Local tips
- If you are sensitive to noise, ask for a courtyard-facing room; street-side rooms enjoy more city atmosphere but can pick up sounds from the pedestrian area.
- Book dinner at Brasserie Mathisen in advance on weekends, especially if you are planning a special occasion or want a specific time slot.
- In warmer months, consider a lighter wardrobe for the rooms, as many historic European city hotels rely on natural ventilation rather than strong air-conditioning.
- If arriving by car, check current parking options and any height limits beforehand, as central Randers garages and on-site spaces can be tight.
- Use the hotel as a base for regional outings to Randers Regnskov and Djurs Sommerland; reception can help with local transport times and tickets.

Discover more about Hotel Randers
Historic heart of Randers since the 19th century
Hotel Randers has been a fixture on Torvegade since 1856, giving it one of the longest hotel traditions in Jutland. Behind the discreet facade, the building reveals layers of history, from period details in the public rooms to carefully preserved architectural features. Over time it has hosted notable local events, private celebrations, and visiting dignitaries, cementing its role as a social hub for the town. A substantial renovation in the mid‑2010s refreshed the interiors while respecting the building’s age. Corridors and lounges feel more like a classic city mansion than a chain hotel, with artworks, mouldings, and traditional materials lending a sense of continuity. It is an urban hotel rather than a resort, but one where the story of Randers is never far from view.Rooms with individual character and modern comforts
The hotel offers around 80 rooms and suites, divided into business, twin, superior, exclusive, and antique categories. Each is individually furnished, so no two layouts or decorative schemes are quite the same. Antique rooms and classic suites showcase historical furniture, patterned textiles, and more ornate details, ideal for travelers who enjoy a heritage feel. Business and superior rooms lean towards a cleaner, contemporary Scandinavian style, with warm woods, soft lighting, and neutral tones. All categories benefit from the 2016 renovation, with modern bathrooms, flat‑screen TVs, quality bedding with duvets, and practical workspaces. Some rooms look towards the pedestrian streets of central Randers, while others face the quieter inner courtyard.Brasserie Mathisen and convivial hotel life
A key feature of Hotel Randers is its gastronomic focus. The in‑house restaurant, Brasserie Mathisen, draws on seasonal Danish and European ingredients, serving refined dishes in an elegant yet relaxed dining room. Menus often change with the seasons, and dinner can easily become the focal point of a stay, whether for a business dinner or a celebratory meal. Mornings center on a substantial breakfast buffet featuring breads, cheeses, cold cuts, fruit, and hot options, served in a bright dining space that encourages a slow start to the day. Elsewhere in the building, a cozy bar and lounge provide an atmospheric corner for coffee, aperitifs, or a nightcap. Meeting rooms and function spaces reflect the property’s long experience in hosting weddings, receptions, and conferences.Prime city-center setting for exploring Randers
The hotel’s address on Torvegade places guests within steps of Randers’ main pedestrian shopping streets, cafés, and small squares. Cultural institutions and public art in the compact center are easily reached on foot, as are the town’s riverside paths. The location works especially well for travelers who prefer to explore on foot and return to a central base between museum visits, errands, or meetings. Because the building sits in an older part of town, vehicle access and parking are more constrained than at an out‑of‑town property, but the trade‑off is immediacy: urban life is right outside the lobby. In the evenings, the streets around the hotel feel pleasantly active rather than overwhelming, giving stays a distinctly small‑city Danish atmosphere.Facilities, wellness touches, and practical details
For a relatively intimate city hotel, Hotel Randers includes a thoughtful range of facilities. Guests have access to a small fitness area and a sauna, useful after a day of travel or sightseeing. The lobby level offers comfortable seating areas that double as informal meeting spots, and the layout of the public spaces allows for both quiet corners and sociable zones. Services typically include a 24‑hour reception, room service at set times, and options for dry cleaning or laundry, appealing to business travelers and longer stays. Wi‑Fi is available throughout the building, and the property is part of an international hotel collection, which helps maintain consistent service standards.Atmosphere and who it suits best
The overall mood at Hotel Randers is elegant but unpretentious: chandeliers and classic artwork sit alongside contemporary Danish design elements. Couples often choose it for its character and in‑house dining, while business guests appreciate the central location and meeting facilities. Its mix of room types also makes it workable for small families. Rather than a cutting‑edge design hotel, this is a place where the appeal lies in continuity, comfort, and a sense of place. Guests looking for a base with personality in eastern Jutland, and who value being able to step directly into an historic town center, will find Hotel Randers a fitting choice.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
