A hotel, restaurant and cultural centre set in beautiful, scenic surroundings in Varde. Established in 1899.
From the intimate Minibystuen to the large cultural centre Polyfonen – we have the facilities for both small parties and large conferences.
Experience the cosy and historic atmosphere in the Minibystuen. The large window section with double doors facing east bathes the room in the most beautiful natural light. The Minibystuen is ideal for smaller gatherings and an informal, long-table atmosphere. The name refers to Arnbjergparken’s main attraction, Varde Miniby, and the view of the historic Minimurer workshop. The walls are adorned with changing exhibitions of models from Varde Miniby. Room dimensions: 3.5 × 11 metres.

The adjoining veranda has its own exit onto the terrace and Arnbjerg Park — ideal for breaks, group work and lunch. Room dimensions: 9 × 15 metres.

Polyfonen is ideal for large events and conferences — both its capacity and space are top-notch. It features all the modern technology required for a concert or conference. There is a large built-in stage at one end of the hall, the option to divide the space with a folding wall, and a bar both in the hall and in the adjoining foyer. Built in 1914, it was Jutland’s largest hall at the time. Today it stands beautifully restored, with its vaulted ceilings and exposed rafters preserved. Hall dimensions: 17 × 25 metres.

— Welcome
Since we took over Arnbjerg Pavillonen and completely renovated the building in spring 2021, we have been working to create a place where history meets West Jutland gastronomy and warm hospitality. We hope you’ll experience the same when you visit us — whether it’s for dinner, a stay or the most important day of your life.

Arnbjerg Pavillonen is a historic hotel and function venue in the heart of Arnbjerg Park in Varde. Since 1899, we have been welcoming guests with a combination of Nordic gastronomy, cosy rooms and the perfect setting for those very special days. We are just 25 minutes from Esbjerg and 40 minutes from Billund Airport — centrally located in West Jutland with the entire Wadden Sea, the North Sea and Legoland all within a half-hour’s drive.
Our hotel offers 6 different room types — from practical single rooms to premium suites with terraces. All rooms feature views of the listed Arnbjergpark, panoramic windows, free Wi-Fi and breakfast at Restaurant GRO included. We have disabled access via a lift and free parking in front of the building.
Our Restaurant GRO serves lunch (11:00–15:00) and dinner (17:00–21:00) every day of the week. Head chef Casper Rosendahl works closely with West Jutland producers such as Enghave Farm, Kathrinelund and Toftegaard to create seasonal menus that combine flavour, quality and history. Book a table directly online or call 75 21 11 00.
We offer five unique venues to choose from — ranging from the intimate Minibystuen (20–40 guests) to the spacious Polyfonen (up to 500 guests). We specialise in weddings, confirmations, corporate events, anniversaries, memorial services and Christmas parties. The Pavilion — our iconic main venue dating from 1899 — seats 120 guests for a sit-down dinner.
For business guests, we offer comprehensive conference facilities with AV equipment, on-site accommodation and the option of group dinners. We cater to companies throughout West Jutland — Varde, Esbjerg, Bramming, Tarm and Ølgod — and are easily accessible from the E20 motorway.
