The Best Hotels Near Melsted Badehotel, by the Record

A chalk-white functionalist hotel on the Baltic coast of Bornholm, Melsted Badehotel has 21 individually decorated rooms that wear their 1930s badehotel style without apology. An 18,000-square-meter beach meadow runs down to a private bathing jetty, and the kitchen leans hard into Bornholm's seasonal larder and daily market haul. The cliff path to Gudhjem harbor is just over a kilometer, which is a very reasonable walk back from dinner.

Every room faces the Baltic, a design decision someone made a very long time ago that no subsequent renovation has dared to undo. Stammershalle Badehotel is an old-school Danish seaside hotel, cozy and Nordic in character without tipping into the minimalist cliché. The 36 rooms keep their original bones and proportions, the restaurant pulls from French, German, and Asian traditions, and a new spa with a heated saltwater pool rounds things out nicely.

A 24-room boutique hotel in a beautifully renovated old seaside house on Bornholm, a Danish island in the Baltic that takes some effort to reach, which is rather the point. The rooms are quiet and understated, dressed with contemporary Danish design without trying too hard about it. Breakfast is included and taken seriously. For dinner, the town is a short walk, and the front desk closes at six, so plan accordingly. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
