360° BOUTIQUE HOTEL & LODGE
Upscale hotel located in an Icelandic valley not far from Route 1, ideal for a quality, timeless experience.
Opened in 2018, Hotel 360° is ideally located at the bottom of a valley in the south of the country, not far from Route 1. It's perhaps one of the best places in the world to observe the Northern Lights. Surrounded by nature, it stands alone in a natural landscape of forests and meadows of great beauty. Highly appreciated for its setting and landscapes worthy of a painting, the establishment also offers exceptional quality of service. Set in a straight, single-storey building of contemporary inspiration, the rooms follow one another in a row. They are spacious and all feature large bay windows, allowing perfect communion with the surrounding nature: whether waking up or going to bed, you'll enjoy ultimate comfort while having the sensation of sleeping in the middle of nature. Some rooms also feature a terrace. Inside, each room or suite has its own unique decor, combining raw materials such as waxed concrete walls and dark wood flooring with a contemporary, warm and chic design. The bedding is wonderfully soft, and all rooms are equipped with smart TVs, broadband connections and toiletries. The little extra: complimentary coffee and tea. And because a trip to Iceland isn't complete without a thermal bath experience, the hotel provides guests with its own spa center for an intense relaxation experience right at their fingertips. The spa features an outdoor pool that blends in perfectly with nature, an indoor pool, one with geothermal hot water and one with cold water. A sauna is also available, as are treatments and massages on request. Bathing in the warm outdoor pool, in the middle of the snow and winter cold, searching for the Northern Lights, or in summer to contemplate the midnight sun, are reasons enough to stay at this unforgettable hotel. In terms of catering, three areas are available to guests: the breakfast buffet, serving a mix of homemade products made from healthy, tasty local ingredients; a lounge bar; and, of course, a restaurant where guests can enjoy a 3-course menu, prepared with local produce and revisiting Icelandic cuisine in an almost gastronomic way. An address you can trust!
The chef at 360 is extremely talented! He knocked it out of the park with flavor and presentation. Each night there is a choice of a lamb dish or fish of the day. I am a vegetarian that also eats fish which was always cooked and prepared perfectly! One evening I requested a vegetarian meal and it was the best vegetarian meal I have eaten in a long time!! Overall, the food at 360 was our favorite in Iceland! There was nothing better at the end of a long day of adventures and hiking, to soak in one of the 4 geothermal pools. It was a fabulous addition to the day’s adventures and activities and having them at the hotel was a bonus! The 360 Hotel is situated in a wonderful open location which would make it perfect for viewing and photographing the Northern Lights. We are so happy to have found this gem….we can’t wait to come back!!
