Hotel Ranga

Channeling a luxe log-cabin style, 52 artful rooms stretch out along the dramatic southern region of Iceland in this luxurious countryside hotel. Quirky appointments, including a 10-foot tall polar bear, and suites themed around the seven continents offer guests a delightful aesthetic. Three outdoor hot tubs can be found along the riverside, overlooking the vast, mountainous landscape.

Designed by Fridrik Pallson, Hotel Ranga has built up a reputation as being one of Iceland’s best hotels for a spectacular view. Overlooking panoramic landscapes including a river and the ever-prominent mountain range, rooms are a serene return to nature, tastefully appointed with a mix of traditional and eclectic decorations: murals by local artists, stained glass windows, and wood-panelled walls.

In addition to offering a wide selection of rooms, Hotel Ranga is dedicated to facilitating their guest’s experience of Iceland’s wild, unhinged side by offering off-site excursions to the highlands, volcanoes, black sand beaches, remote fishing villages, breathtaking waterfalls, and more.

Coupling luxury with a sharp sense of adventure, an on-site observatory makes for a perfect star-gazing opportunity, or the chance to watch the nightly northern lights spectacular dance above warmly-lit rooms.

Remote and secluded, yet also perfectly situated among the Iceland’s top natural wonders, Hotel Ranga is an unparalleled choice for those seeking a relaxing, rural getaway and a warm, homey atmosphere.
