The hotel

The old beach hotel was built in 1911 on rocky ground along one of Bornholm’s most beautiful coastal stretches, between Tejn and Gudhjem.
From the hotel, there is a unique sea view across the Baltic Sea toward Christiansø.

A seaside hotel with a view and a story

On the beautiful northern coast of Bornholm, between Gudhjem and Allinge, lies Stammershalle Badehotel – just 30 metres from the dramatic rocky coastline, overlooking the Baltic Sea and Christiansø.

Since 1911, the hotel has welcomed guests to a unique corner of Bornholm, where nature, the sea and the charm of a traditional Danish seaside hotel create the setting for a memorable stay.

Stammershalle Badehotel is a place to step away from everyday life. Here, historic charm meets modern comfort, with gastronomy, personal hospitality and the surrounding nature just outside your door.

A History Through Generations

The history of Stammershalle Badehotel dates back more than 100 years. The hotel was originally built in 1911 by a German businessman as a summer residence, with the ambition of attracting holidaymakers to Bornholm.

During the 1930s, he began flying German guests directly from Berlin to the small airport in Rø. At the hotel, guests could recharge, enjoy the fresh air and take in the magnificent natural surroundings before returning to the bustling city. At the time, the hotel’s name was spelled ‘Stammershalde’ – a spelling that changed to ‘Stammershalle’ in 1948.

Behind the hotel, the businessman established a small zoological garden featuring animals such as lions and bears. The garden was home to more than 70 different animal species. Today, traces of the old zoo can still be found in Troldeskoven, where the remains of the old bear enclosures can still be explored.

Later, the Wang-Hansen family took over the hotel and ran it for many years, creating a lively gathering place filled with good food, dancing, music and countless guests. Stammershalle also became a popular destination for family outings and celebrations among the people of Bornholm.
