Accommodation is divided between elegantly appointed guest rooms and spacious serviced apartments, making the hotel well suited to couples, families and groups alike.

Selected suites and apartments offer additional living space and private balconies, providing the ideal setting to relax after a day of exploration.
Dining is centered around the hotel's elegant restaurant and bar, where locally sourced ingredients take centre stage. Menus showcase seasonal Icelandic produce in creative and contemporary ways, while the fjord-facing outdoor terrace provides an inviting spot for lunch, dinner or drinks. The hotel's north- and south-facing rooftop terraces are particularly special, offering panoramic views across Akureyri, the surrounding mountains and the waters of Eyjafjörður. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, an evening cocktail or simply soaking up the scenery, they provide a wonderful vantage point throughout the year.
Beyond the hotel, many of Akureyri's highlights are within easy walking distance, including the striking Akureyri Church, Akureyri Art Museum, numerous bustling cafés and the scenic waterfront promenade. The Forest Lagoon is just a five-minute drive away, while further afield you'll find the extraordinary landscapes of the Diamond Circle and the scenic fishing villages of the Troll Peninsula. Back at Skáld, guests can make use of the fitness centre, relax on the rooftop terraces or, when conditions are right, watch for the magical glow of the Northern Lights overhead. Combining an excellent location with contemporary style and easy access to North Iceland's natural wonders, Skáld Akureyri offers an inviting and characterful retreat in one of the country's most rewarding regions.
