Húsavík Cape Hotel, Husavik

Located just one block from the harbor, Húsavík Cape Hotel is a traditional family-run property with rooms and apartments that focus on the culture of Húsavík. Walk to the Geosea Geothermal Baths in 10 minutes or head to the Whale Museum in the same amount of time before embarking on a whale watching tour. Reach geological attractions like Goðafoss Waterfall or Ásbyrgi Canyon in about 40 minutes by car. You could also stay local to explore this charming town that is Iceland's oldest settlement, dating back to 870 when a Swedish Viking landed there. 

The hotel offers a mix of rooms and apartments, which are suitable for longer stays. They combine a traditional seaside style with modern flourishes and amenities, like bathtubs and blackout curtains. Family rooms with multiple beds or bunkbeds can accommodate up to six people. Some rooms look out onto the building next door, so book a mountain or sea-view option to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Húsavík is the focus here, so head to the library to see artifacts showcasing the town's history. The popular movie Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga put Húsavík on the map in a new way, so check out the hotel's Eurovision exhibit to learn more about the film and the pop music contest. The hotel bar and restaurant, Jaja Ding Dong, was inspired by the movie and features an Italian Eurovision-themed menu that will delight even those who have never watched the film or competition before.
