In the heart of the spectacular South Iceland nature

Hotel Hengill, opened in the summer of 2008, is a superior hotel at one of Iceland's most dramatic settings, with the UNESCO-listed Thingvellir National Park nearby. The hotel is beautifully located on the slopes of Mt. Hengill, with a great view over Lake Thingvallavatn and the mountains surrounding the lake, just a 30-minutes drive from Reykjavík. The best way to enjoy the view might be while soaking in one of the hotel’s outdoor hot tubs.

The location is filled with the Earth’s power and energy. Hot springs, steam, the northern lights - it’s an area of natural activity and beauty. We’ve placed a special emphasis on the power of these natural wonders, and when you visit Hotel Hengill, you’ll be certain to feel that energy and enjoy the sights that surround you.  

The cuisine emphasis at the hotel is in line with the nature, as trout from Lake Thingvallavatn (some of the best in the country) is often served at the restaurant, along with smoked brown trout and char.
