During decades of travel I have stayed everywhere--from roadside inns to Four Seasons. This was easily the most magical place I have found. The location was extraordinary--steps from the gorgeous King's Garden and Rosenborg Castle, and just minutes away from great restaurants, charming breakfast cafés, and world-class shopping. Not to mention an easy grocery store on the same block. But it was the interior that made the magic. Nothing prepared me for the feeling of stepping into a piece of history, made even more special by the beautiful, eclectic pieces of hand-wrought iron that decorated every room. Crafted by the building's owner, a talented metal worker, sconces and chandeliers and vases and furniture added beauty to every room. The elegant, historic space is larger than the photos would suggest, with beautiful views both out onto the street and into the back courtyard (which doubles as the metal workshop). The kitchen is lovingly supplied, and the owners warm and constantly available. This was such a great pleasure and such a wonderful surprise. One of those places that I will remember for a long time, with gratitude.
