Family-Friendly Hotels

DGI-byen's Hotel. For many kids, staying here is like being in a deluxe playground, with a multicenter designed especially for children, plus five indoor heated swimming pools. If your kid is athletic, this hotel has more sporting facilities than any other in Denmark.

Hotel d'Angleterre. This elegant hotel contains a swimming pool and in-house video; both help keep children entertained. The hotel provides an appropriate setting for the Danish equivalent of Eloise's adventures at New York's old Plaza Hotel.

Hotel Fox. Each room has its own decor, with some that appeal directly to children, including the whimsical if surreal room devoted to Heidi and a few of the pastures in Switzerland's high Alps.

Ibsens Hotel. This hotel caters to families on a budget, as many of its triple rooms are large enough to house mom, dad, and one or two kids. There are no other special features for kids, however.

Kong Arthur. Once a home for Danish orphans, this is a safe haven in a residential section near tree-lined Peblinge Lake.
