These unique bathtubs have been carefully selected to provide added comfort and convenience, especially for guests who may have difficulty stepping into traditional tubs. As Icelandic hotelier Friðrik Pálsson explains:
“What makes them special is that the bathtubs are accessible even to those who might have a hard time climbing into a bathtub. You walk into the tub and close the door behind you. Then, you can settle in as you fill the tub with water. Stay seated until the water drains out and then walk out of the tub again.”
Of course, you can also choose to fill the tub beforehand and step in as usual. Either way, these bathtubs are thoughtfully designed with both function and form in mind. The sleek, rectangular shape and high-quality materials give a touch of modern elegance, while the built-in waterproof seating pad adds a layer of comfort and versatility.

The seating pad isn’t just for sitting—it’s also a practical feature. Use it to rest while showering, as a place to keep your toiletries within reach, or convert it into a comfy backrest while you soak and unwind. The shower component is also easier to access thanks to the smart glass door on the side of the tub, making it ideal for travelers looking for accessible accommodation in Iceland.
You’ll find these luxurious bathtubs in six of our Deluxe Superior Rooms. These rooms are a guest favorite, featuring geothermal heating, king-size beds, views of the surrounding Icelandic countryside, and often a front-row seat to the northern lights during winter months.
“We’ve had these tubs for about a year now, trying them out in six rooms, and so far the response has been very positive,” Friðrik adds. “It’s great fun.”
