An indoor atrium where ferns, palms, and hanging potted plants cascade down eight storeys of black-painted steel and warm brick — this is the image that most visitors carry away from Manon Les Suites, the Copenhagen Lakes property that has made a quietly radical argument for biophilic hotel design since opening in 2016. The atrium pool at its centre, framed by white-painted daybed structures and terracotta planters, turns what could have been a conventional courtyard into something closer to a tropical greenhouse transplanted to a Scandinavian city block. The rooms pursue an industrial-residential register: exposed concrete ceilings, dark slate-tile feature walls dividing sleeping from living areas, wide-plank oak floors, and tufted black leather sofas paired with timber-framed furniture that carries the influence of mid-century Danish craft without reproducing it slavishly. Marshall speakers on console tables and original paintings on white walls give the suites the atmosphere of a creative's apartment rather than a serviced room. Downstairs, the restaurant space layers Persian rugs over stone tile floors beneath a matte-black ceiling threaded with exposed ductwork and Edison filament pendants — an eclecticism that stops short of chaos because the tonal palette, dark ground with warm wood and amber light, holds it together. On the roof, oversized red parasols and rattan chairs complete a terrace that shifts the register entirely toward Mediterranean leisure, an intentional contrast with the green wildness eight floors below.
