About us
Who we are
Grandeur was born from our shared passion for a thoughtfully curated lifestyle. We’re a young couple from Copenhagen, Denmark’s capital, and our journey together began as teenagers with a mutual love for experiencing the world. While we’re quite different in many ways, our shared interest in travel and dining has always been our common ground.
As we started exploring the world, from local culinary gems to international destinations, we became increasingly intentional about the places we chose to visit. Over time, our experiences and preferences shaped a unique perspective on the hotels and restaurants that best resonated with us. Friends and family began to associate certain destinations, dining spots, and accommodations with us, often seeking our guidance in planning their journeys.
The idea for Grandeur came naturally from our desire to share the positive experiences we’ve collected along the way. We know the time and effort it takes to find the perfect places that align with our values and style, and we aim to make that process easier for others.
How we curate
By taking travel curation to the next step, we aim to simplify the travel experience by selecting and categorising only the best options. We seek to build loyalty by consistently offering top recommendations for each destination.
Our curation includes only those recommendations that align with Grandeur’s distinct style, emphasising authenticity, aesthetic appeal, quality, and a sense of coolness. This vibe flows through every recommendation on Grandeur.
Focusing solely on what we believe are the absolute best spots in each destination, carefully selecting only those deserving a place in our guide and journal. We aim for a curated number of recommendations without feeling bound to any minimum requirement, intentionally avoiding an overload of options. We strive to prevent “option paralysis” for travellers, ensuring a clear and concise selection of what’s genuinely worth experiencing.
Our city guides' recommendations are divided into two main categories: Eats and Stays. Further, we’ve refined these into three distinct categories: Splurge, Chic, Modern for Eats and Heritage, Modern, and Bargain for Stays. After careful consideration, we believe these six categories provide meaningful insights and consistency across Grandeur’s recommendations.
In addition to our primary city guides, we also offer Le Grand Tour Grandeur’s Journal. Here, you will find a wider variety of content, ranging from in-depth reviews to top lists and ratings of travel-related products. The Journal may also feature collaborations, whereas the guides are untouchable, consisting solely of our objective opinions and free from sponsored content.
