Hotels in Greenland - Ilulissat (Jakobshavn) forms the heart of Disko Bay, situated by the extensive ice fjord and one of the world's most productive icebergs, which calves to produce 25 billion tonnes of ice a year. Ilulissat means iceberg, and it is here in the ice fjord, 40 km long and 7 km wide, that most of the icebergs of the Northern Hemisphere are created - around 20 million tons of icebergs every day.
The Hotel Arctic is situated in Ilulissat, 250 km north of the Arctic Circle and about 500 km north of Nuuk. You will scarcely find a hotel anywhere which has a more exotic and less traditional location than Hotel Arctic. Situated on a mountainside with views over the town of Ilulissat, the ice fjord with its astonishing icebergs, Disko Bay and Disko Island 85 km away, the scenery stretching before you is both stark and incredibly beautiful. Here is nature as you have never experienced it before.
