The renowned hotels of Denmark
The Danish hotels known abroad are few: a handful of grand hotels in Copenhagen, and country houses, castles and seaside hotels a short drive or ferry away. Three of them belong to Relais & Châteaux: Dragsholm Slot, a thirteenth-century castle in Odsherred; Falsled Kro, a sixteenth-century inn on the water in south Funen; and Dyvig Badehotel on the Als Fjord. Four belong to SLH: Nimb Hotel and Hotel Sanders in the city, Park Lane Copenhagen in Hellerup, and Helenekilde Badehotel in Tisvildeleje. The MICHELIN Guide gives its Keys to Hotel d'Angleterre, Hotel Sanders, Nimb, Park Lane Copenhagen, Falsled Kro and Allinge Badehotel on Bornholm.
