Manon les Suites

Located next to Ørstedsparken in central Copenhagen, Manon les Suites is part of the Guldsmeden group, with boho-chic hotels stretching from Reykjavik to Bali and Menton. And checking in last night, I truly felt worlds away from the traffic on nearby H.C. Andersens Boulevard.

Staying in room 213 next to the highly instagrammable “junglefish” pool, I ordered their signature “Tea time in Bali” cocktail with cachaça and lemon while Anna opted for the “Citrus Dream” mocktail. Sipping away on our drinks between lapses in the pool, it almost felt like we were back in Ubud, minus the jetlag.

Making the most of our mini-weekend escape, we kicked off the morning with a city jog to The Union Kitchen, where the perennial Scandinavian language confusion turned “salmon” into “ham”. Even if I typically prefer Eggs Royale to Eggs Benedict, it was still perfect and such a true escapist treat before taking the train back home across the bridge.
