Fittingly, sustainability is at the hotel’s core: it only uses energy produced on-site by hydroelectric plants, powered by spring water that flows from the lava.
Bright, modern and minimalist rooms – some with a private terrace – are finished with delicate paintings by a local artist. Icelandic ingredients inform otherwise international menus at two restaurants, where vast floor-to-ceiling window heights flood the room with light and create something of an enchanting, scenic dining experience. Nature, once again, has the last word.
