Höfn
A countryside hotel minutes from town with big windows facing the glacier or mountains.
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.
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.
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.
