Hotel Smyrlabjörg is a working farm where six generations of the same family have lived since 1850. As is typical for many buildings in Iceland, it’s not the outside, but the inside that really counts─ spacious rooms with comfortable beds, clean and fresh linens, friendly staff, coffee, tea and hot chocolate to be enjoyed in the common areas and a large, hot breakfast buffet that is served every morning.
The restaurant at Hótel Smyrlabjörg focuses on fresh local ingredients and everything is homemade as much as possible.
Hotel Smyrlabjörg is located 34 km east of Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and 45 km from the town of Höfn í Hornafjörður. In winter there are local adventure companies that offer ice cave exploring or snowmobile tours on the glacier and there are many possibilities for doing a spot of hiking near the hotel both in summer and winter.
