Hotel Sanders is centrally located on a quiet neighborhood street in the heart of Copenhagen's historic center. It's directly behind the Royal Danish Theatre and is a quick stroll to the postcard-famous Nyhavn Canal.
Guest suite
The boutique property is owned by Alexander Kølpin, a renowned former Danish ballet dancer whose family has run a hotel business for three generations. Once the Opera Hotel, Kølpin bought the run-down property and gave it fresh life, reopening the property in 2017.
Rooftop Terrace
Sanders is chic and buzzy — yet relaxed and unpretentious.

The design is a collaboration between Kølpin and the London-based studio of Lind + Almond. It's a deft mix of sleek Danish mid-century modern design and colonial décor like rattan cane-couches, folding screens, potted palms, and textiles in botanical prints. From common spaces like the living room to the guest rooms and suites, it's all layered with vintage books, artwork, and one-of-a-kind objet that give each room a storied patina.

Each and every one of the hotel's 54 rooms is unique, from compact single rooms inspired by vintage luxury train cabins, to generously sized suites with features like kitchenettes, dining rooms, and separate lounge areas outfitted with fireplaces.

Per Norgard, Daring Symphonic Composer, Dies at 92
Per Norgard, a prolific and daring Danish composer whose radiant experiments with sound, form and tonality earned him a reputation as one of the leading latter-day symphonists, died on May 28 in Copenhagen. He was 92. His death, at a retirement home, was announced by his publisher, Edition Wilhelm Hansen. Mr. Norgard (pronounced NOR-gurr) composed eight symphonies, 10 string quartets, six operas, numerous chamber and concertante works and multiple scores for film and television, making him the father of Danish contemporary music. Following his death, he was described as 'an artist of colossal imagination and influence' by the critic Andrew Mellor in the British music publication Gramophone. Mr. Norgard's musical evolution encompassed the mid-20th century's leading styles, including Neo-Classicism, expressionism and his own brand of serialism, and incorporated a wide range of influences, including Javanese gamelan music, Indian philosophy, astrology and the works of the schizophrenic Swiss artist Adolf Wölfli. But he considered himself a distinctively Nordic composer, influenced by the Finnish symphonist Jean Sibelius, and that was how newcomers to his music often approached him. The infinite, brooding landscapes of Sibelius — along with the intensifying repetitions in the work of Mr. Norgard's Danish compatriot Carl Nielsen and the obsessive, short-phrase focus of the Norwegian Edvard Grieg — have echoes in Mr. Norgard's fragmented sound world. The delirious percussive expressions of Mr. Norgard's composition 'Terrains Vagues' (2000), the plinking raindrops of the two-piano, four-metronome 'Unendlicher Empfang' (1997) and the vast, discontinuous fresco of the Eighth Symphony (2011) all evoke the black-and-white northern vistas of Sibelius, with their intense play of light and shadow. As a young student at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen in the early 1950s, he was immersed in the music of Sibelius, writing to the older composer and receiving encouragement in return. 'When I discovered there was a kind of unity in his music, I was obsessed with the idea of meeting him,' he said in an interview. 'And to let him know that I didn't consider him out of date.'

