Snaefell Peninsula
Hotel Budir
Just over two hours from Reykjavík, this secluded inn on the Snaefellsnes Peninsula provides some of the most spectacular views in Iceland. A popular wedding destination, the hotel sits at the edge of a lava field, in full view of the Snaefellsjökull glacier and the Budir estuary. Underscoring this unique location is a proliferation of wildlife—herds of ponies graze inland, while seals bark on the shore of nearby Faxaflói Bay. The hotel houses a gourmet Icelandic restaurant and 28 guest rooms, all of which include simple wooden furniture, nature-inspired artwork, and large windows overlooking the mountains, glacier, or bay.
Room to Book:
Although they’re small, the inexpensive loft rooms provide some of the most impressive views; opt for No. 25, which overlooks a tiny 19th-century church.
Insider Tip:
For excellent wildlife viewing opportunities, head to the hotel bar, where a brass telescope is set up in front of floor-to-ceiling windows.
