It would be nice to say that on our visit to Copenhagen we got a chance to stay at the famous Room 606 but unfortunately our budget was far removed from such luxuries. We did however manage to convince the receptionist in the lobby to let us upstairs to take a sneak peak at the hotel room that apparently deserves having a whole book dedicated to it.
The room remains almost exactly as Arne Jacobson designed it in 1960 and contains his wonderfully iconic teal furniture and some really amazing wooden paneling. It's sad to hear that the remaining majority of the hotel has been replaced by corporate standard fabrics and furniture but there are still touches of Jacobson's original design to be found around the place. This includes the wonderful lobby space (that houses his famous Swan and Egg chairs) and part of the restaurant on the top floor that not only offers stunning views over the city but also allows you to eat with Jacobson's stainless-steel cutlery that he decided specifically for the hotel.
