100 ICELAND REVIEW
S P E C I A L P R O M O T I O NVESTNORDEN
Sigló Hótel is a new low-rise hotel, built in traditional Ice-
landic timber house style, situated right on the quayside in
picturesque Siglufjörður.
DISCERNING CHOICE
The front of the hotel enjoys views of the wide, mountainous
North Iceland landscape; while the back looks out over the
bobbing boats in the town’s small but busy harbor, Siglufjörður
fjord, and the many mountains beyond. The windows overlook-
ing the town are no less fortunate, as Siglufjörður is a well-main-
tained, old-fashioned and architecturally-varied town.
Sigló Hótel offers classic rooms, deluxe rooms, junior suites
and full suites. Regardless of your choice, all offer uncluttered
modern Nordic simplicity, mixed with a cozy classic feel, which
is unmistakably Icelandic.
All rooms feature high-quality bedding, HDTV, balconies or
window seats and complimentary toiletries. Suites also boast
things like separate living rooms, state-of-the-art coffee ma-
chines and (naturally) decadent furnishings.
NORTHERN SOUL
It might seem unlikely, but there exists a renowned, luxurious and iconic hotel in
Iceland, surrounded by urban amenities and activities—which is also peaceful, quiet,
casual and set in the stunning countryside. It’s called Sigló Hótel.
VARIED DIET
Uniquely for a hotel of its size, Sigló Hótel offers four distinct
dining options. It manages this by remaining a consistent and
popular choice with locals and tourists alike—wherever they lay
their heads to sleep.
From the simple café and bar at the hotel foyer, where you
can enjoy a light and simple menu by the open fire and the su-
perb views; to the sumptuous Sunna restaurant, where guests
can watch as the catch of the day is transferred straight from
boat to kitchen; there’s something for any mood.
A mere stone’s throw from the main building, Sigló Hótel
also runs the popular Hannes Boy restaurant, catering specially
to groups, with its relaxed smart-casual atmosphere and hearty
menu, and Kaffi Rauðka, where you can enjoy a tasty summer-
time bite or drink in a vibrant atmosphere.
