A hotel holiday is all about freedom

A hotel holiday is all about freedom. Everything is laid on for the guest, who is then free to concentrate on seeking out those special holiday moments. But the hotel can in itself provide part of the holiday value. The range of options available is large, and the variety only adds to the charm.

Classification of hotelsAbout half of Danish hotels – 500 of them – are members of the industry association HORESTA, which has classified hotels according to a large number of criteria and given them from 0 to 5 stars, where 0 is basic accommodation and 5 is sheer luxury. Read more about hotel classification.
International luxury Denmark has hotels to suit every requirement and purse. Luxury hotels in the shape of fine buildings with a century of experience in giving guests the last word in care and attention. But the international chains – e.g. Marriott and Hilton – have established themselves in Copenhagen. With their striking architectural features and prime locations these hotels have shot up to complement the rich range of hotels that make Denmark an attractive destination for a hotel holiday.

Conferencing hotelsDenmark is rising to prominence as a conferencing country and therefore has an array of hotels specialised in offering all the facilities required to stage a successful conference. This naturally includes the comprehensive and efficient service that a discerning conference guest will expect.

Town and country In the cities the setting for a holiday might be either an 18th century warehouse or a brand new building designed by one of the great architects of our time. Out in the countryside the small provincial hotels have their own special atmosphere of comfort and familiarity. It may be a temperance hotel, where alcohol figures in neither the mini-bar nor on the menu. Or maybe a hotel that has been in one family for generations.
Seaside hotels
Along the coasts the seaside hotels that enjoyed a vogue a century ago have managed to preserve their own rustic charm. There are also modern family hotels at the seaside, with fun activities for both children and adults and often a swimming pool where you can make a splash even though it is not summer.

Castles & manor housesStay overnight in one of the many Danish castles and manor houses that have opened their wrought iron gates to tourists, and you are sure to feel the rush of their romantic charm and nobility. You will sleep like a baby in a four poster bed in historic surroundings and will dine in a beautiful hall or under an ancient vaulted ceiling. And here and there – if you get really lucky – you might even meet a ghost! - Read more about Castles & manor houses.
For the whole familyMany Danish hotels have fitted out special family rooms with plenty of space for both the adults and the kids. These rooms are very popular, not least during the school holidays. Danish inns are other haven for children - with playgrounds, activities and special menus for the youngsters. |
A good start to the dayBeing pampered is an important part of a hotel holiday. In many hotels breakfast is included in the price, and a sumptuous morning buffet is the best imaginable start to a day on holiday. The hotel reception staff will also be a mine of information about the town or the hotel locality.

Environmentally-aware?
If you want to help protect the environment you should look for The Green Key symbol as a guarantee that the hotel satisfies a number of stringent environmental requirements.
Discount schemes
Even the bigger Danish hotels are never so large that there is not room for the cosy concept of hygge – an all-Danish hallmark. In the summer season especially, when the conference guests and business travellers have departed, many hotels can offer favourable prices to tourist and weekend guests. On top of this, Denmark’s hotels have a wide range of hotel cheques and hotel pass schemes.
