About the Hotel
Hotel Akureyri occupies a prime position on Hafnarstræti, the main street of Iceland's northern capital, where the Eyjafjörður fjord stretches south in dramatic views from the upper floors. The hotel is steps from Akureyri's vibrant café scene, the iconic Akureyrarkirkja church designed by Guðjón Samúelsson, and the world's northernmost botanical garden. A full restaurant, bar, and concierge make it a natural base for exploring the city's cultural heart at the Hof Cultural Centre.
From here, the region's greatest attractions lie within easy reach: whale-watching tours on Eyjafjörður, skiing at the Hlíðarfjall resort, and the thundering waterfall of Goðafoss are all under an hour's drive. Lake Mývatn's volcanic landscapes, lava pillars, and hot springs make for an unforgettable full-day excursion. With ski storage, tour assistance, and a rooftop terrace, Hotel Akureyri suits both winter adventurers and summer explorers alike.
