View on the way to Reykjavik from the Ion Hotel.
The Northern Lights Bar.
Not much of a view in the winter from the Northern Lights Bar! Can you say white out?
The amazing room. I love the gigantic horse.
View from our room! That is a frozen lake to the right.
Me, waiting for dinner in the amazing Silfra Restaurant in the hotel.
Pan roasted sea scallops with lemon risotto.
Driving up to the Ion Hotel...it's nestled at the very top of Mount Hengill!
Highs & Lows
-
The hotel is very isolated and definitely evokes a cozy vibe.
-
The minimalist design is a work of art in itself.
-
The Northern Lights Bar - I only wish I actually saw some Northern Lights!
-
Self service breakfast bar...two thumbs up!!
-
Dinner service at the hotel restaurant was very slow; it seemed like they were understaffed.
-
The transportation options didn't seem like much. It would be nice if they could also pick you up at the bottom of the mountain instead of just from the airport.
