The 4-star Copenhagen Admiral Hotel greets its guests with a canon salute and champagne at the quayside after they have been picked up from Kastrup Airport by the frigate H.M.S. Pinafore. For the maritime evening gala they will find period costumes from the 18th century in the 366 rooms of the former warehouse built in 1787. And while landlubbbers, sailors, admirals and elegant ladies are swaying to the music, a few pirates might just drop by. www.admiralhotel.dk
