Iceland

Located just outside Reykjavík and near Iceland’s famed Golden Circle, ION Adventure Hotel is a striking design property seamlessly integrated into the surrounding raw wilderness. Built at the foot of the active Hengill volcano on a lava field, the hotel features a bold architectural design with concrete and steel structures—some parts dramatically cantilevered over the landscape, evoking the look of a futuristic lunar outpost. The hotel offers 45 rooms, including standard rooms, deluxe rooms, and the Thermal Junior Suite equipped with sustainable geothermal energy. All rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the lava plains, the Northern Lights, and landmarks such as Þingvellir National Park. Interiors are rooted in Icelandic sustainability, using repurposed and natural materials like lava rock, driftwood, Icelandic wool, and recycled rubber, with organic bedding and eco-friendly amenities throughout.

The hotel’s signature Silfra Restaurant serves modern Nordic cuisine inspired by slow food principles, showcasing fresh Icelandic seafood and local produce. Guests can pair their meals with Icelandic craft beers or cocktails at the Northern Lights Bar while watching the misty geothermal landscape and, if lucky, the aurora borealis. Wellness offerings include the Lava Spa and an outdoor geothermal pool, both powered by natural hot springs and designed to offer a serene, campfire-like bathing experience amid Iceland’s dramatic terrain. ION Adventure Hotel is a one-of-a-kind destination that blends bold design, sustainability, and a spirit of adventure. Celebrated by Condé Nast Traveler, GQ, and others, it is often described as Iceland’s premier “luxury outpost on the edge of a volcano.” Whether for hiking, glacier excursions, Northern Lights chasing, or geothermal relaxation, ION is the ultimate launchpad for unforgettable Icelandic experiences.

Set along the revitalized harborfront of Iceland’s capital, The Reykjavik EDITION seamlessly blends contemporary design with Nordic minimalism, redefining modern luxury through the lens of nature and culture. Conceived by visionary hotelier Ian Schrager in collaboration with Marriott International, this boutique retreat stands beside the striking Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre, overlooking Faxaflói Bay and the snow-capped Esja Mountain. The hotel’s 253 rooms and suites reflect Iceland’s raw beauty through light oak finishes, volcanic stone accents, and soft wool textiles, creating a serene warmth that contrasts the northern landscape. Expansive windows flood each room with natural light, while select suites feature private terraces or outdoor hot tubs, ideal vantage points for witnessing the midnight sun or Northern Lights dancing across the horizon.

At the heart of the hotel, Tides Restaurant, helmed by acclaimed Icelandic chef Gunnar Karl Gíslason, showcases a refined take on New Nordic cuisine, celebrating local seafood and seasonal produce with understated elegance. Tides Café offers artisan pastries and light fare, while The Lobby Bar, with its fireplace and curated art, invites relaxed gatherings from morning to midnight. For panoramic views, The Roof rooftop bar captures the essence of Reykjavik’s skyline, where guests can sip cocktails beneath pastel sunsets or shimmering auroras. The wellness sanctuary, The Spa at EDITION, draws inspiration from Iceland’s geothermal energy, featuring a volcanic steam room, ice mist experience, saltwater plunge pool, and bespoke treatments that restore balance and vitality. With its unmatched waterfront location, minimalist sophistication, and the EDITION brand’s distinctive cosmopolitan flair, The Reykjavik EDITION is more than a luxury hotel, it’s a sensorial journey through Iceland’s elemental landscape, where design, culture, and nature converge in perfect harmony.
