In our often hectic everyday lives, there's little better than finding places where you can unwind and enjoy the beauty of nature. Ny Hattenæs, a historic hotel and restaurant near Silkeborg, offers exactly that – an oasis of calm amid Denmark's breathtaking countryside.
Ny Hattenæs: a journey through time
The history of Ny Hattenæs goes back more than 125 years and is as rich as the surrounding nature. In 1896, it opened its doors as a summer guesthouse and welcomed its first guests.
Even then, its closeness to nature was what drew people from far and wide. In 1900, Ny Hattenæs was converted into a hotel and restaurant, and it has since undergone numerous renovations and changes that have made it the inviting place it is today.
In 2020, siblings Gitte Juhl Capel, Rikke Juhl Jensen and Klaus Juhl Pedersen took over the historic property. The three run the successful family business Society of Lifestyle, which stands for the core values of honesty, passion and innovation.
A look inside: comfort and quality
The 14 beautifully renovated double rooms at Ny Hattenæs offer a breathtaking view of the calm lake and the neighbouring forest.
They are tastefully furnished with pieces including furniture and decorations from House Doctor, a brand dedicated to creating an elegant, personal style. The Nordic designs fit seamlessly into the Scandinavian design tradition and create a stylish atmosphere in the historic building.
To make guests feel especially cosy in the bedrooms, the hotel chose high-quality products from byNORD, a brand that brings nature indoors – a recipe for restful nights.
At Ny Hattenæs, everything revolves around well-being. The Meraki skincare products in every bathroom are made from gentle, nourishing, carefully selected ingredients. Designed and developed in Denmark, they are inspired by Scandinavian aesthetics.
The hotel restaurant offers guests a great choice of food and drink in a distinctive setting. It works in partnership with Nicolas Vahé, who presents guests with first-class delicacies.
He strives to break new ground and surprise his customers' palates with unconventional flavour combinations. His products promise an experience beyond the ordinary – through the choice of ingredients, the presentation or the taste itself.
Nature as a neighbour: a place to relax
Alongside comfortable rooms and high-quality products, the hotel offers picturesque surroundings shaped by remarkable nature. Society of Lifestyle's vision is to make Ny Hattenæs once again a place where people meet, create memories and, above all, appreciate the beauty of nature.
Sheltered by the forest and with an enchanting view of Lake Brassø, the hotel invites you to enjoy the peace of nature. The surroundings are made for escaping the rush of everyday life.
Bringing tradition and modernity together
Hotel Ny Hattenæs brings tradition and modern Danish design together in perfect harmony. With their passion for creativity and their belief in the joy that beautiful interiors can bring, Society of Lifestyle has made it their mission to make Ny Hattenæs an appealing destination for overnight stays and culinary experiences once again.
The history of the place is preserved in the original buildings and the surrounding nature, while the hotel and restaurant offer contemporary comfort and Scandinavian flair. A true feel-good retreat.
