Hotel recs in Stockholm and Copenhagen?

[piedbeauty]

As above - looking for nice hotels in the above, with views, so we can walk from there to explore.

Is it for grown ups or with children?

Adults and teens! Sorry, should have said.

We stayed at the Absalon hotel in Copenhagen last year. Great location near the train station, we had free breakfast and there was a nice bar in the hotel. Would recommend.

I've stayed at the Absalon- lovely bedrooms!! Very central

Having lived in Copenhagen my personal pics would be the scandic in Frederiksberg - lovely leafy area , good metro into centre , (8 minutes) nice bar lounge area and a big modern shopping centre next door, the Radisson is nice too in a slightly dated way but rooms have great views as it's a high rise hotel, 5 minutes walk to metro at islands Brygge, the Marriott on the waterfront very good, very modern architecture area and walkable into town , finally the lovely new NH in Christianshavn, very nice area, canals etc, on metro and some lovely bars and restaurants in the area, or a quick 15 minute walk through christianshavn to Nyhavn.

In Stockholm - you simply can't beat the Rival (owned by one of the Abba guys) we've stayed their 5 times, it's in a pretty square, 3 minutes to metro, 5 minutes on metro to centre of city - absolutely lovely vibe, staff and decor.

The Radisson in ostermalm is also very nice, posh upmarket shopping area but hotel faces waterfront

Ooh, funnily enough, just saw the Rival and thought it looked good! I'd really like a water view in Stockholm, though...

My daughter has been to the Absalon. It uses Designers Guild fabrics.She really liked it. We are staying at its sister hotel, the Anderson, in Sept. it’s in Vesterbro too and also near the station.
