Discover the breathtaking natural splendour of Iceland’s north with a stay at the heritage Hotel Kea by Keahotels. Sitting in the heart of Akureyri, known as the ‘Capital of the North’, this classic hotel – first opened in 1944 – is a stone’s throw from the city’s attractions, including the Hof Cultural Centre, Akureyri Art Museum and its iconic church (Akureyrarkirkja), designed by renowned Icelandic architect Guðjón Samúelsson. Adrenaline-fuelled adventurers will find plenty to explore in the surrounding countryside – trot along a fjord on an Icelandic horse, try your luck with whale watching, go for a dip at Hrafnagil Swimming Pool, or take to the slopes at Hlíðarfjall ski resort, just an hour’s drive away.
