Property Details
Staying warm is the key to comfort in the northern reaches of Iceland where the same snow that draws adventurers and nature lovers also makes for some chilly days. Hotel Kea is the perfect place to come home after a frosty excursion on the ski slopes or whale watching in the adjacent fjords.
Hotel Kea is a collection of 104 bedrooms, including one exclusive suite, each boasting amazing views over the fjords or downtown Akureyri. Designed with clean lines and neutral color palettes, the rooms reflect the down-to-earth atmosphere and good taste prevalent throughout Iceland. Every room is a cozy assembly of wooden floors, satellite televisions, plush beds, and en suite private bathrooms. Like the rest of the country, the hotel is heated geothermally, so there’s never any shortage of warmth.
Downstairs, the uber-hip Múlaberg restaurant offers plentiful self-serve breakfast buffets of cheese, bread, fruit, yogurt, muesli, and cooked eggs, as well as a variety of tasty Icelandic craft beers to accompany the lunch and dinner menus. During the summers, meals at Hotel Kea are best taken outside on the swanky outdoor patio, a lovely spot for people watching or simply soaking in the near-24 hours of sunshine.
Hotel Kea is enviously located along Akureyri’s main thoroughfare and shares a sidewalk with some of the city’s most iconic sites, such as the Akureyri Church and the Akureyri’s Botanical Gardens. Outside of the city, the geological marvels of the region beckon. Whether exploring Lake Myvatn, skiing in Mt. Hlidarfjall, or whale watching in Skjálfandi Bay, Hotel Kea is serves as a comfortable and relaxing gateway to adventure.
