Hello, I am Hakon the owner of Hildibrand Hotel. I moved back to Neaskupstaður my hometown 6 years ago along with my Partner to join my parents in turning my Great-Grandfather Hildibrandur's old shop into a hotel. I studied Hotel and Restaurant Management in Switzerland and had been working and traveling abroad before moving back. My life-calling is anything relating to food , I AM A FOODIE. I take great pleasure in farming and growing food, in summer you will most likely find me in my vegetable garden, In winter I take care of our sheep's and chickens. Some of my other interest are design, art, travel, sustainability, green energy, reading, learning and good conversations.

Hildibrand Hotel and Hospitality is a family run business. The building was built buy my Great-Grandfather in the 1940's as the towns General Store. In 2014 it re-opened as the Hildibrand Hotel after full remodel. The family is farmers and we we operate our local farm where we grow most of the food offered at the hotel restaurant. In the summer 2017 we plan to open another restaurant in an old harbor house nearby, there we will offer local fish and salad that we grow at the farm. We look forward to welcoming you in Neskaupstaður.
