Set above the small town of Hveragerði on the banks of the Varmá River, this stylish and welcoming boutique hotel is just a 40-minute drive from Reykjavík.
There are 22 rooms, all of which feature contemporary Nordic decor, laminate flooring, earthy hues with bright soft furnishings, and artworks from local Icelandic artists. There’s also a wealth of modern amenities, including flat-screen TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi, and tea and coffee-making facilities.
Elsewhere, you’ll find two hot tubs, a sauna, a heated swimming pool for year-round use, and an honesty bar for helping yourself to wine and spirits. You’re spoiled further with a conservatory style restaurant that serves Icelandic cuisine and offers views of the river and the scenic surrounds. This hotel is ideal for those who like the outdoors and want to spend time walking, hiking, discovering volcanic hot springs and hidden geothermal pools, and swimming or fishing in the Varmá River.
OUR OPINION:
Not only is this relaxed boutique hotel a joy for those who love the outdoors life, but it sets the bar high for contemporary design and attentive service. The scenic surrounds are especially memorable.
