When you book a room at Skodsborg, you get free access to their spa and wellness facilities.
With two restaurants on-site, you can diversify your culinary experiences.

3. Marienlyst Strandhotel near Hamlet’s Castle
Now, let’s take a quick train ride outside of Copenhagen to Elsinore (Helsingør, in Danish) – Marienlyst Strandhotel certainly deserves a mention in this guide.
The beautiful and unique Marienlyst Strandhotel is just 1 kilometre from Kronborg Castle (also known as Hamlet’s Castle) and has a private beach.
Check out my video from Elsinore:
The scenic surroundings are particularly suitable for couples.
With both a fitness centre and a restaurant, there’s ample room for cosy and intimate moments and focusing on yourselves and your well-being.
Marienlyst Strandhotel’s history is intertwined with royal regulars and pampering. The hotel’s history began in 1861, a number that recurs in the name of the hotel restaurant: Brasserie 1861.
With over 150 years of experience serving guests, you and your partner are in good hands.
The romantic atmosphere at the hotel is further enhanced by the spa, developed over an entire 2-year period! That means 2 years spent perfecting the spa before it came into use.
Body, mind, and soul will find peace and well-being in the 1,600-square-meter large spa, offering luxurious experiences and wellness at a high level.
The spa offers 10 specially developed treatments just for Marienlyst Strandhotel, all using natural products.

FAQ:
What is the best spa hotel in Copenhagen?
The spa hotels that receive the best reviews include Kurhotel Skodsborg, Marienlyst Strandhotel, and Nimb in Copenhagen. I discuss several spa stays in Copenhagen in various price ranges in this list.
What does a spa stay in Denmark cost?
Many hotels offer special spa stay packages and deals, with an offer that includes access to the spa, afternoon tea, dinner, and breakfast buffet, among other things. These packages typically cost from around 2000 DKK for two people, but you can, of course, opt to book just the overnight stay at the hotel ‘as usual’ and thus get a significantly cheaper stay while still being able to use the spa.
Travel ressources & websites I use all the time 👇
• Booking.com has the best offers on hotels and unique places to stay
• GetYourGuide is the best place to book tours & activities with free cancellation
• NordVPN is the only VPN I've ever needed for travel (it just works, everywhere)
• Welcome Pickups is the best & safest place to pre-book airport transfers
