Copenhagen's Most Luxurious Penthouse: Unbelievable Shopping Street Views!
Copenhagen's Most Luxurious Penthouse: Prepare to Be Spoiled (Maybe a Little Bit Overwhelmed)
Alright, listen up, you jet-setting, champagne-sipping, hopefully well-heeled travelers. We're diving headfirst into the Copenhagen experience, hitting the peak with this penthouse overlooking the very swanky shopping streets. Let's get REAL about what this place offers, because frankly, it's a LOT. And I'm still sorting it all out… deep breath
Accessibility: Because Even Luxury Needs to be Inclusive (But Is It REALLY?)
Okay, let's start with the nitty-gritty. Accessibility. They claim to be good, and that's important. Elevator? Check. That's a BIG win because, let's be honest, lugging Louis Vuitton luggage up a winding staircase after a long flight sounds like a special kind of hell. Facilities for disabled guests are listed but I couldn't personally experience it, so I'm going with the official word on this one: they say it's accessible. I REALLY wish I could offer a more nuanced view here, but I didn't see anything that would be a major red flag. Just… verify.
On-Site Grub & Grog: From Michelin Stars to… A Coffee Shop?
Right. Where do we eat and drink? Okay, they go hard on this. We're talking restaurants aplenty, boasting international cuisine, Asian cuisine, and, of course, the classic Western cuisine. There's a bar, a poolside bar (more on that later!), and a coffee shop. The Happy Hour better be REALLY happy, because this level of luxury demands a good time. Breakfast [buffet] and breakfast service with things like Asian breakfast option, because who doesn't want a little spring roll with their eggs? If you're feeling lazy, room service [24-hour] is a real lifesaver, and let's not forget the bottle of water. Essential. A la carte in restaurant, alternative meal arrangement, and buffet in restaurant options. They even brag about desserts in restaurant! I hope they have a killer pastry chef.
Things to Do & Ways to Chill: Prepare to Get Pampered (and Maybe Over-Scheduled)
Deep sigh Where to even begin? Fitness center, gym/fitness – you can sweat out all those danishes. Then you can dive into the swimming pool, not just any pool, but a pool with a view – that's a non-negotiable for this kind of place. Sauna, Spa, spa/sauna, Steamroom – basically, you're going to be a pruned, glistening human by the end of your stay. They also boast about Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, and Massage. I'm starting to feel tired just thinking about it. They even have a Couple's room… wink wink.
My Personal Experience: The Spa…A Whirlwind of Euphoria and Mild Panic
Okay, so the spa. THIS. WAS. AN. EXPERIENCE. Picture this: I waltzed in, expecting Zen, expecting peace. Instead, I was bombarded with choices. Body scrub? Body wrap? Massage? My brain short-circuited. I went for the "Ultimate Relaxation Package" because, duh. The scrub was amazing, but the wrap made me claustrophobic (totally my fault, not the hotel's!). Then, the massage. Oh. My. God. It was so good, I think I briefly ascended to a higher plane of existence. But then, the masseuse asked if I wanted a foot bath. Did I deserve a foot bath? Maybe. Did I need a foot bath? Probably not. The sheer volume of pampering almost broke me. Seriously, pace yourself. Bring a friend to help you navigate it all.
Cleanliness & Safety: Germaphobes, Rejoice (But Don't Forget to Breathe)
Alright, let's talk about the elephant in the room (or, you know, the virus lurking in the air). They're REALLY leaning into the hygiene thing. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available (good on them!), Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment. Frankly, it makes me feel a little bit safer, but also slightly paranoid. It’s like living inside a hospital. I get it, but sometimes, I just wanna touch a thing!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (The Gastronomic Gauntlet)
So many options. I'm exhausted just listing them. There's the obligatory A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, and even Asian breakfast. The Bar better be stocked with my favorite gin, because a good cocktail is essential after a day of being pampered and disinfected. There’s a Breakfast [buffet], (I’m a sucker for a good buffet), and of course, a Coffee/tea in restaurant, because… Copenhagen. Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, and a Poolside bar are the essentials. The sheer choice is overwhelming. I'm still trying to figure out if the Snack bar is any good.
Services & Conveniences: Your Every Whim, Their Command?
