BEST WESTERN Hotel Herman Bang is the former Hoffmann Hotel, founded in 1882. In 1999 the hotel changed name to BEST WESTERN Hotel Herman Bang. The author Herman Bang used to live in Frederikshavn and he was a contemporary provocateur. He lived a bohemian life and was constantly short of money. It is not known with certainty if Herman Bang stayed at the hotel, but on several occasions he visited Gustav Wied, who stayed at the hotel with his family several times.
""Lars Dannervig wondered for years how he could solve the problem with the old heavy key pendant, which guests was handed to the rooms." Certainly they were big and beautiful, but it gave extra work at the Front Desk when guests had forgotten something in their room. Through contact with a consultant from Hoist Group he became aware that Hoist Group was able to deliver a relatively new key system with chip. So he got a great offer, and from the day of installation it has worked perfectly. After the initial phase the wireless system, RFID, emerged as both user-friendly and highly reliable to the delight of guests and receptionists. An alarm even starts if the room door is not closed properly! ""Lars Dannervig
