Cape Hotel Husavik

Ideally positioned on Husavik Cape the hotel offers great views of the beautiful town and its harbour. The hotel is just 15 minutes walk from the Whale Watching Centre and Whale Museum at the old historic harbour.

Husavik Cape Hotel is a unique family run hotel that sometimes feels more like a museum. The hotel is a part of the Explorers House building, above Húsavík harbour. The rooms and halls of Húsavík Cape Hotel feature local art, artifacts from famous explorers and expeditions and a library of folklore and adventure books. This is the perfect place to spend 3 to 4 days while exploring the wonders of the Diamond Circle and the Arctic Coast Way of North Iceland.

The Cape Hotel was founded by the Orlyson family, who also own and run a guesthouse in town, and who founded the Exploration Museum in Húsavík. The family has welcomed some of the world’s greatest explorers to Iceland over the last ten years, including 6 of the Apollo astronauts, who trained near Húsavík before their missions to the Moon. The annual Explorers Festival takes place at Cape Hotel.
