3 Best Hotels in The Golden Circle, Reykjanes Peninsula and the South Coast (with the Golden Circle)

Experience Nordic style at its best at this surprisingly chic hotel next to the famous Geysir and Strokkur springs. Various Icelandic specialties, like langoustine soup and lamb cured in Icelandic thyme, are served in the large, ornate restaurant. This is a truly upscale experience that is only made better by the distant views of steaming hot pools.

This classic American-style country hotel guarantees luxury on every account: it's secluded, peaceful, only a 15-minute drive from Selfoss, and 20 km (12 miles) from Þingvellir National Park.

Family-run for more than 30 years, this hotel sits in a valley just five minutes from the magnificent Gullfoss. Visitors can take a beautiful walk up the old road to the waterfall in the morning or evening, dodging the crowds.
