Skáld Hotel Akureyri
A Curio Collection stay in Iceland's northern capital.
Skáld Hotel Akureyri is a Curio Collection by Hilton stay in Iceland's northern capital. It gives you a comfortable, stylish base for exploring a side of Iceland most visitors never see, from thundering waterfalls to whale-filled fjords.
For seeing Iceland beyond Reykjavik, with waterfalls and whales nearby.
Where you’ll be
Akureyri sits at the head of Eyjafjörður, a long fjord in North Iceland, with mountains on every side. Goðafoss waterfall, Lake Mývatn and the whale-watching town of Húsavík are all within easy driving distance, and the Forest Lagoon is just outside town.
The stay
Rooms are contemporary and comfortable, with Icelandic design touches and a calm, Nordic palette. It is a relaxed base to return to after long days on the road.
