Come to the Hjerting to treat yourself and the one you love to a relaxing weekend break on Denmark’s North Sea coast. The historic hotel in Esbjerg is located very close to the beaches on Ho Bay and is just 9 km/5.6 miles from the colourful city centre. After welcoming guests for more than 90 years, the Hjerting has been renovated to offer light, spacious rooms with modern amenities. Its Restaurant Strandpavillionen is considered one of the premier dining rooms in the county of Ribe, with international dishes, a considerable wine list, and panoramic views of Ho Bugt (Ho Bay). The Ship-Inn is a English-style pub and café where drinks and inexpensive local dishes are served. The hotel can arrange for guests to enjoy massages and spa treatments from Dolce Vita Spa & Wellness. The Hjerting is just off the Strandpromenaden, the promenade along the beaches north of Esbjerg, called the capital of southwest Jutland. Visitors will want to head into the city centre to experience the Esbjerg nightlife and visitor attractions. A 10 minute drive along the coast takes you to the Fiskeri- og Søfartsmuseet (Fisheries and Maritime Museum). Opposite is the huge Men at Sea monument (Mennesket ved Havet). From the monument it’s 3.9 km/2.4 miles farther south to Esbjerg Harbour, where ferries leave for Norby on Fanø Island.
