Building an enthusiastic creative community in DC

A creative's night's stay (we need one of these in DC!)


If you're wondering where creatives stay in the city known as the home of the happiest people in the world (Copenhagen, Denmark), it'd be Hotel Fox, no doubt.

In a rather bizarre venture with Volkswagen, an aging hotel was brought back to glorious life by commissioning 21 artists, illustrators, graphic designers, graffiti artists that decorated its 61 rooms in anything from Japanese Manga to neo-Baroque to Pop Art. The rooms come in T-shirt sizes (S, M, L, XL), and savvy guests choose rooms to fit their mood. Of course, you can rent an ipod or a bicycle.

What else can you ask for? It's also near a train station and at the edge of Copenhagen's nightlife, plus it's part of a carbon-neutral program, naturally.

Thanks to CreativeDCer Rasul Sha'ir of Vosica for the reference!

If we get 20 responses/comments to this story, we'll set up a Group to maybe crowdsource one here in DC.

This hotel is just fantabulous!!!! I will surely make it my business to stay there one day and I want the XL size :-D. This is my first day on the site and already I found something to smile about and inspire me artistically. Maybe I'll start designing my room now ;-)

Helix is about as close as we get, no?
