Arnbjerg Pavillonen is a historic hotel and function venue situated in the heart of Arnbjerg Park in Varde. Since 1899, we have been welcoming our guests with a combination of Nordic cuisine, cosy rooms and the perfect setting for those very special occasions. We are just 25 minutes from Esbjerg and 40 minutes from Billund Airport — centrally located in West Jutland, with the Wadden Sea, the North Sea and Legoland all within half an hour’s drive.
Our hotel offers six different room types — from a practical single room to a premium suite with a terrace. All rooms offer views of the listed Arnbjerg Park, 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 hotel.
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 producers in West Jutland, 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 a choice of five unique venues — 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 Pavillon — our iconic main venue dating from 1899 — can accommodate 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 for businesses throughout West Jutland — Varde, Esbjerg, Bramming, Tarm and Ølgod — and are easily accessible from the E20 motorway.
