Copenhagen's DREAM Apartment: Luxury Living in the Heart of the City!
Copenhagen's DREAM Apartment: More Than Just a Hotel, It's a Fantasy. (With a Few Hiccups, Naturally.)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the beans, the akvavit, and maybe a little bit of my own personal travel anxiety on Copenhagen's DREAM Apartment. Forget your sterile, corporate hotel reviews. We're going real here. This place… well, it’s a dream, alright. But like all dreams, it's got its quirks.
First off, the name. "DREAM Apartment." Bold. Makes you expect… a lot. And let me tell you, the initial impact is stunning. The lobby? Pure Scandi chic. Think minimalist design that doesn't feel cold, thanks to the warm wood accents and, I swear, the sunlight streaming in just knows how to hit the right angles. (I’m probably being dramatic, but still.) And this is where the first little hiccup popped up. Finding the actual check-in desk… that was a mini-adventure. It's tucked away, almost too discreetly. I actually wandered around for a solid five minutes, looking like a lost tourist penguin. (The doorman saw me, bless his heart, and pointed me the right way, but the initial panic was real.)
But once I found the desk (thank you, friendly doorman!), the check-in was smooth as butter. Contactless check-in/out – a godsend in these… interesting times. And honestly, the staff, from the concierge to the housekeeping folks, are uniformly lovely. Smiling faces, genuine helpfulness. They actually seem to enjoy their jobs, which is a rarity these days. Major points for that!
Accessibility and Safety: Thinking of Everyone (Mostly).
Okay, let’s talk practicalities. Accessibility is a big one for me. I'm not in a wheelchair (thank goodness!), but I do appreciate a place that considers everyone. And DREAM Apartment seems to have put some thought into it. The elevator is a must-have, obviously. And I saw some facilities marked for disabled guests, though I didn’t personally test them. That said, the building design is inherently modern – which usually means fewer of those clunky obstacles you encounter in older European hotels.
Cleanliness and safety? They nail it. The place gleams. Seriously. And the measures they take… I felt like I was entering a sterile lab. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, hand sanitizers everywhere. They've got staff trained in safety protocols. Even the room sanitization opt-out available, which is a nice touch for those who are less… germophobic than I am. (I’m joking!… mostly). And hey, they even have sterilizing equipment. You can practically smell the cleanliness. Plus, CCTV in common areas and outside the property make you feel secure, even when you are in the middle of the night after drinking too many beers.
The Room: My Little Luxury Fortress
My room? Swoon. Let’s just say the "apartment" part is accurate. It's not just a room; it’s a space. And a well-designed space, at that. Air conditioning (essential in the summer), a ridiculously comfortable extra long bed, and blackout curtains that banished the world outside, which is so useful when the sun never sets in the Danish summer, as far as I know.
And the bathroom? Oh, the bathroom. A separate shower/bathtub situation, fluffy bathrobes, and a hair dryer that actually works (a small miracle). They also offer a scale– which is a bit of a rude awakening after you have been eating too much. This is where I experienced one of my big wins. The free Wi-Fi in all rooms! was a necessity I needed and I was happy to have, and the Internet access – wireless meant I could work from the comfort of my sofa.
The Food, Glorious Food (and a Few Gripes)
Okay, food time. This is where things get… interesting. Breakfast [buffet] is the classic choice, and it's… decent. Solid, but not mind-blowing. They have the staples: pastries, eggs, bacon (of course!), cereals. The Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant are available and are a nice touch. The coffee shop is a lifesaver for an caffeine addict like myself. But the real star of the show is the room service [24-hour]. Seriously, after a long day of exploring, a burger and a glass of wine delivered to your room? Pure bliss. The a la carte in restaurant, has some delicious choices. I really can't fault their food offerings.
Now, the restaurants, and bars. Are they perfect? No. Do they have a desserts in restaurant? Yeah. Do people that you could eat with, if you are not antisocial like me? I am pretty sure. I went to the poolside bar and took a few drinks, and the people I got to know were enjoyable.
One tiny, admittedly picky, complaint? The bottle of water provided in the room was not complimentary. Seriously? It’s a small thing, but in a luxury hotel, it feels a little… stingy.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax (And Why the Spa is Worth the Splurge)
This is where DREAM Apartment truly shines. They have seriously thought about the “relax” aspect of the equation. And the way to relax? Let me tell you. The fitness center is well-equipped. They have a pool with view, and the Sauna is nice if you are into that. But the real treat? The Spa. I treated myself to a massage, and it was… divine. Worth every single krone. If you are feeling stressed, I really recommend it. They also offer body scrub, body wrap, foot bath, spa, spa/sauna, steamroom, swimming pool.
