This historic and luxurious complex would be a complete delight if it weren't conference-crazed. Rooms during the peak of winter might not always be available if a convention is booked. But when midsummer arrives, and most Frommer's readers are in the Silkeborg area, a stay here can be one of the most rewarding in Central Jutland. The location itself is idyllic -- close to the Gudenå River. Set within a well-maintained park, the hotel originated in the 1700s, when the manager of the surrounding game reserve and forest built a well-appointed home for himself. In the mid-1980s, under the ownership of Silkeborg's largest bank (which books at least 30% of all convention space for its own managers and staff members), it was expanded into the convention center and hotel you'll see today.

Rooms are larger than you might expect, and filled with comfortable furnishings. Cafe tables are set up on the hotel's verdant lawns during mild weather, and the hotel's restaurant offers well-prepared, carefully choreographed meals.
