This hotel has one of the most beautiful swimming pools and an amazing ambiance that transports you thousands of kilometers from this European capital.
It is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful hotel swimming pools in the world. Not necessarily by its dimensions, far from the Olympic standard of 50 meters, nor by its view of the sea or its terrace but by the atmosphere it gives off. The swimming pool of this hotel sets the tone for an exotic journey where, as soon as you step through the door, you embark on the charms of Bali, one of the most popular destinations on the planet.
But this time, there’s no question of crossing the globe and enduring long hours on a plane! If the hotel chain also has an establishment in Bali, this tropical oasis is nestled in the heart of one of the most attractive cities in Europe. It is therefore only two hours from Paris by plane. Enough to dream of a Balinese experience during a simple weekend or a city break in spring.
Yes, this place exists: welcome to the Manon Les Suites Hotel in Copenhagen. Behind the visibly French name (without being able to find the reason), lies a completely different type of fusion. Since you are in the homeland of hygge, this Scandinavian art of living which advocates a warm art of living, cozy and comforting moments, the hotel is a marvel of diversity where the charms of the Nordic atmosphere combine with calm and the lush vegetation of Bali. Water is of course at the center of the atmosphere advocated, hence the famous swimming pool, the “jungle pool” emblem of the establishment.
This five-star gem takes you in the blink of an eye from the cycle paths of Copenhagen and its bustling life to the calm of the tropical lagoon. The illusion is perfect: it feels like you’re in Bali, between the palm trees and the Balinese penjors, these traditional ornate poles, emblems of the Indonesian island.
The experience obviously doesn’t end there. Each of the hotel’s suites displays a design that subtly combines Nordic and Balinese influences. The decoration follows this principle with the use of wood, hanging plants and handcrafted lamps. The art of the table is not forgotten with a renowned restaurant, Chapung where the Balinese chef offers fusion cuisine with Asian influences.
The roof terrace is another world to discover. During the day, it offers a breathtaking view of the city, while in the evening, it transforms into a friendly space where you can sip a cocktail under the stars. Next door, the spa merges the serene Balinese ambiance with its spas and pools and the warmth of the Nordic baths (and saunas of course), providing another space for relaxation, both indoors and outdoors.
There remains the location, Manon les Suites is a stone’s throw from the famous Copenhagen lakes, including Peblinge Sô. It is also close to the historic district of Christinia, easily reachable by bike as is the famous Rundetarn, the observation tower which offers a unique view of the Danish capital. Once the busy day is over, the calm of the hotel will seduce the most weary explorers! Why also forget the price of this getaway? The success of the Manon Les Suites has its price: in addition to advance reservation being recommended, the price of the night can easily exceed 500 euros.
