Radisson Collection Royal Hotel

Rides and gardens dating from 1843, a Chinese-style theater whose peacock-tail curtain folds down when the show starts, and a marching band of kids in bearskin hats.

Family rooms of up to 55 square meters, a minute from Vesterport Station and right next to Tivoli.

Stalls for pizza, gyros, sushi, homemade pasta and smørrebrød, free to walk into from the street, with a courtyard through to the amusement park.

Family rooms sleep up to five, and the youngest find a soft green crocodile toy waiting for them when they arrive.

Compact rooms built around one wall-to-wall king bed, with lights and blinds run from a tablet.

Family rooms for four and junior suites with a separate bedroom that sleep five, in a big hotel looking out over the Lakes and the city skyline.
