The Marienlyst hotel in Helsingør

I can see Hotel Casino Marienlyst on the Danish side of Öresund from my living room every day (except on very foggy days). A couple of days ago I took the ferry to Helsingør in order to have a closer look:

Immediately to the north of the hotel there are many beautiful private villas.
