Wall to wall carpets
Inspired by the bold colour universe of the Thorvaldsens Museum, Hotel Danmark features long corridors with velvet-like walls, largescale mosaic carpet and eye-catching ceilings in dramatic hues. A blast from the past, the hotel is renovated on the principles of being true to the old building, ambitious in choice of materials and daring in colour selection.
Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770-1844) represents the neoclassical period in most of his works with motifs from Greek mythology and portraits of religious and other important personalities. The decoration of the Thorvaldsens Museum, and thereby Hotel Danmark, reflects the geographical locations that influenced Thorvaldsen’s life. Grey and brown tones from weather-beaten driftwood and lave stone found on the shores of Iceland filled into understated mosaic patterns of the coarse knitted sweater. Entering the hotel rooms, a quite different experience awaits: Leather, marble, steel, fine textiles and loop pile carpet beautifully blend in interior settings with a strong and uncompromising Scandinavian design signature.
