Dragør Badehotel

Dragør Badehotel is a historic seaside hotel (badehotel) located in Dragør on the island of Amager, just south of Copenhagen, Denmark. According to its official website, the hotel was built in 1907, when the old railway line to the small fishing village of Dragør was established. The railway has long since closed, but the hotel still stands in its beautiful old style, having been carefully restored so that it has not lost its original character. It is a three-star hotel situated near the picturesque old fishing town and the scenic beach meadows, with a fine view over the Øresund strait, the Øresund Bridge, Køge Bay and the old Dragør Fort from 1910. The hotel is operated under the name Dragør Badehotel Driftsselskab and markets itself as a Copenhagen Airport hotel in Dragør. Its restaurant offers what the website describes as genuine seaside-hotel atmosphere, with guests able to take coffee and breakfast while watching ships sail past and the Storstrøm Bridge in the background. Guest reviews quoted on the site highlight the view, the quiet setting, value for money, romantic atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff. Danish Wikipedia notes that the hotel, formerly known as Færgegaarden, is located at Prins Knuds Dæmning, the causeway leading out to Dragør Fort, and that it was inaugurated in 1908. The same source records that the Rolling Stones stayed at the hotel as guests in 1966. The hotel thus combines a long local history with a continuing role as a leisure and transit accommodation option for visitors to the Dragør area and travellers using nearby Copenhagen Airport.
