Hotel Husafell
Location
Husafell, Iceland
Located amid west Iceland’s lava fields, waterfalls and glacier-fed rivers, this contemporary hotel offers a minimalist decor and clean aesthetic with an open lounge that features large windows overlooking the wild nature beyond. A modern fireplace warms the neutral-toned lounge, and works from local artist Pall Guomundsson adorn the walls.
Guest rooms balance comfort and functionality, with a king-size or two twin beds, radiant floor heating, large windows and blackout shades. Additional amenities include a writing desk and chair, flat screen TV, coffee and tea station, and WiFi. En suite bathrooms provide eco-friendly toiletries.
The on-site restaurant’s seasonal menus highlight ingredients sourced from local farms and purveyors, like arctic char and free-range lamb. A cozy bar with sleek wooden finishes and ambient lighting offers a selection of Icelandic craft beers, wines and signature cocktails.
The hotel’s geothermal baths include two heated outdoor pools and two hot tubs, all open year-round. The hotel operates entirely on 100% renewable energy sourced from hydroelectric and geothermal sources. Additional energy efficiencies and the hotel’s commitment to eco-friendly materials have earned it recognition as one of National Geographic’s Unique Lodges of the World.
