Hotel Glymur

If you're looking for a luxury in the middle of the great Icelandic wilderness and have a passion for all things outdoors then you'll also love Hotel Glymur. From this area of outstanding natural beauty there's bird and whale watching, geysers and glaciers, walking and waterfalls, not forgetting the natural phenomenon, witnessed in the winter, the Northern Lights or aurora borealis. This boutique hotel has a remote and secluded position with spectacular panoramic views of Hvalfjordur, 'the whale fjord'. This is a small intimate hotel has just 22 rooms which are bright and inviting with a spacious duplex design and huge windows for taking in those views. The food in the restaurant is the jewel in the crown of this hotel. The Chefs pride themselves in creating mouth watering original dishes using local suppliers and ingredients, especially the freshly caught seafood.

Further down the mountainside from the main hotel there are 6 villas, each themed in contemporary furnishings making the ideal accommodation for a couple or families. They are furnished to the highest standards and are completely self-contained with a kitchen. Each has stunning views out over their private hot tubs to the fjord and mountains beyond. If you can stay several days and enjoy the comforts after a day exploring the sights or enjoy mountain walks.
