This is by far the coolest hotel l ever I have stayed at! If you get the chance, you MUST go there. Everything was amazing, and after a 5 course's, I experienced a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed. The only pointer I can give them is: lf they are looking for a Michelin star, the waiters need a little more training (not that it was bad but still).

Pretty hotel but unfortunately awful food Breakfast was pretty boring. We bought the 5-course dinner (vegetarian). Only the starter and the dessert was delicious. Rest of it was not very tastefull and we didn’t finish our dishes because they didn’t taste very well. We told the waiter who offered us a toast after the dinner if we were still hungry. Seemed a bit like they were use to costumers being unhappy about the food. Conclusion. Visit to see the decorations but find another place to eat. The food and wine is highly overpriced for what your get.

A truly remarkable experience - the atmosphere, the food, not to mention the great service! We cannot wait to come back!

2 aspects of our visit stood out: The attentiveness of the service from first arrival, through dinner and then breakfast was excellent. What the staff lack in years, they more than make up in attitude and knowledge. Secondly, the quality of the food was superb, the 5 course dinner was excellent and adapted very well to vegan and vegetarian requirements without losing out. Breakfast was also very different from the average hotel fare, but again very tasty. Our room in the pavilion was comfortable and the whole interior design needs to be seen to be appreciated.

Stayed here two nights as a mini honeymoon and they graciously upgraded our room. The food is incredible here, and the hospitality is so warm. The surroundings are lovely and there’s a great hiking path around the lake.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
