Stayed at the wing building. Calm, noiseless. Comfy beds with an extra bed for our girl. Clean and well kept. The castle is very interesting with several genres from 16th to 19th century. Breakfast was very good with stunning views from the second storey. The restaurant was competent, a fixed 3 course menu that was well matched with the recommended wines. Lots of sightseeing to be had in the surrounding countryside. A very enjoyable stay, well recommended.

Hotel itself is nice and pretty. But our experience was not that good. We booked a suit on hotel’s own website but only got a double room. Same amount was changed when we checked out and also a charge for extra bed.

I would gladly give this 6 stars, best hotel experience ever. Food was outstanding, service with that perfect balance of presence and privacy, and the atmosphere... Just wow! It felt like (and probably was) like living in an museum, a total and utterly beautiful stay! Thanks to the staff for making our days there so memorable!

Cannot say enough about how absolutely lovely this place is! Gorgeous rooms, fantastic hosts, delicious food. Wish we'd been able to stay longer, but next time we're in the neighborhood will definitely be back!

Dubbelt så många gäster än va de lovat vid bokning. Inte så bra planering av sällskapen i de olika rummen. Dålig uppmärksamhet vid servering av dricka.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