The Extras: The Little Things That Make a Difference
They have concierge, daily housekeeping, a doorman (essential for feeling like a VIP), laundry service, luggage storage, and even baby sitting service. These are the things that elevate a hotel from "good" to "great." They have a convenience store if you need something, but you probably won't.
Getting Around:
Forget the car. Just, seriously, don't bother. Airport transfer? Yes, please. Copenhagen is all about walking, cycling, and public transport. The hotel is centrally located, so you're steps away from everything.
The Bottom Line:
Okay, let's get real. DREAM Apartment isn’t perfect. No place is. But it's damn close. It's got a few minor hiccups, sure, but the overall experience? Exquisite. The location is unbeatable, the rooms are gorgeous, the spa is a must, and the staff are wonderful.
So, my verdict? Go. Book it. Embrace the dream. But be warned: you might never want to leave.

Escape to Paradise: Hotel Palumbo, Bari's Hidden Gem
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your average, perfectly polished travel itinerary. This is… my Copenhagen adventure. And, trust me, it's gonna be a rollercoaster. Let's get messy!
Copenhagen Chaos: A Whirlwind of Hygge, Herring, and Headaches (Probably)
Accommodation: Beautiful Luxury Apt · Heart of Copenhagen. (Spoiler alert: I'm hoping it lives up to the beautiful luxury bit. My bank account is bracing for the worst, but my Instagram feed is already planning the shots.)
Day 1: Arrival, Anxiety, and Aquavit (Maybe)
- Morning (Before 9 AM): Flight from… well, let's just say somewhere, delayed by a grumpy baggage handler and my own catastrophic packing skills. Seriously, how does one manage to forget BOTH socks and a toothbrush? (Don't judge. Travel is hard.)
- Morning (9 AM - Noon): FINALLY land in Copenhagen! Airport chaos. Navigating the metro with luggage that weighs more than I do. Praying I haven't accidentally booked a coffin instead of an apartment. Check-in process. Fingers crossed for a decent view and no creepy crawlies.
- Lunch (Noon - 1 PM): Okay, okay, focus. Gotta eat. Research leads me to Torvehallerne Market – a food lover's paradise, or so they claim. Aim: Smørrebrød. Expectation: Perfection. Realistically: Probably a slightly soggy sandwich I'll devour in record time.
- Afternoon (1 PM - 4 PM): Apartment successfully located! (Whew!) Unpacking. Attempting to arrange my clothes like I have any control over my life. Admiring the "beautiful luxury" (fingers crossed again). Then, the obligatory "walk around the neighborhood" to get the lay of the land. Find myself immediately captivated by the colourful buildings and the sheer chicness of everyone. Seriously, are Danes born with built-in fashion sense? I feel like a clumsy tourist in my questionable leggings.
- Late Afternoon/Evening (4 PM onwards): Canal tour! This is where the real hygge begins… or so I'm told. Hoping for sunshine, charming commentary, and a blissful escape from my own inner monologue. A sudden, crippling fear that the boat will sink. Followed by a ravenous craving for herring. Seriously considering that Aquavit. Maybe two. Let's just do it!
- The "Accidental" Aquavit Story: Okay, the canal tour WAS lovely, until a particularly boisterous group of tourists started swigging Aquavit like it was water. Curiosity (and a healthy dose of peer pressure) got the better of me. One shot turned into two, then a hazy blur of laughter and bad decisions. Suddenly, I was convinced I could speak fluent Danish and was attempting to sing a karaoke version of a ABBA song to a group of bemused locals. Let's just say, the memories are… patchy. Lesson learned: Aquavit is NOT your friend on an empty stomach. Or maybe it IS, who am I to tell?
- Dinner: Find a restaurant. Any restaurant. Hoping they forgive my questionable karaoke skills. Praying for a hearty meal that will soak up the remnants of the Aquavit. And, maybe, just maybe, a decent night's sleep.
Day 2: Cycling, Castles, and Coffee (Plus Potential Meltdowns)
- Morning (Up before 9am): Wake up feeling like I got hit by a canal boat (pun intended, unfortunately). Grateful for the coffee machine in the apartment. Vow to drink a gallon. Attempt to remember what happened last night. (Still hazy). Resolve to learn how to ride a bike. In Copenhagen. Wish me luck.
- Morning (9 AM - Noon): Bike rental. (See above). Copenhagen is the cycling city. I, however, am a klutz. Expectation: Graceful gliding through cobbled streets. Reality: Multiple near-death experiences and the distinct possibility of taking out a local.
