Henne Mølle Å Badehotel

Henne Mølle Å Badehotel is a Danish seaside hotel (badehotel) located south of Henne Strand in Vestjylland, on the west coast of Jutland. It was designed by the architect Poul Henningsen in 1935 and built in 1936. The idea for the hotel came from Othilia Thorup, a cook who had worked for Otto Mønsted in Copenhagen. During a holiday at Henne Strand she conceived the idea of establishing a seaside hotel there. Her sister Thekla, who worked as a costume lady at Nørrebro Teater, knew Poul Henningsen personally and introduced him to the idea. He saw the opportunity to create a cultural-radical retreat by the North Sea. Together with the sisters he found the plot close to the mouth of the Henne Mølle Å river where it meets the North Sea. The hotel was built at the end of a long gravel road. Architecturally, PH's idea was to let the hotel nestle up the outermost dune so that it almost slid into the landscape. When the hotel was completed in 1936 there was still no electricity, so paradoxically PH could not supply the rooms with the lamps for which he is otherwise so well known. Today, however, both the rooms and the hotel's restaurant are furnished with several PH lamps. Since 1987 the hotel has been owned by the yellow trade union Frie Funktionærer. In the years after the takeover the hotel was modernised and restored with respect for the original atmosphere, and today it functions both as a hotel and a course centre. The hotel markets itself as 'probably Denmark's loveliest seaside hotel' and offers stays including a pampering stay with a five-course gourmet menu, four- and five-day mini-breaks with half board, and week-long stays, alongside a restaurant serving high-level gastronomy and a large selection of carefully chosen wines.

The hotel's own website presents it as 'probably Denmark's loveliest seaside hotel' and offers a range of stays: a pampering stay with a lovely room and a five-course gourmet menu; a four-day mini-break (three nights) with half board in beautiful natural surroundings; a five-day mini-break (four nights) with half board; and a week-long stay (seven days, six nights) with the North Sea and the dunes right outside the door. The website also emphasises the restaurant's high-level gastronomy and a large selection of carefully chosen wines that can be paired with the food.
