Hotel Hofn

Höfn

A boutique-style hotel in the fishing village with glacier views and access to Vatnajökull sights.

Höfn sits on a spit of land with the Vatnajökull ice cap filling the horizon, a fishing town known for langoustine and as the jumping-off point for glacier walks and boat trips on the lagoon at Jökulsárlón, an hour away.

Where to stay

Hotel Höfn, in the town, is described as boutique in style with glacier views. Vatnajökull Fosshotel sits in the countryside a few minutes outside, with large windows facing the ice cap. Guesthouses and self-catering apartments fill out the rest.

Good to know

Options are limited and the town is busy in summer, so book early. Try the langoustine in a harborfront restaurant. Ice caves are accessible in winter with a guide, while the northern lights show on clear nights from autumn to spring.
