Cars 4 Rental Guide To Accomodation in  Denmark

Contact the Danish Tourist Board (see Contact Addresses section) for information on booking hotels and for details of the savings from the use of a Scandinavian Bonus Pass (which must be applied for in advance) or Inn Cheques.

HOTELS: Travellers without reservations can book at one of the provincial tourist offices. Denmark’s fine beaches attract many visitors, and there are hotels and pensions in all major seaside resorts. For more information or a list of hotels, contact HORESTA (Association of the Danish Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Industry), Vodroffsvej 46, DK-1900 Frederiksberg C (tel: 3524 8080; fax: 3524 8086; e-mail: horesta@horesta.dk; website: www.danishhotels.dk or www.horesta.dk) or the Danish Tourist Board (see Contact Addresses section). Grading: Hotels are graded with 1-5 stars. Approximately 470 hotels and holiday centres (some 85 per cent of Denmark’s total hotel capacity) that are members of HORESTA are taking part in the grading scheme. The Danish Tourist Board publishes an annual list of about 1000 establishments, describing facilities and tariffs; quoted prices are inclusive of MOMS (VAT). Green Key certificates: A number of hotels and hostels in Denmark are also participating in a grading scheme based on environmental concerns. To receive an eco-friendly certificate (a so-called ‘Green Key’), participating establishments have to fulfil 55 strict ecological criteria. For further details and a list of Green Key hotels and hostels, contact The Green Key (see HORESTA address above; website: www.dengroennenoegle.dk).

INNS: Excellent inns are to be found all over the country. Some are small and only cater for local custom, but others are tailored for the tourist and have established high culinary reputations for both international dishes and local specialities. For further details, contact the Danish Tourist Board.

BED AND BREAKFAST: There are private rooms to let, usually for 1 night, all over Denmark.

FARMHOUSE HOLIDAYS: Rooms are often available for rent in farmhouses. Visitors stay as paying guests of the family and, although it is not expected, are welcome to help with the daily chores of the farm. Alternatively, in some cases separate apartments are available close to the main farmhouse. Many farms have their own fishing streams. All holiday homes and farmhouses are inspected and approved by the local tourist office.
