Hotel Koldingfjord, Hotel and heritage monument in Kolding, Denmark.
Hotel Koldingfjord is a heritage-listed hotel situated on the north shore of Kolding Fjord in Denmark, surrounded by beech forests with views across the water. The facility provides guest rooms, a restaurant, cafe, fitness center, swimming pool, sauna, and contemporary conference facilities.
The property was constructed in 1911 as the first sanatorium funded by Christmas seal sales before being transformed into a hotel in 1990. This transition followed a period when the building served different purposes after tuberculosis was eradicated in Denmark.
The building blends historical architectural elements with contemporary Danish design choices throughout its guest rooms and shared spaces.
The hotel is located about 5 kilometers from Kolding train station in a forest-rich area that provides quiet and restful surroundings. Its position on the fjord makes it conveniently accessible for visitors wanting to explore the natural setting.
Between 1960 and 1983, the building housed children with disabilities after tuberculosis had been eradicated in Denmark. This lesser-known chapter shows how sanatoriums took on new roles when the disease was no longer prevalent.
