Hotel Budir

The oldest church in Iceland stands just outside the window, which should give you some sense of the neighborhood. This small, remote hotel sits on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, two hours from Reykjavík, with glaciers, lava fields, and mountain peaks filling the gaps. Rooms are comfortable and traditionally styled; the master suite leans modernist and somewhat extravagant. The restaurant leans into local ingredients, and every conceivable outdoor adventure begins at the front door.
