Property info

The Highland Center Hrauneyjar is situated at the edge of the country's most impressive and active volcanic area. It is the last stop before entering the vast and untouched interior of Iceland. The Highland Center aims at offering you a "complete" Highland experience from the moment you arrive in Iceland's interior, with two properties to choose from: Hótel Hrauneyjar and Hótel Háland, located 1.5 km apart. Our Superior rooms and Family rooms are located at Hótel Háland; check-in for both properties takes place at Hótel Hrauneyjar. Our staff are knowledgeable, helpful and multilingual and are always ready to assist guests during their stay. We aim to provide the best accommodation, excellent food and exciting activities at The Highland Center Hrauneyjar.

Neighborhood info

The Highland Center is close to many of the most beautiful and popular tourist attractions in the highlands - including Landmannalaugar, Þjórsárdalur, Mount Hekla, Sprengisandur, Veidivötn and Fjallabak. The vastness and lack of human impact on the surrounding area makes it truly one of the last places in Europe where freedom, natural beauty and solitude are combined in a breathtakingly powerful experience.
