The Monica Hotel: Flowers and Line-Dried Linens on an Island in Denmark

The Monica, a three-room guest house in the town of Ærøskøbing on the Danish island of Ærø, is the work of Monica Conradsen, who serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the kitchen, hangs bed linens to dry in the herb garden, and runs a well-appointed shop next door. Join us for a look.

Monica had the original iron window restored and stocks the store with well-designed ceramics, textiles, and essentials (like Mason Pearson hairbrushes) she sources herself.
