Within walking distance of the harbour, this whale-themed hotel has 110 rooms for whale enthusiasts to get comfortable before or after a day on the water. Found in Europe’s whale watching capital of Husavik, the boats depart from a harbour which sits only 250m away.
The hotel’s tour desk is happy to help book different excursions and give suggestions about what to do while in the area. If cetaceans aren’t what have drawn you to Iceland’s north, other attractions include Lake Myvatn, whose volcanic terrain is a paradise for both hiking and bird-enthusiasts, as well as Dettifoss waterfall, which is only one hour away.
Drinks can be enjoyed in the aptly named Moby Dick bar, which really gets behind its theme with sculptured whale stools, rocking chairs and tables. The hotel has an in-house restaurant as well, which serves fine cuisine in a comfortable atmosphere.
