This is a bastion of both comfort and gastronomy -- its restaurant, in fact, is one of the greatest outside Copenhagen. Located in the sand dunes of Old Skagen, it stands by the beach just 4km (2 1/2 miles) from the center of modern Skagen. It takes its name from its founders, Emma and Hans Christian Ruth. The bedrooms are superior to anything at Skagen, beautifully furnished and designed, exuding spaciousness and light. Some units have a Jacuzzi. A private balcony or terrace opens onto a view of the sea.
The spa is one of the best in Jutland, complete with solarium, sauna, Turkish baths, therapy pool, and gym. The hotel restaurant, Ruth's Gourmet, is one of the top five in the country outside of Copenhagen, yet we hesitate to recommend it because it requires reservations a month in advance. If you're lucky enough to get a table, you'll be rewarded with Chef Michel Michaud's repertoire of sublime dishes, which embrace the best of fine French cuisine and tradition, with a carefully chosen wine carte. You stand a better chance of dining on the airy, sunlit terrace of the on-site Brasserie; the food here is watched over by Chef Michaud himself.
