We are in
Arnanes Country Hotel is a family-run company, established in May 1993 in our own home, located in Nesjahverfi, a suburb 1,5 km from Arnanes. In August 1993 we bought a part of the farm Arnanes (30 ha of land and 2 houses) and early spring 1994 we moved our home to Arnanes. Our former home then became a guesthouse and was a part of our hotel until October 2014 when we sold it.
1994 we renovated our house in Arnanes, starting with 4 rooms with shared facilities. They are on the first floor with a panoramic view to glaciers and mountains in Vatnajökull National Park. In May 1996 the founder and our father, Ásmundur, started our horse riding tours from Arnanes. After 12 years of managing them our youngest brother started taking care of it, but stopped in 2022, to become a certified Ice Guide.
In June 1997 we built 3 bungalows here in Arnanes, each with 2 rooms with private bath. At the same time we opened our restaurant in Arnanes with seats for 40 people. In 2014 we doubled the size of our restaurant. In 2014 and 2016 we built new houses, each with 6 rooms with private baths and today we have a total of 22 rooms. In 2022 our oldest daughter and her husband took over the hotel, and have been running it since then, and are constantly improving the hotel.
From the start we have wanted our guests to feel at home here in Arnanes, and to be met with a sense of hospitality and friendliness, wanting to visit us again some time in the future.