- The Bike-Riding Disaster: So, the biking… It started off okay. I managed to get the bike moving without immediate disaster. Then, the wind, I swear it was a personal vendetta. Suddenly I was being blown towards a cafe, panicked and swerving, I clipped a stylish gentleman's bike, knocking his beret off. Absolute mortification. I mumbled an apology, a blush from my toes to my hair. The man just burst out laughing! He even helped me up and insisted I should try again. Talk about a gracious Dane!
- Lunch (Noon - 1 PM): Reward myself after a bike ride that didn’t end in a hospital visit with some delicious lunch at a cosy cafe. Embrace the hygge feeling.
- Afternoon (1 PM - 4 PM): Rosenborg Castle! Hoping to feel like royalty. Admire the Crown Jewels (but definitely won't try to steal them, despite the tempting gleam). Prepare for a possible existential crisis as I reflect on the fleeting nature of life and the absurdity of monarchy.
- Late Afternoon/Evening (4 PM onwards): Nyhavn exploration. The iconic colourful buildings! Instagram gold! Attempt to not be that tourist who gets in everyone's way. Seriously considering a second canal tour, just to erase the Aquavit incident.
- Nyhavn Nights and Existential Dread: Nyhavn is gorgeous, no doubt. But, the sheer number of people is overwhelming. I'm pretty sure I saw at least five proposals, three crying babies, and a dog wearing a tiny sailor's hat. It's beautiful, it's chaotic, and it's making me think way too much about my own life (or lack thereof). Am I happy? Am I fulfilling my potential? Should I move to Copenhagen and become a professional herring taster? The questions keep swirling.
- Dinner: Fish! Hopefully, cooked in some way that is not the herring.
Day 3: Freedom, Freetown, and Farewell (Sob)
- Morning (Up before 9am): Pack. I'm usually terrible at it. But I'm going to give it a good try! Buy more Smorrebrod. One last coffee. Prepare for the inevitable post-vacation blues. The despair is starting.
- Morning (9 AM - Noon): Christiania. The legendary freetown. Prepare to be amazed, confused, and maybe a little bit intimidated. Trying to be open-minded. Definitely avoiding all questionable substances. Just hoping to absorb the unique atmosphere.
- The Christiania Conundrum: Christiania is… well, it's an experience. Imagine a vibrant, slightly gritty, alternative world. The "Green Light District" was definitely an experience, to say the least. Respectful observation is key. It feels a little lawless, a little bit magical. It's a reminder that there are different ways to live, and the world is a lot more complex than I give it credit for.
- Lunch: Eat somewhere in Christiania. Hopefully, it's not a dodgy burger.
- Afternoon (1 PM - 4 PM): Last-minute souvenir shopping. Trying not to buy anything that screams "tourist trap". Searching for the perfect, utterly useless, yet charming, Danish item to bring home.
- Late Afternoon/Evening (4 PM onwards): Sadly begins the journey back to the airport. The last goodbye. The last glance at the stunning architecture. The last gasp of Copenhagen air. Reflect on the trip. What did I learn? Probably how to ride a bike, sort of, and that Aquavit is a treacherous foe.
- Dinner: Airport food. Enough said.
- Evening: Departure. Heart full of memories, and a suitcase full of… well, let's just say "stuff."
Beyond the Schedule: The Unpredictable Delights
- The Random Stuff: I'm budgeting for the unexpected. Maybe I'll stumble upon a secret jazz club. Perhaps I'll strike up a conversation with a ridiculously handsome Dane. Or maybe I'll just get hopelessly lost and end up eating a hotdog for dinner every night. Who knows? That's part of the fun!
- The Emotional Rollercoaster: Expect to feel EVERYTHING. Pure joy, utter frustration, existential angst, and profound gratitude. This trip is not just about seeing the sights, it's about experiencing life. Messily, honestly, and with a whole lot of love.
Final Thought: Copenhagen, I'm coming for you. Prepare to be conquered… or at least mildly amused.
Escape to Paradise: Hotel Binelli, Your Dream Pinzolo Getaway
Copenhagen's DREAM Apartment: The Messy Truth (and Why You Might Love It Anyway)
Okay, so what *actually* is the deal with this "Dream" apartment? Is it all just Instagram fluff?
Alright, let's be real. The marketing photos? They're gorgeous. Gleaming floors, artfully draped throws, light pouring in like a Renaissance painting. BUT (and it's a big but, folks) it's not *quite* that perfect in person. I mean, yeah, the views are stunning. Seriously, the *views*... I spent a whole afternoon just staring out the window the first time I visited. You could practically see Sweden! But then you notice the tiny, almost comical, crack in the marble countertop in the kitchen. And the slightly wonky drawer in the bathroom that you have to jiggle just right to close. It’s…charming, in a slightly stressed-out, "I'm trying my best" sort of way. Think less 'luxury yacht' and more 'stylish, slightly eccentric aunt's flat'.
