In-Depth Information
A glossy hotel on the waterfront, Arnarhvoll offers unimpeded views of the bay and Mt
Esja. Cool, Scandinavian-designed rooms with clean lines and large windows let in all that
lovely Nordic light; it's definitely worth paying for a sea view. Rooms are a bit small, but
extremely comfortable beds compensate. The small sauna and steam room, and the Ský
bar, add flair.
