“This hotel makes an ideal base for exploring the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon and Skaftafell National Park. I noted that the architectural design echoes the glaciers nearby, and the on-site dining aims for a gourmet experience, though some may find simpler fare more satisfying. The inclusive hot tub and sauna access tips the scale toward relaxation after a day of adventuring.”
