Local tips
- Aim for a weekday evening if you prefer a quieter, more intimate atmosphere with plenty of space to linger over a cocktail or glass of wine.
- Take time to walk around the room and look closely at the Hornsleth artworks; the details and text fragments change the feel of the bar once you notice them.
- Ask the bartender for a recommendation based on your taste rather than ordering from habit; the bar is set up for tailored cocktails and wine suggestions.
- Consider combining a visit with dinner either at the hotel’s own brasserie or another nearby restaurant, using the lounge for pre‑ or post‑meal drinks.

Discover more about Hotel Randers by Hornsleth, lounge and bar
Art, cocktails and heritage under one roof
Hotel Randers by Hornsleth occupies a corner of one of Jutland’s oldest hotels, a property that has welcomed guests since the mid‑19th century. Step inside from Torvegade and you move from a busy commercial street into a carefully staged world of soft lighting, polished wood and deeply upholstered seating. The bar is an extension of the hotel lounge, but with its own personality: part classic grand‑hotel bar, part contemporary gallery space. The concept was created as a way to give both locals and hotel guests a place to linger rather than simply pass through the lobby. You are not just in a hotel bar; you are in a curated environment that treats the drink in your hand as seriously as the artwork on the walls.Hornsleth’s provocative visual universe
The bar’s identity is shaped by Danish artist Kristian von Hornsleth, known for conceptual and often controversial work that plays with politics, branding and the idea of identity. Here his colourful, graphic pieces hang against otherwise refined interiors, adding a jolt of energy to the room. The contrast between antique‑tinged hotel corridors and the sharp visual language of Hornsleth’s art is deliberate and sets the tone for the experience. Sit at the bar and you can study details in the canvases while the backbar glows with rows of bottles. The art becomes part of the social fabric of the evening; it is a natural conversation starter and gives the lounge a distinctive character compared with more traditional Danish hotel bars.Craft cocktails and serious wine culture
The drinks programme is a major draw. The bar presents itself as one of Randers’ few true craft‑cocktail addresses, where classic recipes are reworked with attention to balance and presentation. Expect well‑executed staples alongside house signatures, often served in elegant glassware with minimal but precise garnish. Wine is equally important. In collaboration with a regional wine partner, the lounge builds changing selections by the glass and bottle, with staff able to guide you through styles rather than simply taking an order. Champagne, fortified wines and carefully chosen spirits round out a menu that suits both slow pre‑dinner sipping and late‑night celebrations.Atmosphere from early evening to late night
Opening hours are focused on evenings, with a slightly earlier start and later finish at weekends. On weekdays the mood tends to be relaxed: business travellers with laptops closed for the day, couples sharing a bottle of wine, and locals dropping in for a single cocktail before heading home. Fridays and Saturdays stretch later into the night and can feel more social and upbeat, especially when the hotel is busy. Music plays at a level that still allows conversation, and the layout offers both bar‑stool interaction and more secluded corners. Service leans toward hotel polish: attentive but not intrusive, with staff used to switching between Danish and English as needed.In the heart of compact, walkable Randers
Set at Torvegade 11 in Randers C, the bar sits just a short walk from the town’s pedestrian streets, shops and cultural venues. This central position makes it an easy meeting point before a concert, dinner elsewhere in town or a night exploring other spots. Because Randers’ historic centre is compact and largely walkable, the lounge works well as a final stop on an evening out, offering a refined contrast to more casual pubs and cafés nearby. Even if you are not staying at the hotel, the bar feels welcoming rather than exclusive. You simply enter through the main hotel doors and drift naturally into the lounge area, where the combination of local regulars and overnight guests creates a pleasantly mixed crowd.Who will enjoy this lounge most
Hotel Randers by Hornsleth is best suited to travellers and locals who appreciate atmosphere as much as what is in their glass. If you like to study artwork between sips, enjoy well‑made cocktails without the noise of a dedicated nightclub, or want a refined but relaxed place to talk, this is an ideal choice. It also works well for solo guests who enjoy sitting at the bar, couples looking for a date‑night setting, and small groups starting or ending an evening. Those seeking very loud music or dancing will generally find it quieter than a club, but for a sophisticated drink in an environment with a strong sense of place, it is one of the most distinctive addresses in central Randers.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
