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.

Hotel Ranga offers luxury and relaxation in Iceland’s countryside. There are 51 luxurious and cosy rooms in this serene setting without external lighting interference to spoil the Northern Lights. It is Iceland’s only member of the “Special Hotels of the World”, and is also a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
