4 Best Hotels in East Iceland and the Eastfjords, Iceland

Spread across four of the town’s historic buildings, Fosshotel Eastfjords is one of the best lodging options in the region. The beautiful, bright, and modern rooms and spaces maintain a classy look throughout.

This glossy hotel is perfect for Jökulsárlón visitors looking for a luxurious experience that matches their elevated mood after taking in all that icy beauty. The calm, elegantly dressed building is 11 km (7 miles) east of the glacier lagoon, with all the mountain and glacier panoramas you could hope for. Careful attention has been paid to creating an inviting outdoor area with hot pools, a cold plunge, and a sauna.

The stylish Fosshotel Glacier Lagoon stands out like a black fortress from its surroundings. Designer lighting installations hang down from lofty ceilings in the lobby, continuing in the restaurant where the interior is heavy on geometric forms created to replicate the shape of columnar basalt. Rooms are reasonably spacious and modern, and many have large windows offering mountain or ocean views.

Höfn is a popular overnight stop on any Ring Road adventure, and this branch of the Fosshotel chain is a modern, stylish place with epic glacier views. It's located 14 km (9 miles) north of Höfn town, with just quiet nature as your neighbor. There's an on-site restaurant serving up local specialties.