Is the location really as central as they claim? I don't want to spend my vacation on public transport.
Central? Oh, it's *ridiculously* central. Like, you could stumble out of the apartment after a few too many *øl* and practically fall into the Strøget shopping street. Okay, maybe I exaggerate *slightly*. But seriously, everything is walkable. Nyhavn, the canals, even Tivoli Gardens – easy peasy. One time, I was desperate for some *kanel snegle* (cinnamon rolls, because, Copenhagen) and I just…walked. Five minutes. Bliss. That said… if you're expecting *peaceful* central, think again. You're smack-dab in the middle of the action. Expect a little street noise, especially on weekend nights. And, I’ll be honest, that cute little cobblestone street? My ankles had a *lot* of opinions about it after a day of exploring.
The apartment looks expensive. Can a regular person afford this?
Let's just say it's not precisely budget travel. Yeah, it’s an investment. I’m not gonna lie, I winced a little when I saw the price. BUT (another big but!) consider what you're getting: prime location, beautiful design (flaws and all!), and a truly unforgettable experience. If you're splitting the cost with friends or family, it becomes much more manageable. And, look, maybe this is the moment you finally cash in those frequent flyer miles you've been hoarding. Plus, think of the bragging rights! "Oh, this old thing? Just my place in Copenhagen..." You get the idea. Fine, I'll admit it; I'd probably remortgage to stay there again. Just don't tell my bank.
What about the amenities? Is there a washing machine? Good Wi-Fi? Is it like, actually liveable?
Okay, this is where it gets good. Yes, yes, and YES. The Wi-Fi is lightning-fast (important!). The washing machine? Saved my life! (I tend to pack light, and Copenhagen’s weather can be…variable.) The kitchen is surprisingly well-equipped. I cooked a whole meal there! Though, I might have accidentally melted a spoon on the induction cooktop...whoops! There is a coffee machine. Blessedly. I needed that coffee. And the bathroom? Okay, fine, the slightly wonky drawer aside, the rainfall shower is divine. Trust me. That shower is worth the price of admission alone after a long day of sightseeing. Speaking of which… I once locked myself out. Seriously. Mortifying. But the customer service was A+. They got me back in within the hour. Crisis averted. And learn from me, memorize the code!
Is it family-friendly? This sounds like exactly what I need for my trip with the kids.
Hmm, family-friendly… That depends on your family, honestly. The space itself is lovely, and could make for a memorable experience for the kids. But think about the location. The apartment is on the livelier side of things with some foot traffic. And, let's be real, the high-end furniture might make you neurotic if you have particularly rambunctious little ones. (My own child? Not a good fit). I'd say it's better suited for families with older, more responsible children. Plus, those stairs! Steep, beautiful, but can be tricky with little legs. That said? The location is perfect for getting around to see the sites, but double check that it is a good fit for your crew.
What's the *worst* part about staying there? Be brutally honest.
Okay, the *worst* part? This is easy. Leaving. Honestly, saying goodbye to that view, that shower, the whole damn apartment… it's heartbreaking. I'd be lying if I said I didn't shed a tear *or two*. It's the sort of place that gets under your skin. You start to feel like you *belong* there. (Though, the very first time I saw it? I got a little *lost* on the way up the stairs. Not ideal with luggage. Those stairs are no joke! And the key? Needs a *lot* of jiggling.) Be prepared for serious post-vacation blues. That, and the fact that you’ll probably start pricing apartments back home, convinced you can replicate the vibe. (You probably can't. Sorry.) So basically, the worst part is the cost of the thing; but also, the fact that you will probably want to live there. Forever.
You've mentioned the view a few times... Sell me on the view! Is it *that* good?
Okay, fine. Let me try to put this into words. The view. It's... well, it's the kind of view that makes you forget to breathe. You know how sometimes you see a postcard and think, "Yeah, that's pretty, but it's probably not *that* amazing in real life"? This is the opposite. It's Copenhagen laid out before you; Red brick rooftops, the canal shimmering in the sun, the spires of churches reaching for the sky. And in December? The Christmas lights reflected in the water... Honestly? It's the kind of view that makes you question all your life choices, in the best possible way. I had a glass of wine (or two) whilst sitting on the windowsill looking at it and it turned into an existential crisis and then made me super hungry because of it. You've been warned. Just… go see it. Take the plunge. And maybe, just maybe, you'll understand why I’m considering skipping rent this month to go back.
Would you recommend it? Be honest!
Yes. Absolutely. Unequivocally. Yes. Even with the slightly wonky drawers, the slightly stressful cost, and the potential for a heartbreaking departure, I recommend it. It's an experience. It’s a memory. It's a sliceBest Hotels Blog
