- Ask at reception about regional day-trip ideas; staff can point you towards nearby highlights like Jelling, Ribe or Vejle that pair well with a Billund stay.
- For families, request a larger room or extra bed in advance, and check availability of children’s buffet options and play facilities during your stay.
- Browse the REFBORG gourmet shop before you leave; it is a good place to pick up tasteful Danish food gifts and wine without airport markups.
- If you are sensitive to noise or have mobility needs, request a quieter room and ground-floor access when booking, as the building does not have elevators.

Discover more about Refborg Hotel
A cosy hub in the heart of Billund
Refborg Hotel Billund sits right in the middle of town, in the heart of Jutland, making it an easy base for exploring the home of LEGO and the wider region. The building is one of Billund’s older properties, but inside you find a thoroughly modern, Scandinavian look: clean lines, pale woods and warm lighting that leans into Denmark’s love of hygge. It feels more like a welcoming local gathering place than a large chain hotel, with staff, shop and restaurant all tightly woven into everyday life. From here, LEGO House is almost on your doorstep, while LEGOLAND and the Lalandia waterpark are within comfortable walking distance. The hotel’s central position also puts you close to everyday amenities and low-key evening strolls around Billund, so you never feel confined to a resort bubble.Rooms with Scandinavian comfort
The hotel offers a compact collection of refurbished rooms, all designed in a distinctly Scandinavian style. Expect neutral tones, wooden floors or soft carpeting, simple but thoughtful furnishings and plenty of natural light. Each room comes with a private bathroom with shower, a flat-screen TV, a work desk and tea or coffee facilities, making it easy to unwind after theme-park adventures or a day of meetings. Family rooms and options for extra beds make it practical for parents travelling with children, while allergy-friendly rooms and step-free ground-floor access in some areas help guests with sensitivities or mobility needs. It is not a luxury property, but it feels noticeably more characterful than a standard airport hotel and offers the essential comforts done well.Spiseriet: Nordic flavours and local produce
The on-site restaurant, Spiseriet, doubles as the hotel’s social heart. Its menu is inspired by Nordic cuisine, with a focus on seasonal, often sustainable ingredients sourced from around Denmark. In the evening you can settle in for contemporary takes on Danish classics, complemented by a carefully chosen wine list and friendly, informal service. Mornings bring a generous buffet-style breakfast with breads, cheeses, meats, pastries, fruit and hot dishes, ideal for fuelling a long day at LEGOLAND. Throughout the day, the adjacent REFBORG Shop and café keep things going with light meals, good coffee, local delicacies and gourmet gifts, so you can pick up something edible to take home or enjoy a simple lunch without leaving the building.Gourmet shop, meetings and local life
One of Refborg’s distinctive features is its gourmet shop, which showcases regional foods, wines and design objects. Shelves are lined with Danish delicacies and tasteful home décor that mirror the style of the hotel and restaurant, making it a pleasant place to browse even if you are not shopping for big-ticket items. Behind the scenes, the hotel also functions as a small conference and event center. Refurbished meeting rooms can host anything from small board sessions to larger gatherings, and the event hall is used for celebrations, corporate dinners and local functions. This dual role keeps the hotel closely connected to Billund’s community and to the LEGO company offices nearby.Gateway to LEGO attractions and Jutland
Refborg’s greatest practical strength is its position. You can walk to LEGO House in a matter of minutes, reach LEGOLAND and Lalandia without needing a car, and still be only a short transfer from Billund Airport. For longer stays, the hotel’s tourist information and local knowledge make it a convenient springboard for day trips to places like Vejle’s fjord landscapes, the Viking heritage of Ribe, the UNESCO stones at Jelling or the cultural attractions of Kolding and Aarhus. After each excursion, you return to a calm, low-rise property with a small garden area and outdoor furniture where you can sit with a drink from the bar. It feels quiet enough for a good night’s sleep but close to everything that brings visitors to Billund in the first place.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
