Luxury Hotels in Iceland

Room With A View in Your Iceland hotel

Iceland’s best hotels are luxurious havens amid surreal landscapes dotted with glaciers, black beaches, and volcanic hot springs. Their Nordic design is distinct and modern, and most Iceland hotels focus on serving local specialities with a gourmet twist. When exploring the country’s sites, expect modern yet minimalist accommodations in secluded countryside locations, always surrounded by incredible natural beauty. Wherever you go, take advantage of the naturally heated pools, hot tubs, and geothermal saunas—they are an ever-present part of life in this land of fire and ice. Here is a small sample of the many accommodations options our Destination Specialists can offer you. 

Skuggi Hotel is a stylish modern hotel centrally located in the capital Reykjavik, on one of the city’s oldest streets. The clean lines and monochrome decor is inspired by the work of the famous Icelandic nature photographer, Ragnar Axelsson. On the hotel’s walls, you’ll find his striking black-and-white photos, which capture the essence of the country. The walls also carry quotes from his book, Fjallaland. The hotel is just a few minutes away from the trendy Laugavegur shopping area and a short walk to the famous Hallgrímskirkja church.

Hotel Vík í Mýrdal is located in the picturesque village of Vik in southern Iceland, close to the black sand beach of Reynisfjara. The family-run hotel, in the heart of a nature reserve, is remote yet modern. Tucked into the verdant Myrdalur Valley, this boutique-style property offers easy access to glaciers and volcanic beaches. Large windows let in natural light and scenic vistas of the surroundings. The rooms offer views of the ocean, columnar basalt sea stacks, or the nearby mountains.

Enjoy the stunning view from your private patio or explore a landscape of thermal greenhouses, volcanic hot springs, fumaroles, and hidden geothermal pools. In the surrounding hills, plumes of steam rise from the ground. Go thermal bathing, hiking, horse riding or golfing. Hearty breakfasts here feature geothermal cooking, Icelandic staples, and organic farm produce. Rejuvenate with unique geothermal bathing experiences at the hotel’s sauna, outdoor pool, and riverside hot tubs. All rooms have a private entrance, giving guests direct access to the outdoor hot tubs. Rekyr restaurant serves, among other specialities, excellent reindeer steaks.
