Top 5 Recommended hotels in Gentofte, Denmark
Gentofte is an upscale suburb of Kopenhagen but the hotel prices are somewhat lower than in the heart of Kopenhagen. Nevertheless they are not cheap as Danish costs are generally higher than in some other countries and certainly higher than in the United States. The top 5 recommended hotels in Gentofte are:
Gentofte Hotel
The Gentofte is a charming little place that is very clean and the rooms are a good size. They are large enough to contain a big chair and a desk as well as the bed. The hotel also provides free wifi. The food is not as good as in some other places but guests have praised the breakfast (not included in the price of the room).

Hellerup Parkhotel
The Hellerup is in the middle of Gentofte. This makes it quite convenient and of course it is near Kopenhagen which makes it even more convenient. However the rooms are not large and that is a bit of an understatement. In one review, the guest reports having to put the mattress on the floor as the bed itself was too cramped in an alcove of the room. There is free wifi and also free internet terminals on each floor.

Skovshoved
While not the cheapest of the hotels in the area, this is a seaside (one block from the beach) hotel that is only 15 minutes by bus to the center of Kopenhagen. The staff is gracious and welcoming. The place has a historic feel while being quite modern at the same time. The rooms have little extras such as sweet and Molten Brown toiletries. The food is excellent.

Schæffergården
This hotel is located in an 18th century hunting lodge. The rooms all overlook a park and are well equipped with a work desk and a tea/coffee maker along with the standard cable TV. The location is lovely and a vacation in itself. Even though it is in the suburbs, it is only 8 km from the center of Kopenhagen and very close to the Jægersborg Dyrehave Park where you can canoe and go horseback riding.
Bernstorff Palace
The hotel is actually an 18th-century palace. It was the summer residence of Christian IX of Denmark until 1906 and a lot of the old majesty of the place still lingers. For instance, there is a rose garden and an orangery. As well as being historic and beautiful, Bernstorff Palace is convenient. You can walk to Gentofte Station in less than 20 minutes and the Copenhagen Central Station is a mere eight stops away.
