60-DAY FORECAST
Prices stable. No immediate rush to book.
Set against a backdrop of mountainous lava fields less than an hour from Reykjavík. The brutalist concrete structure juts out perpendicular to the slope, creating a stark contrast with the moss. You're here to soak in the geothermal pool beneath the Northern Lights.

Field notes
1h from KEF
Located on the Golden Circle route. In winter (Nov-Mar), a 4x4 vehicle is mandatory to reach the hotel due to snow.
Avoid Fridays
Fridays see a sharp spike in rates. Arrive mid-week (ideally Wednesday) for the best value.
Industrial Edge
The hotel neighbors a geothermal plant, which powers the sustainable heat. You might catch a whiff of sulfur.
