20. EU Business News- European Travel Awards 2024 Jun24020 A trailblazer when it comes to business and leisure travel in the luxury hospitality and wellness sector, Kurhotel Skodsborg enjoys the distinction of being Denmark’s original spa hotel. Initially founded as a sanitorium by Dr Carl Ottosen in 1898, this spa and hotel combination is today comprised of 96 spacious rooms that are laid out across multiple floors of a historic and yet modernised building, all encompassed by beautifully tranquil surroundings and situated just 20 minutes outside of Copenhagen. The authentically Danish and highly personalised approach to wellness favoured by Kurhotel Skodsborg is grounded in the simple but effective Nordic wellness traditions that have guided it to excellence in three different centuries. Balancing this sense of authenticity with state-of-the-art facilities, one of the defining elements of this spa hotel is its 100m2 hydrospa, which provides patrons with an unrivalled selection of 16 different experiences, ranging from massage showers to an outdoor jacuzzi, steam bath, and a 21-metre pool. This area is also home to what is the hotel’s signature spa experience, SaunaGus. In this aroma therapy sauna, guests can experience unrivalled relaxation thanks to the combination of heat and essential oils. From here, guests are invited to take a plunge into the nearby Øresund, which forms the border between Denmark and neighbouring Sweden. Outside of its spa environment, 16 is again the magic number here, as this is the amount of fitness classes offered at the hotel, ranging from yoga and CrossFit to meditation and forest bathing. Since Kurhotel Skodsborg is also a business hotel, it boasts tremendous meeting and events spaces, with a dedicated events team also on hand to provide their knowledge throughout a guest’s stay. All of this is in addition to its 16 private meetings rooms and conference spaces that can hold up to 130 people. Then, after a long day of business, guests can head over to the hotel’s signature restaurant, Brasserie Carl (a homage to Dr Ottosen), which serves exceptional dishes made from local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients. Head Chef Artur Kazariski has meticulously crafted an exemplary menu that is inspired by Nordic food, with this including a wealth of plantheavy courses as well as a variety of meat and seafood dishes, many of which contain produce sourced from the surrounding area, including the Øresund itself, which the restaurant overlooks. The hotel’s food and beverage mastery does not end here, as Artur and his team work closely with hotel’s events team to create tailored packages, with the likes of wine tasting and cocktail making also available. Operating atop a bronze sustainability accreditation and having integrated advanced technology solutions throughout its facilities, Kurhotel Skodsborg has its finger on the pulse when it comes to managing the trends that are currently shaping this versatile industry. Another example of this is the team’s focus on providing bespoke and highly personalised guest stays, setting the highest standards across this suite of services so that the hotel may remain firmly in its frontrunner position in Europe’s bustling spa hotel landscape. By nurturing a culture of helpfulness and open-mindedness across staff, topped off by service with a smile, Kurhotel Skodsborg is striving for perfection when it comes to crafting an extraordinary experience for every guest. It is on the back of this commitment that the hotel is set for immense growth and transformation over the next couple of years, with its plans centred around further developing its services and experiences, all of which contribute towards its primary focus of benefiting patrons’ overall health and wellbeing. The Active Stay and Sleep Retreat programmes are two examples of this, with these focusing on exercise-heavy vacations and optimising sleep respectively. As Manager Matthias Timmermann explains, “we believe that what truly sets us apart is the holistic nature and complexity of our offerings, all seamlessly integrated with a common focus on wellness and exceptional guest experiences.
