360 Hotel & Spa

The name is literal: floor-to-ceiling glass wraps the whole building on a hilltop outside Selfoss, so the southern Icelandic countryside, mountains, distant water, and occasional Northern Lights are basically the decor. This boutique design hotel pairs that view with plush-meets-industrial interiors and a spa fed by a mineral spring a thousand feet underground. The restaurant runs a set dinner menu built on local Icelandic ingredients, which is the right move when the larder looks like this.
