Less than an hours drive from the hustle and bustle of Reykjavík and set against a backdrop of the majestic mountainous lava fields, ION Adventure Hotel is where modern design meets Icelands incomparable natural landscape. Situated in the south-western town of Selfoss, only a 15- minute drive from Þingvellir, and near a national crossroad making the hotel accessible to various parts of the country, ION Adventure is conveniently located to offer guests the best of Iceland. From the volcanic marvels of Mount Hengill to the urban sophistication of Reykjavik nearby, the unique landscape plays a pivotal role in the rich design of the hotel, which leans heavily on sustainable practices and the natural features of the island. Throughout 45 rooms, guests can expect a mellow mix of concrete chic and earthy ambiance, combined with the warm accents of locally salvaged driftwood and lava; all deftly handled by design studio Minarc. Beyond this, the farm-fresh cuisine at Silfra Restaurant & Bar, view-heavy Northern Lights Bar, and partially exposed Lava Spa all ensure that visitors have the ultimate Icelandic experience before even stepping foot outside. Representing both local handicraft culture and the family roots of the owner, Sverrisdóttirs mother has knitted Icelandic wool sweater that are available for purchase in the hotel lobby. This same pattern is the inspiration for the facade of the new ION City property. ATTN!