Eriro
Welcome to the second iteration of Vogue's global spa guide, an index of the 100 best spas in the world, built from the expertise of our global editors and trusted contributors. There is a lot to choose from in the world of wellness, and no matter how far you're planning to travel—from a subway ride to a trans-Atlantic flight—we want to make sure it's worth the journey. Whatever your path, let us be your guide. Why go here? 'I want to live here' is the sentence I find myself saying over and over as I walk through the boutique hotel Eriro, nestled at an elevation of 1,500 meters among the peaks of the Zugspitze, Germany's largest mountain. Space, pace, and a fluid relationship to nature: These are the main motifs for this cozy nine-suite retreat surrounded by majestic mountains, lakes, and the dense pine forest of Seebenwald. It is not a coincidence that in ancient German the word eriro means 'forest entrance.' The chalet feels like a portal to a green aquatic world. All around, the presence of water is tangible. Down the hill from the hotel flows the Loisach river, which crosses an ancient mossland and separates Ehrwald and Lermoos. Up in the mountains above Eriro are the wonderful lakes Seebensee (Seeben Lake) and Drachensee (Dragon Lake). There is snow in the winter with skiing and in summer mountain bikes and hiking trails among the wildflowers. At the hotel the experience is visual, tactile, and sensorial: Wood, stone, wool, and glass are the dominant materials. Guests are encouraged to touch, smell, and engage with everything. This place feels like an actual dream home, a magical dwelling that is both familiar and wild. And the spa center certainly reflects this philosophy. Photo: Alexander Moling / Courtesy of Eriro What's the vibe? To reach Eriro, you park your car in the Austrian village of Ehrwald and ride five kilometers up the mountain on a gondola. Every bedroom comes equipped with a small wooden box, the place where phones go to die. Wi-Fi is present but not visible. The challenge is clear: Relaxation begins once we access our inner self, and this requires a true forfeiting of manic screen life. (Another great touch is each room's vinyl record player and collection.) The spa exemplifies Eriro's ethos of reconnecting to nature and disconnecting from the digital realm. It is situated on the bottom floor with all the larger suites, its architecture encouraging a grounding experience. (One of the guest rooms has a gorgeous, built-in sauna, and all the suites have bathtubs made from carved pine.) The floors are rough, the wood is only partly treated, and the water comes from a mountain spring collected from Eriro's own well. A feeling of freedom and fluidity runs through this very special place. The spa has no opening or closing hours. You're just as likely to see after-dinner guests in the spa with a mug of tea as a flute of Champagne. Photo: Alexander Moling / Courtesy of Eriro The history? The hotel is a collaboration between hoteliers Amelie and Dominik Posch, Christina and Martin Spielmann, and South Tyrolean architect Martin Gruber, who decided to renovate a 1936 Alpine hut and transform it into a refuge for the soul and mind. (A nice touch: Most of the wood here is recycled from old barns or the inn's first 1930s incarnation.) The inn's original owner loved this place so much that he wanted to ensure it would be sold to people who would maintain its original spirit. This means there is no grand entrance, no driveway, no arrival procedure. The official entrance is actually through the back door. The minute you cross the threshold, you are immediately in the main room, which is a kind of spacious yet cozy living room with stunning views of the valley below. It's all an homage to old-school Alpine tourism, as it was in the '30s. Photo: Alexander Moling / Courtesy of Eriro What should you try? The main idea for the spa is to access as many outside elements as possible, so you would be remiss to skip the water therapy. There are three hot-water relaxation pools, and the water from the pools and showers is all filtered in-house, without chemicals or chlorine. In the summer, the grasslands are visible from the large pool windows, giving the impression that you're floating over a wild field of flowers. Along with the pools and sauna is a so-called straw room, inspired by the stables used to store straw and hay for animals in winter. Here you will find the only television of Eriro, screening exclusively produced footage of the surrounding mountain peaks and lakes. Deerskin swings and infrared vibrations help the relaxation process. Photo: Alexander Moling / Courtesy of Eriro Every treatment at Eriro begins with a ceremonial foot bath followed by an intuitive holistic massage, a combination of energy work as well as physical work focusing on acupressure and energetic flow. My masseuse showed me a collection of mountain arnica, St. John's wort, and stinging nettle she picked herself. 'Everyone is so afraid of nettle,' she says. 'But it's one of the herbs with the greatest variety of benefits. It boosts immunity, controls inflammation, cures arthritis, and helps with diabetes.' The hotel purposefully chooses not to work with cosmetic brands, using local, natural products instead. An array of herbal teas—Alpine mix, chamomile, and mint—is served at all times; the herbs are collected in the summer and dried for the winter season. After the massage, I took a contemplative walk around a lake, followed by a breathing meditation on the water with a Tibetan bowl. The wind was the only sound I heard for hours, and I could feel my body begin to change. Photo: Alexander Moling / Courtesy of Eriro What else should we know? Before reaching Eriro I made a pit stop at a sister property, an Alpine hideaway called La Posch in the gorgeous chalet village Biberwier—and you might want to extend your trip at Eriro to include this spot as well. The idea running through both La Posch and Eriro is that the spa should be a seamless experience. Who can go? Eriro is for adults only. Children under 16 are not permitted as guests. Because of its intimate, almost domestic feeling, the spa is also open exclusively for hotel guests. Reaching the chalet is a romantic adventure in itself, so guests must keep that in mind when venturing up.
