Hotel Hamar

Hotel Hamar is a richly furnished hotel on a golf course located in the village of Borgarnes. Travelers to West Iceland, whether coming for business or pleasure, should not overlook its wealth of amenities or its lovely rooms and suites.

Location & Nearby

Hotel Hamar is sheltered from Borgarnes by the ocean and its beautiful surrounding 18-hole golf course. Even so, the center of town is just a three-minute drive or half-hour walk away, and guests can find all the necessary amenities here. Furthermore, Borgarnes is home to the famous Settlement Centre exhibition, a must-visit for all history buffs.

Staying at Hotel Hamar makes the sites of West Iceland much more accessible than those staying in Reykjavik, which is about 50 miles (80 kilometers) south. The fascinating village of Reykholt, the twin waterfalls of Barnafoss and Hraunfossar, and the geothermal wonderland of Deildartunguhver take just 30 minutes, 45 minutes, and an hour respectively.

In addition, the hotel’s excellent location makes it an ideal base from which to explore the magnificent Snaefellsnes Peninsula, nicknamed ‘Iceland in Miniature.’ The furthest point is less than two hours away from the hotel, so all its sites can be toured easily within a day.

Some of the most famous sites in the peninsula include the Snaefellsjokull glacier volcano, Kirkjufell mountain, and Budir black church. Kirkjufell mountain, in particular, is one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland due to its distinctive steeple shape and being featured in the popular TV show Game of Thrones.

Facilities & Amenities

All rooms of Hotel Hamar have rich furnishings, luxurious beddings, lovely views, and a decor that reflects modern Icelandic style. They also feature private bathrooms, Wi-Fi access, and televisions.

The twin, king, and family rooms (with a double bed and sofa bed) are welcoming and affordable, with the King Junior Suite being great for a couple or solo traveler who also wants access to an outdoor area. The King Superior and King Deluxe rooms are the most lavish choices. They are much more spacious and boast access to an outdoor space and hot tub.

Not only does the hotel have its own golf course that all guests can access, but it is home to the beautiful Hamarinn Restaurant, which looks over the stunning fjord of Borgarfjordur and serves a diverse breakfast buffet and dinner. Business travelers will also be grateful for the conference center, which can accommodate up to 40.
