Ruth's Hotel is a historic hotel in the Højen district of Skagen in the far north of Jutland, Denmark. Named after its founders, Emma and Hans Christian Ruth, who opened it as Badepensionat Vesterhus in 1904, the establishment has now gained a reputation not only for comfort but for its French restaurant run by Michel Michaud, said to be Skagen's best. Ruth's Hotel also contains a wellness center. ^ Porter, Prince & Norum 2011, p. 201. ^ Bain, Bonetto & Stone 2012, p. 493.
