We have dedicated our hotel to the Icelandic horse - our most useful servant for centuries. Before Iceland had bridges and roads, the country was difficult to cross, and the horse played a big part in making life possible.
On the walls of Hotel Eldhestar there are old photos and texts telling the history and reminding us about the importance of the Icelandic horse through the ages. You can also experience that on Eldhestar's longer riding tours - in the same way as the Icelanders have done for thousands of years.

At Hotel Eldhestar you can expect to get an unrequested wake-up call from a golden plover or other birds in the area. Actually, the unrequested wake-up call is part of our policy. Eldhestar's goal is to show visitors to Iceland its unique wilderness. Therefore, it was a natural step for us to develop an environmental policy. It is important for us to keep the country as clean as it has always been.
When designing the hotel, we drew inspiration from the colors and materials in Icelandic nature as well as from Icelandic culture. We wanted to let genuine craftmanship and old tradition inspire the interior, in a house built with modern ecological technology. The goal was to create a warm and cosy atmosphere.

Around the hotel are fields, meadows and just Icelandic nature. We can enjoy its unique silence. The windows are big and increase the feeling that you are close to nature, also when you are inside.
