April 5, 2024... A 50-minute drive from the historic center of Copenhagen or a 1 ¼ hour train ride, you can immerse yourself in two of Denmark’s most stylish beach hotels – Helenekilde Badehotel and Tisvildeleje Strandhotel in the town of Tisvildeleje in North Zealand. Here you can discover an unspoiled, Scandinavian treasure, the lively yet relaxed seaside town of Tisvildeleje. The area is often referred to as the Danish Riviera or the “Hamptons of Denmark.” A hip beach town for Copenhagen creatives, it is also known for its untouched nature and pristine beaches.
"One can find comfort year-round in Tisvldeleje. It's easy to be inspired by the seasons where you can enjoy the long and brilliant days of summer by the sea, or cozy up in winter. It's the perfect escape for engaging in activities, celebrating weddings, having a brainstorming session or a company party," says Karim Nielsen, CEO Kolpin Hotels.
Helenekilde Badehotel
Built in 1896, Helenekilde Badehotel is a historic gem located along the beautiful Danish coastline in Tisvilde, encompassing a rich history filled with charm and elegance. Named one of the "20 Most Romantic Places to Stay in Europe and the UK" by The Times UK, the 28-room property sits on a bluff with sweeping views of the Kattegat. Conveniently, you'll find a pathway leading down to the sea for an invigorating morning dip.
Quiet luxury might best describe the overall vibe at the hotel, yet it delivers a rich experience. The accommodations are simply decorated yet furnished with everything you need. All the rooms enjoy extraordinary light, and several have a private balcony. Most importantly, a stay at Helenekilde puts you in touch with the sea, forest, beach and the light that is unique to this part of the world. It takes no effort to disconnect with technology and reconnect with nature, arriving in a place that is known for healing powers.
In 2001 and 2006, Helenekilde Badehotel and its sister hotel, Tisvilde Strandhotel, were acquired by the dedicated Kølpin family. Under the careful leadership of Alexander Kølpin, both hotels were renovated in 2008, preserving the original architectural features and historical spirit.
Tisvildeleje Strandhotel
At Tisvildeleje Strandhotel, located in the middle of Tisvildeleje town, guests can feel the city's special atmosphere throughout the hotel. Guests and locals alike can enjoy the gorgeous view of the sea or watch the vibrant life on main street from the hotel's raised terrace.
The charming hotel, originally established in 1895 as a private residence, has a rich history that whispers through its very foundations. In 2008, it underwent a remarkable renovation under the vision of Alexander Kølpin, transforming the property into a captivating boutique hotel with 23 comfortably appointed rooms and suites. The interior design of the hotel warmly embraces you, allowing guests to not only see but also feel the vibrant history residing within the walls. Conveniently located mere steps from the pristine Tisvildeleje beach, the hotel stands ready to welcome guests to a place where inspiration, creativity and productivity harmonize just moments from the seaside.
A Year Round Welcome
"Starting this year, both properties are welcoming visitors all year long. Considering all the area has to offer, from the combination of outdoor nature experiences, local activities, and fresh gastronomic offerings, it isn’t hard to understand why," says Nielsen.
