Hotel Guldsmeden

Top choice in Aarhus


A top pick for its excellent location, warm staff, French Colonial–style rooms with Persian rugs, pretty garden oasis and relaxed, stylish ambience. Bumper breakfasts (mainly organic) are included, as is Guldsmeden's own organic toiletries range. Guldsmed means both goldsmith and dragonfly in Danish – look for sweet use of the dragonfly motif in the decor.

Originally a family home, this was the first of a small chain of hotels with locations throughout Denmark. They're all named after this street, which used to house goldsmiths and jewellers.
