Storyline
Badehotellet is the story about the guests and staff at a beach hotel by the North Sea sand dunes. At the heart of the story is the lives of three young people, the chambermaid Fie, the merchant's daughter Amanda, and the local fisherman Morten. Their fates are intertwined, and their stories are about emancipating themselves from the plans other people have made on their behalf, the attempts on social ascent, and about losing and finding oneself on the way. The series is inspired by the way of life at the many seaside hotels of the past, and reflects our own time with its mixture of financial crisis, denial, and dreams of happiness. The story takes place in the years 1928-33 where the world is falling apart. The characters will go through tears and laughter in the captivating journey that takes place as times change from optimism to crisis. It's a multi-plot-series that dynamically shifts between upstairs and downstairs, and between seriousness and humour. —Badehotellet

- TriviaThe scenes by the sea were filmed in North Jutland, but one day heavy rain put an end to it all. "We waited for hours because it was raining so hard. When we were told that we weren't going to film that day, all of us women went to Svinkløv Badehotel - as it existed then - and when we came back, we jumped into the waves without any clothes on," says Anne Louise Hassing.

Seaside Hotel is a gift from Denmark to the eyes of the world. The cinematography is outstating, the direction always crisp and yet not hurried and the acting superb. The Series captures a time a place and representative characters over a dozen or so years from about 1928 to 40 and does so with an eye for style and detail that is rarely seen on the small screen. Heck, it's rarely seen in multi-million dollar Hollywood films either.
The cast is uniformly excellent. From the slightly ditzy maid Edith played to perfection by. Ulla. Vegby to Bertha Neumann's austere bridge playing obsessed Mrs. Fjeldso. They're all good. And they're shown at their best thanks to the wonderful writing and well paced story telling that will reel you in and keep you wanting more.
I need to make mention of Cecile Stenspil. She looks like and even more beautiful young Joan Fontain (if that's even possible) and grows with her character over the seven years she graces the screen. But they're all good. Jens Jacob Tychsen .gives his egomaniacal matinee idol role everything he's got and he's one of many. Bodil Jogerson's Mrs. Anderson is filled with grace and wisdom born of pain. She's superb.
Pay particular attention to the skewing of film directors, actors and show business in general for the fun all of it offers. The bigger more thought provoking topics the series addresses are there for reflection and these too fit right in.
Are there perhaps too many subplots? Maybe. But they all tie in. Are there too many comings and goings behind doors that close just in the nick of time? Could be. But everything is handled so well that it all just seems to work. It works like like a well trained staff of maids and kitchen help who keep everything on schedule and everything in its place.
