Hotel Langaholt

Hotel Langaholt is a magnificent hotel in the shadow of Snaefellsjokull Glacier. Any traveller looking for a modern, comfortable base immersed in nature while touring the Snaefellsnes Peninsula will find it ticks all their boxes.

Location & Nearby

Hotel Langaholt is located halfway down the Snaefellsnes Peninsula on its southern shore, about two hours' drive from Reykjavík. This region is the highlight of west Iceland due to the sheer diversity of sites that can be found around every turn, and the hotel is a fantastic base from which to explore them.

The closest attraction is Ytri Tunga beach, a seal-watching hot spot, which can be found five minutes’ drive (or an hour’s walk) to the east; ten minute’s drive west, meanwhile, will take you to the stunning hamlet of Budir, which is also walkable at about 10 km away. The Lýsuhólslaug geothermal pool, open in summer, is just 6 km away. The ‘Arrowhead Mountain’ from Game of Thrones, Kirkjufell, is one of the furthest attractions, but even that can be reached in 40 minutes.

As noted, Hotel Langaholt sits in the shadow of Snaefellsjokull glacier. The best place to experience this is in its surrounding national park of the same name, whose visitor centre is 48 km away, and which also boasts sites like the Londrangar sea stacks and Djupalonssandur beach. Getting to these sites takes around a half-hour.

Hotel Langaholt has 37 rooms with en suite bathrooms, complete with showers and hair dryers, that can either have a double bed or two singles.

Two of the rooms are wheelchair accessible.

The guesthouse is also home to a restaurant and bar that can seat 50 people, plus a 15-seat side room, providing wonderful dishes and a great place to end the day. Open all year, the restaurant serves a breakfast buffet from 08:00 to 10:00 (2,500 ISK per person), lunch from 12:00 to 16:00, including its famous fish soup (2,900 ISK), and a dinner buffet focused on local fish daily from 18:30 to 21:00 (8,700 ISK).
