Why stay in a small hotel room when you can have a spacious, serviced apartment or loft for the same price? Stay is a brand new hotel concept located on the Island Brygge, a fast developing residential area, just a five minutes drive from the centre of Copenhagen. And one a stone’s throw from the buzzy meat packing district. Stay offers a total of 193 apartments with 15 different layouts, ranging from a one bedroom 90 m2 to an Atelier XL of almost 150 m2. The design is Scandinavian minimalism with furniture from quality Danish brands. Although all the rooms have a kitchen, guests are served free breakfast downstairs or can meet in the evening in the lounge upstairs while having a glass of wine with amazing views over Copenhagen. Stay is located in the old A House building that was once a hub for Copenhagen’s creative elite. While Walls, the Danish real estate developer behind the project, was waiting for a building permit, they lent out the building during two years to local artists, designers, musicians and other creative souls who turned the A House quickly into an alternative landmark of Copenhagen. You can still find traces of this creative past in some of the apartments in the form of writing on the concrete walls or small splashes of colour in the black & white interiors.
Room prices start at approximately 120 euro for an apartment, breakfast for two included. www.staycopenhagen.dk
