Hotel Húsafell BORGARBYGGÐ, ICELAND
Set in the Borgarförður Valley, surrounded by volcanic mountains, lava fields, glacial streams and one of Iceland’s last birch forests, Hotel Húsafell offers a blend of nature, art and sustainable luxury. Owned by the Bergthórsson family, the hotel is rooted in Icelandic tradition while embracing modern comfort and eco-conscious living. It’s committed to sustainability and generates hydroelectric power, supplies abundant cold water and grows produce in its on-site greenhouse. The hotel’s 48 bright rooms feature heated floors
and portraits by artist Páll Guðmundsson. Every detail has been chosen to reflect the area’s natural beauty and creative spirit. Húsafell Restaurant, led by head chef Ingólfur
Piffl and restaurant manager Gabriela Molnár, is a highlight of Icelandic dining. Ingólfur is a man whose passport is as worn as his whetstone. After honing his craft in some of the world’s most demanding kitchens, he brings a culinary style shaped by global influences — a quiet mastery where every plate carries the imprint of his travels. The menu celebrates Nordic and Icelandic cuisine
with Asian influences, using foraged wild herbs, mushrooms, seaweed and seasonal plants to create dishes bursting with flavour. Cocktails follow the same philosophy of creativity and authenticity Beyond dining, Húsafell offers a wealth of
natural experiences. Guests can hike the area’s endlesss scenic trails, cycle through lava fields, explore nearby glaciers and visit the Húsafell Canyon Baths — geothermal pools set in untouched wilderness. Close by are Hraunfossar waterfall and the Víðgelmir Lava Cave, open for guided tours. For golfers, the eco-certified nine-hole course
winds through lava and birch forest, while the Lindin geothermal pool complex provides hot tubs, saunas and steam baths. Húsafell is also one of the best places in
Iceland to witness the Northern Lights, thanks to minimal light pollution and wide open skies from September to March. At Hotel Húsafell, food, art, nature and wellness
come together to offer guests an unforgettable and immersive Icelandic experience, bringing guests closer to the area’s untouched nature.
