HOTEL BUDIR - SNAEFELLSNES PENINSULA

Hotel Búðir is one of Iceland’s most iconic country hotels offering romance, history, fairytales and gourmet dining in an impossibly wild setting beside a mystical glacier. It’s all about the location. Hotel Budir is a 2-hour drive from Reykjavik on the dramatic Snaefellsnes peninsula, but can also be reached by a short helicopter flight. To say that the scenery is staggering doesn’t do it justice. The dramatic landscape of this peninsula (volcanoes, glaciers, lighthouses and shipwrecks) is absolutely mind-blowing. Budir is a small country hotel with lashings of tradition, set next to a wide and windswept sandy beach and a romantic church. Seals bob around the inlet, while in the downstairs bar a display of the hotel’s history gives you an idea of what you’ve got into. One wall is covered with an artist’s impressions of Icelandic fairytales; another has pictures of the hotel dating back to its inception, including its legendary 1970s ‘flower children’ phase, when guests partied for days under the midnight sun. In the gourmet restaurant (frequently rated one of the best in the country) are captivating antique lithographs of whale hunting and local wildlife. This is a wilderness retreat par excellence.
