The Bar/Lounge at Lydmar Hotel

"Casual lounge and smart roof terrace with a cocktail bar"

"Big windows, unique light fixtures, and cool wall art make for stylish spaces, plus rooms are decked out in modern comforts like minibars, Nespresso coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi"

"The 46 neutral-toned rooms are wonderfully spacious, while the dining room/bar, with its walls lined with books and the sort of artfully arranged clutter that can be achieved only by a lifetime of luxury travel, feels like a living room"

"Chic and luxury hotel with awesome bar and restaurant"

"How many hotels give each floor its own distinctive living room—a private lounge away from the bustling lobby that buzzes with a stylish city’s most beautiful and well-connected denizens? And how often is that lobby also an art gallery, a worthy destination in itself and a gateway to rooms where the likes of Damien Hirst would feel right at home? Surely it’s rare to find a rather small hotel like this—home to three of a city’s hottest bars, including two with unobstructed waterfront views of the Royal Palace and surrounding harbor"

"A bonus for culturephiles: the hotel contains an amazing collection of contemporary photography, along with plenty of art books to browse in the lobby and lounge"

"Its airy and contemporary trimmings, reminiscent of a wealthy friend’s home, with waterfront views of the Royal Palace make it a popular spot for after-work loungers and artists"

"The hotel's facilities are a bit limited, but the scope runs to meet modern travelers head on, with a lobby and adjoining lounge that create a warm and inviting living-room ambience"

"There was no Scandi minimalism in the restaurant-bar area at the Lydmar – it felt more like a friend’s welcoming living room than anything else"
