Hotel Kea

Sophisticated, central, comfortable. Hotel Kea is tucked into the heart of Iceland’s second city, Akureyri, overlooking a fjord and the city’s iconic church. It is a top-notch choice for those wishing to explore Iceland’s northern region, providing high-quality rooms and an included daily breakfast, unparalleled service and an in-house bistro and bar offering the north’s best selection of wines and spirits.

As the only four-star hotel in Akureyri, Hotel Kea lives up to its name, providing guests with a high level of comfort and assistance including a wide range of parquet-floored rooms: warm brown tones contrast cream-coloured high thread counts; fully-stocked coffee stations; subdued lighting—amenities that conjure the clean, no-frills aura of business travel, yet are nevertheless infused with a bit of luxury here at Kea.

A window-walled outdoor dining area runs adjacent to the indoor restaurant and bar, serving not only as a locale for hotel guests but as a meeting point for Akureyri’s residents; its nighttime energy is vibrant, dimly-lit and warm. Breakfast offers a similar welcome with its wide selection of freshly baked breads, cold cuts, and staple Icelandic delicacies including cod liver oil and salmon.

Hotel Kea’s location on North Iceland offers guests access to exhilarating activities; plunge into an adventure along Lake Myvatn, gallop along a rugged fjord on an Icelandic horse, or try your luck at Akureyri’s classic whale watching outing.
