32 THE WORLD OF HOSPITALITY
VILLA COPENHAGEN
CUISINE : Executive Chef Tore Gustafsson is responsible for Villa Copenhagen ’ s sustainable food profile , which focuses on ‘ carbon-free ’ dining and zero food waste . He worked with Epicurean , an F & B design studio from celebrated interior design house Goddard Littlefair , to develop all five of the hotel ’ s food and beverage outlets . Located on the ground floor in the former sorting room of the Post House , the Public and Rug Bakery outlets make up a spacious breakfast and flexible event space with an open kitchen , where guests are provided with personalised options for fresh bread , pastries , and coffee , including individually sealed to-go ‘ FIKA ’ bags , as well as à la carte options that can be served via in-room dining . The T37 Bar & Lounge offers a menu of tongue-in-cheek aesthetic , craft
cocktails , and light dishes in a beautifully restored corner with original marble columns . Next door , the Playroom is stocked with table and board games , books , and plush furniture for laidback evenings . Kontrast brasserie has its own street entrance facing Central Station , and provides a cosy all-day restaurant open to city residents with contemporary takes on mid-century décor . Fresh , flavourful dishes made with organic ingredients from the hidden garden and local suppliers are served by Gustafsson and his team from a bustling open kitchen .
LOCAL PARTNERS : To showcase Villa Copenhagen ’ s personal and diverse approach to guest services , the frontof-house team is kitted out in uniforms by local sustainable fashion brand sur le chemin . While coordinated , team members can choose items that best suit their individual style from the capsule collection , which is made up of different pieces with prints of notable Copenhagen streets . Other hotel partners include Skandinavisk natural fragrances for in-room guest amenity kits ; NOTEM Studio for hotel stationery ; Bodum for porcelain dinnerware ; and Mikkeller beer for guest minibars , with the craft brewery also hosting a curbside beer bus serving refreshing ales to guests this summer .
