4 Best Hotels in Jutland, Denmark

One of the most glitzy and historical places to stay in Skagen was built by Emma and Hans Christian Ruth before World War I. Since then it's been completely rebuilt with modern facilities, and its main restaurant, Okê, is one of the most popular restaurants in town. There's also a brasserie that serves French food prepared with local ingredients. Rooms are typically lavish in an understated, Scandinavian way, and all have balconies or terraces and Swedish-made DUX beds; some have hot tubs. The wellness center provides regular spa and beauty treatments.

Set in a historic mansion that dates back to 1808, this modest lodging may not add anything to the annals of great hotels, but it does offer clean, functional rooms with all the amenities one expects: Wi-fi, flat-screen TVs, and coffee facilities. Some rooms have been updated, have larger bathrooms, and are markedly nicer than others, so be sure to request one when booking. The hotel restaurant décor feels a bit retro, but the food is good, especially the plentiful buffet breakfast. There's also a bright indoor swimming pool.

This beachside hotel easily boasts the best views in town, with all rooms facing east, toward the sea. The rooms are cheerful and colorful and let in the sun---the entire east wall of the room is a window.

It may be a bit pricier than other area hotels, including the several other hotels run by Lego, but it is inside Legoland Village, and your room rate includes two days' admission to the park, as well as direct access to the park through the hotel so that you avoid the long lines at the usual entrance. Many of the colorful guest rooms overlook all the action. This hotel is beyond kid friendly: pictograms help children identify which room they are in, and rooms include the requisite Legos for kids of all ages to play with. The restaurant serves good meals, and at lunch and dinner, a children's buffet is also available. There's golf, tennis, and a pool nearby.
