The bar is a popular hangout for the local Icelanders, mingle by ordering your Vodka Tonic with Reyka, the local volcanic rock filtered vodka.
How did Iceland get so chic? By rights, the capital, Reykjavik, should be a sleepy fishing village. Not so. The 101 Hotel makes you feel like you've stepped into a design magazine. Clean lines and white linens meet fireplaces and wide-plank floors. Wash away jet lag in the walk-in shower, or soak in a claw-foot tub.
You're literally surrounded by culture and style at 101 Hotel. Throw a salt cod from one of the 38 rooms' windows and hit the Icelandic Opera, National Theatre, or Culture House. Want to see more of the hotel's art? Wander over to its partner, the 101 Gallery. Dine at the 101 Restaurant, popular with visitors and locals alike, with a compelling fusion of Indian, western, and traditional Icelandic cuisines.
Highbrow pursuits aside, some of Iceland's hottest spots are in the Hinterland. The hotel offers guided tours that vary in length and intensity. Climb aboard a 4X4 and venture forth to visit glaciers, fjords, geothermal pools, waterfalls, and active volcanoes!
