Ion Adventure Hotel — Laugavegur
2 $$$$ Ultra-luxury
★ 9.5

Jutting from a lava field beside Iceland's Golden Circle, Ion Adventure Hotel is the country's most architecturally extraordinary property — glass walls opening to tundra and geothermal hot springs, a Northern Lights bar that must be seen to be believed, and activities ranging from glacier hikes to dog sledding. An utterly unique experience 45 minutes from Reykjavik.