This is where it gets truly ridiculous. Seriously, the list goes on for days. Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge (thank god!), Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping (like, obviously!), Doorman (also obvious), Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center. It’s a LOT. I’m just waiting for a butler to appear and feed me grapes.
For the Kids: Because Even Billionaires Have Tiny Tyrants
So, for the families out there: Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, and a Kids meal. No excuses for not bringing the little monsters!
Access: The Nuts and Bolts (Don't Get Locked Out!)
CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Check-in/out [express], Check-in/out [private] (because who wants to mingle with the commoners?), Exterior corridor, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Hotel chain (it's part of a big group, so you know what you're getting), Non-smoking rooms, Pets allowed unavailable (boo!), Proposal spot (because, why not?), Room decorations, Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms. Basically, Fort Knox with better views.
Getting Around: Cruising in Style (Or Just Cabs)
Okay, so, Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, and Valet parking. You're definitely covered, from the humble bike to the ludicrously expensive Bentley.
Available in All Rooms: The Comforts of… Well, Everything
Here’s the really long list of what’s in your room: Additional toilet, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], **Window that
Ho Chi Minh City's HOTTEST Hotel: Stellar Boutique Awaits!
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because this itinerary is gonna be a rollercoaster. Forget manicures, we're rolling up our sleeves for realness. We're talking Copenhagen, Luxury Penthouse, enough shopping to make Marie Kondo weep, and… well, let's see where this beautiful, chaotic mess takes us, shall we?
Day 1: Arrival & Instant Overwhelm (in the best way possible)
- 14:00 - 15:00: Arrival at CPH & Taxi Debacle! Oh, the glamour! Landed at Copenhagen Airport, feeling like a total jetsetter. Until, you know, the taxi. Turns out “knowing where to go” and “understanding Danish taxi drivers muttering rapidly in Danish” are two VERY different things. Spent a good ten minutes pointing and miming to get to the right address. Finally, success! Though I think the driver may have sworn at me under his breath. Ah, the magic of international travel!
- 15:00 - 16:00: Check-in & Jaw-Dropping Wow Let me tell you: "CPH's Finest Luxury Penthouse" is NOT exaggerating. Picture this: walls of glass, views of the city that could stop a raging Viking in his tracks, and a kitchen bigger than my entire apartment back home. Immediately felt my shoulders relax. (Side note: Did I actually need this much space? Probably not. But am I thrilled to have it? Absolutely. I'm already mentally planning a week-long pizza party). Dropped my bags, spent a solid half hour just… wandering around. The sheer audacity of it all!
- 16:00 - 17:30: The Quest for Coffee (and Sanity) Because jet lag is a beast. Wandered the streets, feeling a mix of pure bliss and, you know, that constant nagging fear you locked your front door. Found a darling little café tucked away, "The Coffee Collective." Let me just say… that coffee… it was a religious experience. Seriously, I could taste notes of heaven and tiny, happy angels. Bought a pastry too, which I immediately devoured. (Judge me, I dare you). Took a moment to inhale the city, the people, the quiet hum of everything. Copenhagen, you’ve got me.
- 17:30 - 19:00: Strøget Shopping (Round 1: The Panic Begins) Strøget, the famous shopping street. And, oh my GOD, it's a LOT. Started strong, admiring the sleek Scandinavian design, the pristine storefronts. Browsed some jewelry, thinking “Ooh, a little something for myself!” Then the sheer volume of options hit me like a ton of LEGO bricks. My brain short-circuited. Did I need that ridiculously expensive designer scarf? Probably not. Did I want it? Absolutely. Did I buy it? Well… maybe we'll get to that…
Day 2: Culture & Coffee (with a Side of Self-Doubt)
- 9:00 - 10:00: Rosenborg Castle & Royal Regalia. And the Line of People! Okay, first off, castle goals. Seriously, this place is fairytale. And the crown jewels! Jaw. Dropped. They're not playing around with the bling here. But let's be real: The lines… The lines were a nightmare. Stood for ages, jostling with selfie-stick wielding tourists, wondering if I’d actually seen the jewels or just a blurry flash of gold. (Note to Self: Next time, book tickets in advance. Or maybe just bribe someone? Options.)
