THE BEST HOTEL IN BORGARNES

Icelandair Hotel Hamar

$$$ | Hamarsvöllur 310, Borgarnes, Iceland

FODOR’S EXPERT REVIEW

With a dining area overlooking the links, this three-star golfers' paradise wows with its unmatched mountain views. Even if the 18-hole golf course is not your cup of tea, then you can head to the veranda and breathe in the scenery or go for a soak in the hot tubs or sauna. The restaurant serves breakfast and dinner all year-round and lunch during the high season. Sixteen of the rooms are deluxe, bungalow-style accommodations with direct access to the sauna and hot tub area.

Pros

  • Northern lights wake-up call
  • Incredible mountain views
  • Eco-friendly ethos

Cons

  • Early-bird golfers may wake you up
  • Hot tubs close at night
  • Breakfast not included
