Hotel Husafell is located in West Iceland, about 90 minutes drive from Reykjavik. Offering 48 stylish and cosy rooms, complete with comfortable beds, en suite bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi, tea and coffee-making facilities, hairdryers, and artwork from Husafell’s acclaimed artist Pall Gudmundsson. Opt for a Deluxe room and you’ll get all the standard facilities, plus additional space, deep bathtubs, double basins, bathrobes, and access to a terrace.
Hotel Husafell provides a retreat after a day of exploring in all directions – from valleys and lava formations to waterfalls, glacier tours in a super jeep, and indulging in relaxation in geothermal pools.
After all of that activity, you can enjoy a traditional Nordic menu in the hotel’s restaurants, accompanied by perfectly matched wines. From light soups and salads, to steak sandwiches and chicken for lunch. Dinner can be five courses, all using local and seasonal ingredients, such as wild game, a range of meats and cheeses, and ‘surf and turf’ beef tenderloin and langoustine, served with pearl onion and Jerusalem artichoke puree. If you have room for dessert, enjoy a white chocolate ganache with ice cream and roasted chocolate.
With a commitment to sustainability, the hotel’s design harmonises with the surrounding environment, creating an eco-friendly and tranquil atmosphere. Húsafell is also one of Iceland’s best spots for watching the Aurora Borealis. The high, snowy domes of nearby Langjökull glacier ensure crisp, cloudless skies which are the perfect weather conditions for the the Northern Lights – and they provide a wake up call so you don’t miss them.
