Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon

Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon

´³Ã¶°ì³Ü±ô²õá°ù±ôó²Ô, Iceland

Ideal for lovers of the great outdoors, this contemporary hotel is located in the remote Icelandic countryside between Skaftafell wilderness area and Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon — and within driving distance of Diamond Beach’s black sands and iceberg formations.

Behind the dark wood-panelled façade, guests are met with 104 sleek and spacious rooms, all of which feature modern Nordic decor, yellow and blue hues, tea and coffee-making facilities, en suite bathrooms, and large windows for views of the lava fields, mountains, or — if you're visiting at the right time of year — the northern lights. Elsewhere, you’ll find an all-day restaurant for regional cuisine with fresh and local ingredients, a stylish bar, and an ocean-facing outdoor terrace for summer drinks.

The hotel also offers a sauna, a northern lights wake-up call service (during winter), and helpful staff who can book sightseeing tours and advise on the nearby natural landscapes to explore.

OUR OPINION:

For those who want to explore some of Iceland’s natural attractions, this contemporary hotel is a stylish choice. We love the spacious rooms, all with large windows, ideal for enjoying the scenery.
