Hotel Ranga is tucked away in a quiet spot just off the Ring Road, around a two-hour drive from Keflavik International Airport or an hour-and-a-half from Reykjavik. The renowned natural wonders of the South Coast are within striking distance, including Seljalandsfoss waterfall, Skogafoss waterfall and Reynisfjara black sand beach, while the Golden Circle region is also within easy reach, making this a perfect base for day trips.
The rooms and suites are cosy and inviting, featuring exposed wooden walls adorned with hand-painted murals, giving each one a unique sense of character. Complimentary Wi-Fi, tea and coffee, plush bathrobes and slippers and premium bathroom amenities come as standard. Junior Suites are individually themed with original artwork, handmade furniture and woven blankets, along with spacious sitting areas and balconies offering views of the Ranga River. The Master Suites are the largest category, with themes ranging from Africa to Antarctica, generously sized bathtubs, king-size beds, Nespresso coffee machines and balconies facing the Ranga River.
A Northern Lights wake up call service is also available (depending on the time of year), so you needn’t worry about missing the aurora when it makes an appearance.
The Ranga Restaurant serves a plentiful buffet breakfast each morning, with a variety of continental options and cooked dishes which can be made to order. Lunch and dinner are à la carte, with menus showcasing the finest Icelandic ingredients – from fresh Arctic char to succulent reindeer steak – complimented by a selection of fine wines, craft beer and artisan cocktails from the bar.
After each day’s adventures, unwind in one of the inviting lounge areas, head to the games room where you’ll find a pool table and several board games, or enjoy a soothing soak in one of the outdoor geothermal hot tubs.
