This architecturally arresting, sustainably designed hotel opened in mid-2014 about 2km east of Skútustaðir. There are 80 modern, simple rooms – comfy, with colour schemes complementing the surrounds. The big windows and green sofas of the bar-lounge area invite contemplation. There's also stylish, well-regarded Eldey Restaurant (mains 3200kr to 5900kr; open 6pm to 9pm).
October to April, rates fall sharply.
