Neutral tones, art books and weathered antiques give the place a chic 'Hamptons' vibe.
Rooms are a soothing combo of coconut rug carpets, woollen throws and contemporary
charcoal-hued toilets. The three rooms with shared toilet are cheaper (Dkr850). The hotel
also has a popular restaurant, though its future management and direction was under re-
view on our last visit.
Helenekilde Badehotel

Like Tisvildeleje Strand, the interior of this enchanting beachfront hotel was designed by
the ballet dancer Alexander Kolpin. The cosy communal areas feature beautiful furnish-
ings, art and the odd vintage suitcase-turned-coffee table, while the rooms themselves are
simple yet elegant, with 16 of them looking out over the waves.
Dreamy sea views are also on tap at its casually elegant
restaurant
(lunch Dkr245,
3-course dinner Dkr425; noon-2pm & 6-8.30pm daily, closed Sun Sep-May)
, which serves up a
daily-changing menu of honest, rustic Danish fare. It's always advisable to book a table in
advance, especially from September to May. The hotel is a five-minute walk along a leafy
lane (signposted from the station).
Tisvildeleje Cafeen
INTERNATIONAL
(Hovedgaden 55; mains Dkr129-162; 11am-11pm daily summer, shorter hrs rest of yr)

worldly menu spanning salads and burgers, to curry and fish soup. Happy hour runs from

sic and DJs on Friday and Saturday nights in summer.
Getting There & Around
Getting round the coast from Gilleleje to Tisvildeleje by public transport isn't as simple as
it might be. From Gilleleje, catch bus 360R to Helsinge, then the train to Tisvildeleje
