Located in the South-Eastern part of Iceland, right opposite Eldhraun lava fields, Hotel Klaustur opened its doors in 1993. Ever since, its emphasis was to provide a warm welcome to a variety of guests, including celebrity movie directors, photographers, and travelers pursuing the magical views of local nature.
The hotel has acquired the name of its charming village – Kirkjubæjarklaustur, or „Klaustur“ as it is usually referred to by locals, a hometown to the most acclaimed Icelandic artists, Kjarval and Erró. Situated right between the two of Iceland´s famous glaciers, Vatnajökull and Mýrdalsjökull, Klaustur itself is surrounded by natural wonders of the Land of Fire and Ice. Famous Laki Craters formed in one of the world´s largest erruptions in the recorded history are only 50 kilometers South of Kirkjubæjarklaustur, not to mention the whole area is a part of Katla UNESCO Global Geopark.
Presently, Hótel Klaustur is a modern hotel featuring 57 rooms, and KLAUSTUR Restaurant serving international cuisine with Icelandic twist. Modern design and eco-frinedly concept: the hotel operates using hydroelectric power only, its key location on the Ring Road, makes the property a popular place to stay while travelling around Iceland.
