In the heart of the Danish Riviera

When you visit Hôtel de Ville, you also land in the heart of one of the most beautiful destinations in all of North Zealand.
Not only does Gilleleje have what may be one of the country’s most breathtaking sunsets; the town has also preserved its active and picturesque harbour, where fishing boats sail out along the coast every evening and return the next morning with holds full of langoustines and plaice.

Add to that a unique range of magnificent cycling routes, water sports, art exhibitions, cafés and, not least, hiking trails.

No wonder many a romantic soul has lost their heart to the area. Among them the poet and philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, who wrote in a poem of tribute that the Gilbjerg trail in front of the hotel “will forever be one of my favourite places… here I have seen, so to speak, the emergence of the World”
