“The Imperial's Danish retro design hooked me-it's a refreshing take on Copenhagen cool. That it sits next to Denmark's largest cinema adds a certain cultural buzz, and the in-house Italian restaurant seals the deal. For a 4-star stay that feels both modern and rooted in its city, it definitely delivers.”
