It’s no secret by now that Iceland is one of the world’s greatest destinations. First-time visitors drive jaws agape around the ring road, marveling at the primal landscapes being molded in front of their eyes, ancient to us but younger than most other countries on earth. Repeat visitors delve into the hidden corners of the country, immersing themselves in the small towns that cling to precarious coastlines, undertaking epic multi-day treks, and discovering that every fjord, valley, and mountain heath holds something wondrous.

What is universal for everyone visiting this far-flung island in the North Atlantic is the feeling of awe that journeys through the country bring about. With such drama and adventure on the outside, the hotels sprinkled across the country are suitably relaxed and luxurious, offering peaceful refuges from the elements. From cushy country lodges to sophisticated Scandinavian hideaways, these are the best hotels in Iceland.

How we choose the best hotels in Iceland

Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveler journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination. We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location, and warm service—as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve.
