Koldingfjord Hotel

You're close to town but can still feel you're in the country if you check into this vast compound at the edge of the fjord and surrounded by beautiful beech forests. Formerly a Radisson SAS hotel, this is the most appealing hotel in the region, lying on the opposite bank of Kolding Fjord, a 5km (3-mile) drive from the center. The ostentatious and somewhat grandiose complex began life in 1911 as a neo-Classical palace erected on 20 hectares (49 acres) of forested land. After a stint as a hospital and later a school, the site was transformed into a first-class hotel in 1988. Each of the midsize-to-spacious bedrooms is individually designed in a combination of classic decor and modern Danish design. Rooms open onto views, of either the forest or the fjord, and are spread across the main building and three of the original outbuildings, each offering "separate but equal" facilities. Also on the premises are a brand-new, very large convention center and a recommended restaurant.
