Facts:

Stella Maris Hotel de Luxe is located in

Svendborg, one hour and 40 minutes

from Billund Airport.

The hotel comprises 36 rooms.

Facilities include a gourmet

restaurant, lounge and bar, panoramic

terrace, a small private pier, and

modern conference and meeting

facilities.

Suites include double Jacuzzis.

The hotel hosts conferences and

parties of up to 80 people.

Most of the hotel’s rooms offer

enthralling views of the Svendborg

Sund.

The surrounding area comprises many

trails for exploring on either bicycle or

by foot.

However, our chef, Thomas, also spends
a lot of time travelling around the area and
talking to local producers to find quirky,
niche products. For instance, we get the
local speciality, smoked cheese, from
Gundestrup Dairy, and speciality eggs
from a small farm on Tåsinge island.”

Food is not the only area where sustaina-
bility is incorporated into the experience.
Everything at Stella Maris Hotel de Luxe,
from the changing of tablecloths to the
hotel’s own organic coffee blend, has
been developed and selected to create a
more sustainable operation.

Romance and warmth

With its classic, romantic interiors, luxu-
rious suites and beautiful surroundings,
Stella Maris Hotel de Luxe is a popular
site for weddings and romantic getaways.
And whether part of a party of two or 100,
all guests are certain to feel the love.

“We strive to meet everyone with gen-

uine warmth and to give each guest an

individual experience,” Halse says. “We

don’t want people to feel like customers,

but like guests, and that feeling of get-

ting a special and individual treatment is

something which a lot of our guests note

in their feedback.”

Indeed, the high level of service is one of

the things which has helped Stella Maris

Hotel de Luxe win top spot as Denmark’s

best four-star hotel on Trivago. “Our em-

ployees’ dedication and high standards of

professionalism create a unique atmos-

phere here at Stella Maris, and that’s

something which is noted by our guests

from the moment they step into our re-

ception,” Halse stresses.

The hotel also hosts many corporate

events, such as board meetings and con-

ferences.
