History and uniqueness

The hotel goes by the tagline “Big enough to serve you, small enough to know you”, and it is quite apt.  Created in a traditional Scandinavian architecture, the building dates back to 1660.  It has been hotel since then and welcomed thirsty travellers who pass by through this gorgeous village. Although the present building goes back to 1860.

The Location

Located in the sleepy little town of Charlottenlund, only 7 kms away from Copenhagen (roughly 20 minutes by bus to city centre), this is a whole world away from the buzz of the city between forest area and sea.  The hotel is in the opulent suburb surrounded by fisherman houses, overlooking the sea.  On a clear day, you can see the Oresund bridge.  

The Rooms

There are 22 rooms built in Scandinavian style, all aesthetically designed and refurbished with seductive light setting. Most of the rooms have balconies that are overlooking the sea. All rooms are equipped with Flat Screen TVs, Hair Dryer, Safe, Minibar, Toiletries and free wi-fi to the guests.

Facilities at the Hotel

The hotel also provide rooms for various occasions from training rooms to corporate to turning the place into a gorgeous wedding venue, Skovshoved knows the likes of the guests, and is a hotel for all occasions.  They have also housed various birthday parties, funerals, Christmas dinners and has hosted parties of the size of 180 people.

Go past the reception, and you will fall in love with their lounge area.  The interiors and the dim lights not only mesmerize you, but makes one feel like home.  The lounge also has a great collection of books.

Restaurant

The hotel has a lovely back garden where they grow their own organic vegetables.  The restaurant is very famous and takes pride in being only hotel in Scandinavia to be recommended in Guide Michelin for the last 3 years.  The head chef of the restaurant is Phillippe Houdet who has won Michellin star award churned out the best food.  You can have the food inside, or at outdoor terrace or glass conservatory.  Alluring menu and exotic taste blend to give the best gastronomic experience here. 

As vegetarian travellers, we found this hotel served amazing and tasty food from the locally grown produce.  The food that we had were absolute tasty, and there’s a signature element that still linger in our mouth.  Be it the Rye bread, or grilled vegetables with fermented sauce, or the tasty dessert. Very few restaurants have made us feel this way, and Skovshoved tops that. Only downside being the portions seemed very less.
