One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in AFAR.
Inside, the common spaces, including a trio of hipster-friendly bars and restaurants, are arranged in a village-like layout.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Rental bikes cross the quay directly toward Nyhavn, with the Royal Opera House visible on the neighboring quayside.
The rooms
Hardwood floors and porthole mirrors set a beach-cabin tone, and select rooms open onto private garden terraces.
Restaurant
Tiger Lily
Origami cranes hang above communal tables and a central sage-green bar, where the open kitchen serves pan-Asian dishes.
At the table
Upstairs, Victory Public House pours draft Guinness and cocktails beneath angled windows looking out over the harbor.
How it began
Christiansholm was closed to the public for centuries as a naval base and paper warehouse before its waterfront revival.
