With a past that involves housing workers at the Nesjavellir Geothermal Power Plant, this former inn was sitting vacant in 2011 when it was acquired. With the help of faraway Santa Monica-based design studio Minarc, the abandoned building was renovated to become the eco-conscious ION Adventure Hotel, represented by Design Hotelsâ„¢, in Selfoss, Iceland. For this monthâ€™s Destination Design, we visit this luxurious Icelandic hotel.

The easily accessible hotel blends modern design with the natural landscape of Iceland in its background. The 45 rooms are a mix of industrial concrete and warm natural elements, like locally salvaged driftwood and lava.

The hotelâ€™s location allows guests to enjoy the best that Iceland has to offer â€“ with its close proximity to Reykjavik for city fixes and the Mount Hengill volcano for various adventures, thereâ€™s plenty to enjoy in the quaint town.

A new wing, made of a prefabricated panelized building system, was added, jutting out from the original building, housing a lounge and seating area.

The hotel also has the Silfra Restaurant & Bar for farm-fresh foods, the Northern Lights Bar, and the partially exposed Lava Spa thatâ€™s situated under the above ground hotel.

The comfortable guest rooms feature fair trade organic linens, water-saving shower systems, along with beds and chairs made from recycled materials.
