That’s not a secret yet Iceland It is one of the greatest destinations in the world. First-time visitors drive jaws agape around the Ring Road, marveling at the primordial landscapes patterned before their eyes, ancient to us but younger than any other country on earth.

What is universal to all who visit this remote island in the North Atlantic is the sense of awe that a trip to the country brings. With such drama and adventure on the outside, the hotels scattered across the country are suitably relaxing and luxurious, on offer. Peaceful Refugees from the elements. From charming country lodges to sophisticated Scandinavian hideaways, these are the best hotels in Iceland.
How we choose the best hotels in Iceland
Each hotel on this list has been independently selected by our editors and written by A Condé Nast Traveler A journalist who knows the destination and is staying in that house. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutiques and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of the 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.
