Panorama Glass Lodge

Franchise

Concept

Panorama Glass Lodge® has become by far the most popular accommodation in all Iceland and
established itself as one of the main attractions for an Iceland visit for many travelers. Our brand also
won the National Geographics Readers Award in 2019 for the most unique accommodation
worldwide.

We noticed a continued interest from landowners from different countries to start their own
Panorama Glass Lodge® accommodation business. That’s what made us go this further step and open up the possibility for franchising. Panorama Glass Lodge® is an established and international well-known brand, featured in more than 180 magazines and newspapers worldwide. We are thrilled to finally offering this interesting and versatile option for landowners, entrepreneurs and investors alike.

The shape of the Lodges is inspired by Scandinavian houses and combines wooden elements, steel
and glass which makes the Lodges so unique. The interior is custom made, accessories are hand-
picked and a high value is placed on the high-quality products. We respect nature and use only
materials that do no harm to our beautiful surroundings.

What we offer is more than an accommodation, our goal is that all our guests have an outstanding,
comfortable, and memorable once in a lifetime experience with enough privacy in a spectacular and scenery. Even though the cabins are out in the nature, the guests can still enjoy luxury, high quality standards and extraordinary design.

There are so many other stunning locations out there and we want to make them accessible for
guests so they can enjoy the beauty of the nature in combination with all the amenities that comes
along with the Panorama Glass Lodge®.

Testimonials

Truly incredible. Hard to explain how magical the Panorama Glass Lodge is. It’s one of those things you need to experience for yourself. We stayed in the Alva lodge for two nights. The lodge has everything we needed and nothing that we didn’t. It was literally perfect. We were treated to an amazing rainbow over the river, some beautiful sunsets, sunrises and more. The hot tub, the hammock, the views, the tasteful decorations and style, it was all top notch. We took a quick cold plunge in the river below the lodge and then warmed up in the sauna. We’re already planning a return trip. If you’re going to Iceland, you HAVE to stay here for at least a night but I would recommend two or more. Thank you for making this one of the best parts of our trip.

There are really no words to describe this experience. I have stayed in many amazing places around the world but panorama glass lodge was easily at the tippy top for me. It is a place like no other, and those memories will stay with me forever. Though the incredible photos are what drew me to this place, like all amazing things in this world, the photos don't do it justice. I just laid in bed and kept saying to my husband “I never felt this emotion before” while staring at the northern lights dancing all around us. Worth all the money!

Hands down my favorite place I've ever stayed. The house and amenities alone are worth the price, but add in the view AND the fact that we had clear skies and AURORA all night long... I would have paid triple the price.

What an absolute incredible stay! So magical and by far my favorite from all the places we stayed at. We started our trip staying here two nights. I cannot tell you how amazing. You simply must stay to see for yourself. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights on our last night. Truly perfect. The look inside is modern and so clean, very cozy. The views are gorgeous. Thank you so much! The hosts were also so amazing. Love this place! Totally obsessed.

This was an incredible experience! Absolutely everything was perfect - hot tub outside, comfortable bed, nice bathroom, fully equipped kitchen and outside grill and simply stunning views of Iceland. It is my favorite hotel stay ever!
