Design in the Mývatn Landscape

Fosshotel Mývatn is set beside one of North Iceland’s most remarkable natural landscapes, surrounded by volcanic formations, geothermal activity and the peaceful waters of Lake Mývatn.

The award-winning architecture is designed to sit naturally within the landscape, using larch wood and a grass-covered roof to create a strong connection with the surrounding environment.

Rooms and spacious suites offer views across the lake or surrounding countryside, while the hotel’s restaurant focuses on Nordic cuisine and high-quality ingredients sourced from farmers and fishermen in North Iceland.

With its combination of thoughtful design, excellent location and access to the region’s geological and geothermal highlights, Fosshotel Mývatn is an ideal base for exploring the north.

One of the strongest choices in North Iceland for travellers who appreciate architecture, landscape and a calm, contemporary atmosphere.
