Best for nostalgics

NIMB

Bright, brash and irresistibly different, one of the city’s most iconic properties has kept visitors spellbound for more than a century. A Moorish-style palace illuminated by thousands of bulbs, Nimb blends perfectly into the fantasy fairground of Tivoli Gardens. Originally opened as a restaurant in 1909, it’s always been a family business and the focus on fine food remains strong. Thirtyeight suites are divided between the original building and a modern wing; older rooms have fireplaces, bathtubs and quirky artefacts, while later additions benefit from a vast terrace. Indulge in afternoon teas served beneath glittering chandeliers, or spring forward several decades in the high-tech wellness centre, kitted out with a wavesimulator in the pool and a hypoxic chamber for cross-fit training sessions. ROOMS: DKK 2,902 (£332). nimb.dk