- 10:00 - 11:30: Coffee & Canal Cruise (again with the Coffee!) Coffee. It’s a theme, people. Found a small cafe and sat outside, nursing my caffeine addiction and people-watching. Then, a canal tour! So picturesque, I almost didn’t throw up from motion sickness! Saw the Little Mermaid (she’s smaller than you think, and surprisingly chill). The tour itself was kinda pleasant, despite my inner cynic.
- 11:30 - 13:30: Shopping (Round 2: The Breakdown) Strøget, take two. This time, I had a PLAN! (Ha! Said the delusional traveler.) Decided I needed a new coat. Spent two hours trying on coats. Looked at myself in the mirror, feeling increasingly… frumpy. Every coat looked like it was wearing ME. Panic set in. This is where I found out how easily I'm swayed; I walked away feeling like I’d been defeated by retail.
- 13:30 - 14:30: Lunch & Existential Crisis. Found a cute little bistro. Ordered a salad. Ate half of it and stared out the window. Started to question my life choices, my wardrobe, and whether or not I should just move to a cozy cottage in the countryside and raise chickens. (The answer, of course, is still a resounding maybe.)
- 14:30-17:00: Shopping Again ( Round 3: The Triumph - Kind of) Decided to go back to the same store and retry on the coat. Was finally able to make a choice! Triumph!
- 17:00 onwards: The Penthouse & The Netflix. Right. Back to the penthouse. Ordered delivery, and decided to skip out on any further human interaction. Found a movie on Netflix. Bliss. This trip isn't about the fancy stuff, it's about finding myself.
Day 3: Food Adventures & Fickle Friend
- 10:00-11:00: Breakfast & The Awful Friend. Okay, it's my favorite part of the trip, the breakfast. This morning, I felt like a Queen. Eating breakfast in the penthouse, I felt like I can do anything, and I feel like I've come so far. Then, that awful friend of mine called me to tell me she couldn't join my trip. Tears from nowhere. The trip is not the same.
- 11:00-13:00: Food Tour (Finally, the delicious!) Okay, so instead of shopping or doing anything, I signed up for a food tour. So glad! Ate a crazy amount of deliciousness! I tasted everything! Especially the fish! I wasn't able to get my friend here, but she'll be thankful I had the best experience!
- 13:00-15:00: Coffee (again!)- The Best coffee. I had the best coffee! So thankful to this cafe for having the best. I was feeling better, after the food tour.
- 15:00-18:00: Back to the Penthouse. I started to get the whole point of this vacation. Relax. Have fun. Enjoy life. Do what I want. And that is what I am doing!
- 18:00-onwards: Dinner & Another Netflix Binge. I'm starting to love this lifestyle.
Day 4: Departure
- 9:00: The Goodbyes My mind is clear for the final day. After some tears from yesterday, I feel better. Today will be a short day, but I want to make the best of it!
- 10:00-12:00: More food! I had more of the food from the tour! I'm so thankful for the experience. I want to remember it forever!
- 12:00-13:00: The Departure I was able to be driven to the airport. This airport is so beautiful!
- 13:00: The Trip. This was the best trip ever! I can finally say I love myself.
- 13:00-18:00: On my way home On my way home in peace.
Final Thoughts:
Copenhagen, you beautiful, confusing, expensive city. I've loved you, loathed you, and nearly bankrupt myself in your name. But I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a scarf collection to organize and a serious chicken-raising fantasy to entertain.

Copenhagen's Most Luxurious Penthouse: Unbelievable Shopping Street Views! - FAQs, with Feeling
Okay, so you're thinking about this Copenhagen penthouse, huh? The one with the "unbelievable shopping street views"? Yeah, I've been *there*. Or, well, I've *dreamed* I was there. Let's get to the (maybe slightly manic) FAQs, shall we?
1. What kind of views are we *really* talking about? Is it actually “unbelievable”?
Alright, full disclosure: "unbelievable" is a word I've learned to approach with caution, like "gourmet" or "artisanal." But, *damn*, from photos and (ahem) slightly obsessive online research, the views from this place... well, let's just say they're the kind that make you want to spontaneously burst into an operatic aria. Imagine sitting there, a glass of chilled whatever-the-Danes-drink, watching the human parade on Strøget, the main shopping street. People scurrying, bikes whizzing, the scent of freshly baked *wienerbrød* wafting up... it's *almost* too much. Almost.
