Fosshótel Húsavík
About
Situated in the picturesque town of Húsavík, the renowned whale‑watching capital of Europe, Fosshotel Húsavík offers travelers a blend of modern comfort and authentic Icelandic charm. From its contemporary rooms equipped with free Wi‑Fi, mini‑fridge and satellite TV, to its full‑service restaurant and bar that celebrate local seafood and northern ingredients, the hotel delivers a memorable stay for both families and business guests. Húsavík’s harbor, only a short walk from the hotel, is the launching point for year‑round whale‑watching expeditions where visitors can see orcas, humpback and blue whales against the backdrop of the midnight sun. The hotel’s design reflects this maritime narrative with whale‑themed décor and panoramic views of the Skjálfandi Bay. In addition, the property hosts six conference and meeting venues, making it a preferred choice for corporate events across North Iceland. Beyond the waterfront, guests can explore the Húsavík Museum, trace the history of Iceland’s first permanent settlement, and venture to nearby natural wonders such as Dettifoss, the largest waterfall in Europe, and the Ásbyrgi canyon. With its free parking, daily housekeeping on request, and a commitment to sustainability (Green Key certified), Fosshotel Húsavík ensures a comfortable, eco‑friendly experience for all visitors.
