We stayed here over a couple days in December and we have no regrets. Great location that is accessible to areas like sites on the Golden Circle and down towards Vic. Love the restaurant - dinner was fantastic and breakfast offered so many choices. Wake up calls for the Northern lights were great and part of why we chose the hotel. So many cozy places to tuck away to play a game or enjoy a cocktail when winding down at the end of the day. So much attention to detail and loved getting the Yule lad gift bags each morning!

The family decided to go to Hotel Rangá to experience accommodation and Christmas dinner. It was especially pleasant to come at this time and we have done so for many years. All the service was excellent and the experience in the hot tub, great food and music at the end make this visit memorable

The staff is amazing. The room is so inviting and best night of sleep in years. Seeing the Northern Lights was a dream come true and no better place to fulfill that dream.!!

Hotel Ranga was the perfect place to stay to see the Northern lights over Thanksgiving. Their wake-up call service was reassuring so that we knew when to go outside and that we were not missing anything. The dark sky in this location made the view of the Northern lights extra special. It was also easy to sight-see along the South Coast and even into the Golden Circle. Staff members were friendly and helpful and made our stay very pleasant.
