Every one of the 124 rooms at this four-star Tórshavn hotel hangs an original work by celebrated Faroese artist Edward Fuglø, which sets the tone neatly. Rooms range from compact eco-doubles to suites with bathtubs and harbor views, and the main restaurant pulls from local producers for a Nordic set menu paired with wines from the in-house cellar. Saunas and hot tubs are on hand for when the Atlantic wind makes its feelings known.

Perched on a hillside above Tórshavn, this hotel looks out over the capital, Nólsoy island, and the fjord in a way that makes you feel the Faroes are performing for you. Rooms run from compact doubles to family-sized Annex spaces, all concrete and natural materials, spare in a way that suits the treeless landscape outside. Ruts, the evening restaurant, cooks with produce from the islands' farms and waters, and the Ress Spa offers heated pools and saunas.

The names of 21 Danish Commodores still hang in the reception of this boutique hotel on Tórshavn's waterfront, which spent decades as their official residence before reopening as the Faroe Islands' only shoreside hotel of its kind. Rooms run from Standard to a Commodore Suite, all borrowing their palette from the fjord just outside. The in-house coffeehouse runs its own pâtisserie, and the historic fort Skansin is a short walk away.
