Hotel Hesselet
Beach hotel between the forest and the sea
Hotel Hesselet is located in one of the most beautiful places on Funen. Right where the forest meets the sea, and where you can see the bridge that connects Zealand with Funen. Hesselet is located in Nyborg, which back in the Middle Ages was the place where the king met with the most important people in the kingdom. Today, the hotel is a place where all people meet, and where hospitality becomes homeliness.
The hotel is named after the forest it is located in, and Hesselet means where the small hazel trees grow. We are proud to be one of Denmark's most beloved nature hotels, and we strive to give all our guests an experience beyond the usual, whether they stay, eat or attend a conference at the hotel.
We do this by following our three extra senses: sense of quality, sense of place and sense of history.
We use our sense of quality when selecting everything from the ingredients in the restaurant to the furniture in the rooms and the duvets that can give our guests the best sleep. We also use it to enhance their experience of being in a place where there is love for detail and for the nature that surrounds us.
Because just as we host our guests, you could also say that nature hosts us. So when we say that we have a sense of place, it means that we prefer local ingredients, preferably in season. We follow the seasons and make it an experience for our guests to swim - and winter swim.
But we also have a sense of history and cherish the fact that families for generations have had a tradition of celebrating christenings, confirmations, weddings and even crown jewel weddings at the hotel. So even though we have promised each other that we will strive to measure ourselves against the very best, we do so without forgetting who we are and what our history is.
We are Funen, Danish and international. In that order.
And we are a breathing hole and meeting place right where the little hazel trees grow.

Reviews
We had a family get-together at Hotel Hesselet at the end of March 2023, where we had an overnight stay, a 4-course gourmet dinner and breakfast before check-out. Some of our guests had dogs with them, and in this connection the hotel had provided a bowl and dog food. Another wish was an allergy-free room, which was also fulfilled in the best possible way.

We were kindly welcomed by the receptionist Cecilie Theil Nielsen, who immediately assigned a parking space for our bikes👍 Super sweet service and service beyond the usual. We made extensive use of the beach and the jetty. We also enjoyed the beautiful spa area. Three lovely days

Celebrated my 70th birthday at Hotel Hesselet with a stay and gourmet dinner for the whole family including small grandchildren. Excellent dinner, skilled staff and top-notch service. There is no better setting and the view from the hotel to the Great Belt is top-notch.

It was such a great and wonderful experience to celebrate my 60th birthday (which finally came true after almost 2 years of various corona cancellations) with my immediate family at Gourmetophold. Even the dog felt welcome with his own dog basket in the room. It was a fantastic food and wine experience in the restaurant.

The food and service are top notch - so are the prices when you go to the restaurant. However, we have also held a larger party there (confirmation), and here we had to realize that Hesselet can easily be included. Everything just worked out.

My wife and I had booked a 2 day stay with massage and gourmet dinner. I have to say I'm not normally a fish person, but the red sole and scallops that were served must have been sprinkled with magic dust🧐 they tasted amazing🤩
