Scandinavian Business Awards 2024

EU Business News- Scandinavian Business Awards 2024 Best Luxury Spa & Hotel 2024 – Capital Region of Denmark Kurhotel Skodsborg holds a rich history, once owned by King Frederik VII and his wife, Countess Danner. The king bought the country house in 1852 and commissioned the addition of Villa Rex in 1857 so that he could hold councils of state, meetings, and banquets without ever having to leave the picturesque views of Skodsborg. The buildings were then purchased in 1897 by physician Carl Ottosen. Carl had worked for John Harvey Kellogg at the Health Reform Institute and was inspired by his work. Carl opened the Skodsborg Sanitorium in 1898, which soon became renowned for its expertise in the field of physiotherapy. Chr. Augustinus Fabrikker Akts. has owned the hotel since 1992 and operates with a direct focus on maintaining the Nordic traditions that have been present since the building’s inception.
