This downtown hotel, popular with European businesspeople and group tours, was formerly a public bathhouse designed in 1902 and built by Martin Nyrop, the same architect who did Copenhagen Town Hall. All that remains of the hotel's former incarnation are the black granite columns in the lobby, and wall reliefs of bathing women and men. There are a variety of rooms, apartments, and suites, some much better located than others; ask for a street, rather than a courtyard, view. Rooms aren't terribly fancy, but they're clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet in the turn-of-the-20th-century dining room is ample and nourishing. One big benefit of the Ascot is that it's less than a five-minute walk to Tivoli. The staff is friendly and efficient.
