4 Best Hotels in Jutland, Denmark

Originally built in 1581 by a city alderman, the Dagmar became an inn by 1800. Although ordinances prohibit such modern conveniences as an elevator, some contemporary touches are apparent. For a hotel of this vintage, standard rooms are quite comfortable (though not lavish); some have canopy beds. The restaurant is fantastic, with seasonal set (two to six courses) and à la carte menus.

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.

At 16 stories, this property—a five-minute walk to the train station and 10 minutes from the city center—is one of the city's few high-rises, meaning plenty of light and balconies overlooking Kildepark. Rooms are fully functional, but lack some of the modern conveniences, like a minibar, air conditioning, and safe. The newly modernized top-floor Restaurant Kilden, with wonderful views of the city, offers an ample breakfast, and it's worth checking out the daily dinner specials. Weekend rates are very reasonable.

Very close to the airport (and to Legoland), this hotel changed its name and underwent renovation in 2022. It's a basic, comfortable place to stay for quick access to the park, and it has some perks for kids: indoor and outdoor play areas, a swimming pool, and a special summer menu in the restaurant.
