A Legacy of Hospitality – Since 1960
The King Frederik Inn has been a cherished part of Solvang’s history for over 60 years. Built in 1960 by Daryl Nielsen, the hotel was born from his vision to welcome the growing number of travelers discovering Solvang’s Danish charm.
Inspired by the town’s roots, the Inn was named after King Frederik IX of Denmark, who reigned at the time. The Nielsen family, proud Solvang residents with deep Danish ties, also contributed to the community in meaningful ways—most famously by donating the Caillon Bell in Solvang’s iconic clock tower, which still chimes daily.
Today, the Inn is still family-run, with Nick Nielsen, Daryl’s grandson, carrying forward the tradition of warm hospitality. Guests who stay here become part of a story that spans generations.
