especially of the super-sleek variety) but could never live that way. i have to say i don't really understand the many AT regulars who count hotel design as a major influence in their home's aesthetic. not to say i disagree or think it's wrong, i just really don't get it.

on the other hand, the folks i really do have a problem with are those who travel and complain of small hotel rooms. especially when traveling to major cities and parts of the world where bigger is not necessarily better. my family does it every time they come to new york. what the hell do you need a big hotel room for? you're supposed to be out enjoying this world class city, not sitting inside watching TV.

Looks like good fun. Unless those beds are surprisingly twin sized, I doubt they're *that* small. Of course I don't expect hotel rooms to be large either.

That all-red room is amazing - the white one with the chandelier is strikingly similar to the hotel room we stayed in on our honeymoon in Venice

I am danish and come from Copenhagen... Ahm, yes, We love it, we think it is super cool!!

LILS - the thing between the beds looks like a super low coffee table

The top pic would make a great kids room.

The rest of the pictures are beautiful, but that top pic... I think I'd wake up in the middle of the night and get spooked. Come on! Big creepy tree glaring at me? Ok... feeling wimpish...
