Panorama Glass Lodges, Golden Circle Hotels
All-glass self-service lodges with outdoor hot tubs, saunas, and panoramic views straight from bed
**A Captivating Escape to Iceland’s Panorama Glass Lodges**
Prepare to be mesmerized by Iceland’s breathtaking and almost surreal landscapes with an unforgettable stay at the Panorama Glass Lodges. Nestled approximately two hours away from the vibrant city of Reykjavík, these secluded and luxurious self-service havens promise an immersive experience unlike any other. Just a short drive, a little over 20 minutes to be precise, will bring you to the charming small town of Hella, a convenient location where you can find essential supplies, a selection of inviting restaurants, and the intriguing and ancient artificial Caves of Hella, shrouded in mystery and awaiting exploration.
The lodges themselves offer unparalleled views overlooking the majestic Hekla Volcano. For those seeking a closer encounter with one of Iceland’s most renowned volcanoes, a scenic hour’s drive will transport you to its base. Furthermore, the famed sites of the Golden Circle, including the geothermal wonderland of Geysir and the awe-inspiring Gullfoss waterfall, are easily accessible, reachable in approximately 1.5 hours or less.
Sabrina and Andreas Dedler, the visionary creators of these four remote lodges, first opened their doors in 2017. Their initial intention was to create a romantic sanctuary for couples, a place where love could blossom amidst the stark beauty of the Icelandic wilderness. While the accommodations are open to all who seek tranquility and immersion in nature, each lodge is designed to comfortably accommodate up to two guests in a spacious king-size bed, making them particularly well-suited for couples or close friends embarking on a shared adventure.
Constructed from a harmonious blend of glass, steel, and wood, and furnished with bespoke pieces, the lodges seamlessly integrate into the surrounding environment. This architectural design ensures that guests are placed in direct and inspiring contact with the raw power and serenity of nature. Imagine gazing upon the ethereal dance of the Northern Lights from the comfort of your bed, the celestial display unfolding above you through the glass ceiling. Alternatively, during the summer months, revel in the unique experience of the midnight sun, bathing the landscape in a perpetual golden glow. And rest assured, despite the absence of curtains, the hotel thoughtfully provides sleeping masks to ensure restful sleep during the long summer days.
It’s important to note that these lodges operate on a self-service basis. Consequently, there is no traditional reception area, common facilities, or on-site staff, making them an ideal choice for independent adventurers and those who highly value privacy and solitude. Each lodge features a fully equipped kitchen, complete with basic pantry staples such as pasta, rice, and a selection of condiments, allowing you to prepare your own meals at your leisure. Additionally, each cabin boasts its own private outdoor Jacuzzi and a glass-built sauna. These are truly exceptional spots to relax, unwind, and soak in the mesmerizing spectacle of the Northern Lights or the stark beauty of the surrounding Arctic tundra.

Wifi – Check On RequestIceland
Choosing the right time to visit Iceland depends on what you would like to see and do. To see the Northern Lights, visit in winter—and thus brave ultra-short days and brisk weather. If your goal is to hike, road trip, and otherwise explore outdoors, the best times are late spring and early fall. Summer months bring great weather and long days, but also attract big tourist crowds.
Where should I go in Iceland?
Iceland has much more to offer than the popular (and crowded) Golden Circle and South Coast areas. We highly recommend exploring Iceland’s remote regions such as Snaefellsnes Peninsula, the Westfjords, Lake Myvatn, and the East Fjords. See our recommended tours & itineraries to get ideas on how to plan your trip to Iceland.
How many days do I need?
You can have an epic Iceland experience when you spend at least 5 days. Shorter trips are possible but won’t give you enough time to explore beyond the Reykjavik area and the western section of the South Coast. With 8 days or more, you can complete the famous Ring Road and see sights that most tourists miss, like Godafoss Waterfall, the unique volcanic hotspots surrounding Lake Myvatn, and the Westfjords.
Getting around in Iceland
Most travelers drive themselves in Iceland during the summer season (Mid-April to November), and some opt for small group or guided tours during the winter season when weather, wind, and limited daylight can make driving more difficult. The Ring Road is Iceland's iconic multi-day road trip (typically 7-10 days), with many opportunities to extend further to more remote areas such as the highlands, the Westfjords, and northern coast.
