Ranga Royal Suite

“We decided to make it pretty big, around 74m2, and in a style similar to the hotel’s at the time,” says hotelier Friðrik Pálsson. The room has quite a high ceiling, owing to the suggestion of the hotel’s electrician who suggested hiding a girder with a curved surface. “We decided to have a bathtub out in the middle of the room, a beautiful Jacuzzi, and then French doors in front of it to the East.

The Royal Suite offers exquisite views of the notorious Eyjafjallajökull volcano and of the Rangá river. In spring, guests may also open the doors to find red-necked phalaropes and grey phalaropes swimming on the small pond close by.

The room is decorated with works from many of Hotel Rangá’s favorite artists and furnished with beautiful pieces from the US and Canada. There’s an especially inviting king size bed and two sofa beds, so it’s not unusual for groups or families of up to six people to stay in the room. The suite’s bathroom also boasts two showers which often become a topic of conversation.
