Iceland has an extreme climate of ice and fire, as well as the dreamlike northern lights. The design hotel Ion Adventure Hotel, located on volcanic lava, enjoys all these fairy-tale-like landscapes. Adjacent to a national park, the hotel is surrounded by lava flows, rocks, glaciers, waterfalls, and hot springs, with the northern lights illuminating the night sky, making it one of the world’s most dreamlike design hotels.
Ion Adventure Hotel is about a one-hour drive from the capital, Reykjavik. Its concrete walls are paired with wooden furnishings and floor-to-ceiling glass windows, softening the cool color scheme and reducing artificial lighting to promote eco-friendly concepts. Additionally, the hotel uses locally sourced driftwood as building material, advocating sustainable use to create a green hotel.
The hotel has 45 guest rooms, along with a bar, restaurant, volcanic mud spa, and outdoor hot baths. The restaurant serves meals made with fresh ingredients delivered directly from local farms. With its expansive and stunning views, you may even have the chance to enjoy the beauty of the northern lights while soaking in the baths or dining in the evening.
