Hotel Húsafell – Book Here
The charming Hotel Húsafellis one of the best hotels for seeing the Northern lights in Iceland. This luxury hotel features outdoor hot tubs and its very own golf course in the unique landscape of Húsafell! Best of all, it’s close to geothermal pools (especially the epic Húsafell Canyon Baths, a unique semi-private geothermal hot spring experience) and hiking trails. But the main draw for Hotel Húsafell for hopeful aurora-spotters is both the frequency of its aurora sightings (about three time...

Northern Light Inn – Book Here
The lovely Northern Light Innin Grindavík near the Blue Lagoon is another popular (and more affordable) option for a Northern lights hotel near Reykjavik. It even comes complete with aurora wake-up calls upon request! This Iceland Northern lights hotel is more understated than the fancy Retreat at the Blue Lagoon, but with similar convenience of location and ease of seeing the lights. Plus, they run a free shuttle bus to the Blue Lagoon, which is awfully convenient — especially since it’s far...

For one, its remote location near the Rangá River provides epically dark skies free of light pollution, perfect for observing the aurora borealis. Hotel Rangá has aurora spotters working through the night and they offer you wake-up calls for when the Northern lights begin dancing overhead. They’ll turn off all the lig...

Aurora Cabins – Book Here
Located close to Höfn near to the Eastfjords region, Aurora Cabinsare a great place to see the Northern lights in the East Iceland area. This property has four private wooden cabins that have been recently renovated so that they are very cozy.

Fosshotel Eastfjords – Book Here
Many travelers in Iceland don’t go further east than Vik, which is a real shame because the Eastfjords region is so beautiful! However, hotels do get fewer and further between in this region, and they tend to be a little more spartan and not as focused on interesting luxury amenities or boutique offerings. That said, Fosshotel Eastfjords stands out as one of the better options for hotels in Eastern Iceland. Located on the Fáskrúðs fjord, this can be a stunning backdrop for the aurora if it gr...

This way, you can enjoy the Northern Lights for the most stunning panoramic views you can enjoy without ever needing t...
Bubble Hotel – Book Here

These glass igloos are quite minimalistic — we’re talking a bed, heating, and that’s about it — but there are amenities on-site to make up for it. There is a service house for all guests to use, with a kitchen, two toilets, and two show...
Sky Sightseeing Iglúhús – Book Here
This unique igloo house is located 20 miles from Akureyri in Northern Iceland, making it a great option to be close to one of the larger Icelandic cities but also far enough away that you won’t experience light pollution from the city.
