Discover more about Hotel Jutlandia
A Harbor-Front Institution with Maritime Heritage
Hotel Jutlandia stands as a defining landmark in Frederikshavn, positioned directly opposite the busy ferry terminal where vessels depart daily to Gothenburg and Oslo. Built in 1968 and substantially renovated in 2009, this six-story property has become synonymous with the city's maritime character. The hotel is family-owned and operated, with the current director a grandchild of the original builder, ensuring a personal touch and deep commitment to hospitality that spans generations. The location is uncompromising: guests wake to views of the Kattegat Sea, ferries moving through the harbor, and the rhythmic pulse of one of Denmark's busiest ports. This waterfront positioning is both the hotel's greatest asset and its defining feature, making it impossible to miss when arriving or departing the city.Rooms and Accommodations with Panoramic Character
The hotel offers 104 rooms across six floors, ranging from standard rooms to suites. All accommodations include television, minibar, and complimentary WiFi. Many rooms feature balconies or seating areas with harbor views—the premium amenity that justifies the hotel's reputation. Rooms are described as spacious and tastefully decorated, with comfortable beds and modern furnishings following the 2009 renovation. Some guests note that standard rooms are compact by contemporary standards, though the views compensate considerably. Upper floors are accessible by elevator, and the hotel accommodates early check-in and late check-out requests subject to availability.Dining and Beverage Experiences Overlooking the Sea
Sted1, the hotel's signature restaurant, occupies the sixth floor and specializes in international cuisine with emphasis on Danish culinary traditions. The restaurant operates for breakfast service daily and à la carte dinner service Wednesday through Saturday from 17:00, with table reservations recommended. The breakfast buffet is served 6:30–10:00 on weekdays and 7:00–10:00 on weekends, though it carries a surcharge. The hotel's bar program is substantial: two bars and lounges serve cocktails, international beers, and spirits. A cozy pub atmosphere complements the more formal dining experience, and a snack bar and café provide casual refreshment throughout the day.Facilities and Leisure Amenities
Beyond dining, Hotel Jutlandia provides a 24-hour fitness center, pool table, and darts for indoor recreation. Bicycle rentals are available nearby, and the hotel can arrange airport shuttle service for an additional charge. A 24-hour business center and meeting facilities accommodate corporate guests, with two meeting rooms capable of holding up to 90 people. The property is eco-certified through the Green Key program, reflecting commitment to environmental responsibility. Free WiFi extends throughout the property, and parking is available on-site.Strategic Position in Frederikshavn's Urban Fabric
The hotel's location at Havnepladsen 1 places it within a five-minute walk of Frederikshavn Station and mere steps from the Danmarksgade pedestrian shopping street. The harbor itself is directly adjacent, and numerous restaurants, cafés, and attractions lie within walking distance. Aalborg Airport is approximately 60 kilometers away, roughly one hour by car. The hotel's proximity to ferries, shops, and cultural sites makes it a natural base for exploring North Jutland, whether arriving by rail, road, or sea.Atmosphere and Guest Experience
Staff are consistently described as friendly, helpful, and English-speaking, with particular praise for their attentiveness to families and individual service. The hotel cultivates a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere despite its four-star classification. Guests frequently mention the pleasure of waking to harbor views, the quality of breakfast service, and the sense of being in a genuinely family-operated establishment rather than a corporate chain. The combination of location, service, and maritime character creates an experience that feels distinctly Danish and authentically connected to Frederikshavn's identity as a working port city.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
