Hotel Icefiord

Hotel Icefiord at J. Sverdrupip Aqq. 10 in Ilulissat is a beautiful place to stay right on the coastline, offering uninterrupted views of the Kangia (Ilulissat) Icefjord and Disko Bay. Its location is ideal, only a short distance from the town center and just a few minutes from the airport, with a free shuttle service that makes travel very convenient. Almost every room faces the sea, and the sight of drifting icebergs or whales passing by is unforgettable. The rooms are warm, cozy, and designed to make you feel comfortable after a day in the Arctic outdoors. Many guests especially enjoy the deluxe rooms with balconies or skylights that allow you to watch the midnight sun in summer or the Northern Lights in winter without leaving your bed. The hotel restaurant serves fresh local dishes, and breakfast is often praised for both taste and the panoramic views from the dining area. There is also a lounge and terrace where you can sit with a drink and take in the Arctic scenery. Guests often mention the friendly and helpful staff who assist with arranging tours and transfers. Small issues like limited breakfast variety on long stays or occasional Wi‑Fi drops in far corners of the building have been noted, but overall the service is described as welcoming and attentive. Ilulissat itself lies just north of the Arctic Circle and has a tundra climate. Summers are cool, with average temperatures between 5 °C and 11 °C, making light layers essential even during the warmest months. Winters are long and cold, often dropping below −10 °C, with January averaging around −17 °C and extreme lows reaching −30 °C or lower. Despite the cold, the low humidity makes the air feel less harsh than expected, and the winter skies often light up with spectacular auroras. Hotel Icefiord combines comfort, incredible natural surroundings, and authentic Arctic atmosphere. Whether you are visiting in summer to see endless daylight and icebergs or in winter to experience the Northern Lights, it offers a perfect balance of cozy hospitality and stunning scenery.
