Located in remote places around the world, these 57 distinguished properties offer sophisticated travelers intimate experiences with the local culture and natural environment.
When selecting hotels for the collection, National Geographic looks for places where guests can have an unforgettable experience. Stunning architecture and design, incredible views, innovative sustainability practices, and excellent cuisine are just a few of the requirements. The properties must offer also activities to help guests engage with their unique surroundings. As the only property selected in Iceland, Hotel Husafell is proud to have passed this rigorous review process.
Thermal spring water bubbling up through lava landscapes creates much of the energy used by Hotel Húsafell. We’ve built three hydroelectric power plants to capture the power of heat and water generated by nature here, and the hotel derives 100% of its energy from these natural, on-site sources.