Okay, I'm getting a little carried away. But yes, it's likely "believable" in the sense that you actually *can* see a stunning panorama of the city and the hustle and bustle below, which is more than you can usually get from a hotel room in the city center. I'm *guessing* the views on a crisp, sunny day would be... well, you get the idea. Imagine. *Sigh*.
2. How much does this bad boy, let's be real, *cost*?
Right, the elephant in the room, the financial black hole, the reason I'll probably be drooling over photos for the foreseeable future: the price. I've seen numbers. Numbers that would make my bank account weep openly. Numbers involving commas I don't even *recognize*. Let's just say, if you have to ask, you probably can't afford it. Which is fine! We can dream, right? We can *pretend* we're millionaires, swanning around, sipping cocktails while watching the world below. It's a coping mechanism, okay?
Seriously though, expect "start a small business for your children's education" level expensive. Probably more.
3. What's the interior design like? Is it all minimalist Scandi chic or something... *else*?
This is where my detective work gets *really* intense. Based on the few glimpses I've found online (and the faint whispers from travel blogs), I'm *guessing* it's going to be high-end, of course. Think clean lines, probably a lot of blonde wood (it *is* Scandinavia, after all!), possibly some statement furniture... I'm secretly hoping for a splash of unexpected color. Maybe a vibrant rug? A quirky piece of art? I'm *so* over the "all-white-everything" look. Give me a little personality, people! Give me something to, you know, *relate* to! (Not that I'll ever get to *be* in this penthouse, but still...)
I imagine a well-stocked bar, a cozy fireplace (essential for those long, dark Danish winters!), and *probably* a state-of-the-art kitchen, because, honestly, who has time to cook when you can have a private chef whip up Michelin-star worthy meals? Me, I guess. I have time to cook!
4. Location, location, location... How accessible is it to the rest of Copenhagen? Is it a nightmare for getting around?
Okay, this is actually a *really* good question. Being right on Strøget, you're pretty much in the heart of everything. You're steps away from shops (duh!), restaurants, bars, and all the major attractions. The Metro is likely super close, which is fantastic. Copenhagen's a very bike-friendly city too, so you could conceivably be cycling around (if you're even a *little* coordinated... I’d probably fall over).
The *potential* downside, if there is one, is the noise. Sure, the views are fantastic, but city living can be loud. I’m picturing late-night revelers, the constant rumble of traffic (especially if it’s on a pedestrian street), and the general cacophony of city life. Though, let's be honest, if you're staying *that* fancy, you likely have soundproof windows and maybe even your own personal chauffeur (butler? I’m not entirely sure which comes *first*!).
5. Are there any *hidden* downsides? (Besides the price, obviously.)
Okay, let's get *real* for a second. Even in the most luxurious of situations, there are always... *things*.
First, the maintenance. Think about all that glass! Someone has to clean those windows. And the furniture? It's probably delicate, pricey, requiring careful treatment. You can't just plop down on a designer sofa after a long day of, I don't know, shopping on Strøget (again?). You'd have to *think* about sitting down. Who wants to think?!
Second, the pressure. Imagine living in a space like that! You'd probably feel the constant need to 'host' and entertain, show off your fabulous apartment (if the 'owning' of the place is any indication). It could become exhausting.
And finally, the loneliness. Sounds weird, right? But sometimes, when you're surrounded by such extravagance, you might find yourself craving the simple, unpretentious things. Like, I don't know, a good cup of coffee and a friend who doesn’t drive a Bentley. You know? (Okay, I'm probably just projecting my own longings.)
6. Okay, let's say I *could* afford it. What would be my first, absolutely MUST DO thing?
This is my favourite question. Oh, I've thought about this. Hours. Days. Let's keep the thought experiment alive, shall we? Okay, if by some miracle I could afford the penthouse, the absolute *first* thing? I would *not* immediately head downstairs and hit the shops. No. Instead, I'd grab a bottle of champagne. A good one. Vintage, maybe. And I would go out on the balcony (or whatever outdoor space it has) and just... *breathe*. Take it all in. The view, the air, the sheer absurdity of it all. Then, maybe, just maybe, I'd pop into the kitchen and make a decent sandwich. Mountain Stay
