What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
After purchasing the decades-old Allinge Badehotel on the southern island of Bornholm last year, tech executive Cathrine Andersen and her partner, Christian Rasmussen, overhauled its bright white rooms…
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The sandy cove of Næs Strand sits one minute away on foot, with Allinge harbor restaurants a short stroll beyond.
The rooms
Low-ceilinged quarters pair understated Nordic simplicity with Baltic Sea views, greeted each morning by door-delivered carafes of fresh coffee.
The sauna
A pine-timber sauna frames the Baltic Sea through panoramic glass, steps from rocky bathing stairs for cold-water plunges.
Bar
Byskriver Baren
Drinks and Bornholm charcuterie boards spill out from the timbered bar counter into the sunlit cobblestone courtyard.
At the table
Mornings begin under dining room skylights with an organic buffet of local Bornholm cheeses, house jams, and smoked fish.
How it began
Dating to 1774, this former town clerk residence once hosted King Frederik VII before becoming a coastal inn.
