Fosshótel Vatnajökull

The Vatnajökull glacier fills the windows here, which is the point of making the long drive out to Höfn. This contemporary hotel sits on the far edge of the national park, with 66 rooms, modernist furnishings, and a restaurant that leans hard into the langoustines pulled from local waters. The silhouette reads traditional; the interior reads Scandinavian catalogue. Selected by the Michelin Guide, it draws travelers willing to do the math on Iceland's circumference.
