Located right in the heart of Egilsstadir – east Iceland’s capital – this three-star, three-storey hotel has almost doubled in size thanks to a new wing added in June 2004. The extension has been built on two levels to accommodate Iceland’s east coast ‘boom’, which has caused a vast increase in visitor numbers in recent years. Extra rooms now occupy the first floor, The Hérad is a relaxing retreat with plenty of room for creature comforts, a first-class restaurant serving delicious local dishes like the famous reindeer steaks, and a ‘midnight sun’ balcony bar.
