About the Castle Hotel
Hvedholm Slotshotel, Faaborg - A Castle Escape
Hvedholm Slotshotel presents a rather compelling proposition for those seeking an escape into Denmark's pastoral charm. Substantially rebuilt in 1880 to its current, imposing appearance, this four-star castle hotel offers an experience that marries historic grandeur with refined contemporary comfort. Its rural setting promises a serene backdrop, making it a destination of quiet distinction.
Location
Positioned in a rural expanse, Hvedholm Slotshotel is less than a ten-minute drive from the charming town of Faaborg and its picturesque harbour. For those drawn to the coast, exploring the natural beauty of Horne Land and Klinten strand offers ample opportunity. Golf enthusiasts will find Faaborg Golf Club a short drive away, while maritime pursuits like kayaking and sailing are readily accessible on the surrounding waters. The nearest airport is Sønderborg, though a 40km drive separates the hotel from the birthplace of Hans Christian Andersen.
Style and Character
This is a property steeped in history, substantially rebuilt in 1880, which now presents an elegant façade. The atmosphere within is one of refined tranquility, a stark contrast to the potential energy of its 'knights' hall.'

The grounds themselves, including a lovely garden and a wonderful park, invite leisurely exploration and contemplation.

Food and Drink
The hotel's à la carte restaurant provides a grand setting, ideal for a special dinner. Guests are encouraged to enjoy light fare here, though booking in advance for evening meals is essential.
