Visit one of Denmark's most beautiful and largest country inns - only 10 km from the city of Aarhus.
At Hotel Årslev Kro you feel the feeling of being out in the countryside while being very close to Aarhus. The inn is surrounded by nature and fields as far as the eye can see, like a small oasis in the middle of Jutland's largest hub. Which gives you the opportunity to live the quiet life in the countryside, without compromising on culture, the city and experiences. Therefore, we are also an obvious place for you on the go and are especially popular with couples.
We offer inside Hotel Årslev Kro for a homely and cozy stay. You are led up the cobblestones to our conservation-worthy main building in half-timbered style and genuine thatched roof. Inside you are greeted by beamed ceilings and unique historical details combined with modern elements. Whether you are looking for a relaxing hotel night, a romantic weekend stay, or a culturally marked experience or party in the middle of our rural time zone, we look forward to welcoming you at Hotel Årslev Kro.
A royal privileged inn full of exciting stories
The inn's history stretches back to 1825, when Christopher Sørensen founded what was then called Aarslev Krogaard. Back then, the inn was actually a farm, which was located on the opposite side of the road. In the late 1950s, however, the farm was moved to its current location when Silkeborgvej was established.
Over time, the inn has had several nicknames, owners - including gold diggers from America - and today carries on tales of crazy stories about cunning innkeepers!
In 1910, the inn Kongelig was privileged as one of the last in Denmark. This meant that the inn had the task of housing travelers and was also permitted to burn brandy, brew beer and bake bread for other than own consumption.
