Originally built in 1999 on the banks of the Ranga river and as a resort for horse aficionados, the property has since shifted owners and undergone multiple renovations to become a locally designed and environmentally friendly getaway perfect for adventure seekers.
Hotel Ranga’s prime location in south Iceland makes it the perfect hotel choice for those looking to explore the Golden Circle, and for travelers looking to step outside of the capital. You’re an easy drive of some of Iceland’s must-see attractions, like the waterfalls Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss, and Vík’s famous black-sand beaches. Hotel Ranga’s remote location leaves it free of light pollution, and thus a perfect spot to view the Northern Lights.
The property has 52 rooms—including the seven suites—. When it comes to design, the style is certainly not minimal; instead, the property truly embraces the themed style of each suite, packing in authentic and hand-crafted goods from each destination that make you feel like you’ve been transported to another land.
The restaurant onsite may be singular, but it’s all you could want. The menu features Nordic dishes featuring local ingredients. The atmosphere is intimate and upscale, with full length windows at almost every turn. It is surrounded by gorgeous landscapes.
