The Faroe Islands are remote, making the natural surroundings of a hotel just as important as the luxurious interior.
Since the Faroe Islands are small (just 50,000 people live in the entire country!), there are limited luxury hotels.
This guide walks you through the options available and some of the amenities associated with each hotel.
If you’re looking for other options for accommodations in the Faroe Islands besides traditional hotels, we share other types as well.

List of Luxury Hotels in the Faroe Islands
Hotel Føroyar
Amenities
Brief Description
The purpose of the hotel is to let you take in the surrounding nature. As you enter Hotel Føroyar, the journey to the view begins. This first part of the journey is the build-up. Dark corridors like inside a puffin cave, with some hints of what is to come. Finally, you enter your room, open the curtains. There it is.
Hotel Føroyar was designed by Friis and Moltke with the intention to really allow guests to experience the vast nature of the Faroe Islands with magnificent views. Hotel Føroyar is located on the mountainside overlooking the capital city, Tórshavn. It is a 30-minute walk or a 5-minute drive to the city center.

Hotel Havgrim
Amenities
Brief Description
Built in 1948, just three years after the end of the Second World War, it was a house like none other in the Faroe Islands.
Havgrímur Johannesen from Tórshavn built the house. It was designed by Eyðálvur á Heygum to Havgrím’s specifications, taking inspiration from his many sailing trips to Great Britain. The house was to have a stately entrance, conservatory with steps leading down to the garden, a study and servant’s rooms. In 1952 the house was sold to the Danish State.
No less than 21 Danish Commodores and their families have made the house their home. Hanging in the reception is a list of the names of all the dignitaries who have lived there.
The last Commodore left in 2013 and an agreement was made with the Danish State, that the Faroese Government would take over responsibility for the house. However in 2016 the Government decided to sell the house.
