There"s a sleek new outpost in Reykjavik in its soft-opening phase, ready to welcome explorers of Iceland"s vast beauty. Embodying the spirit of adventurous travel and cool Nordic design that dwells in its sister property Ion Adventure Hotel, the 18-room Ion City Hotel is the citified version of the original award-winning countryside retreat. Here, the same respect for Icelandic aesthetics and sourcing is evidenced, yet a melding with top international design firms means the city"s increasingly cosmopolitan nature is aptly-reflected. Located on the city"s main avenue Laugarvegur, Ion City"s deep local ties to its neighboring cafés, bars, restaurants, and galleries make it the perfect portal from which to explore the urban side of this fascinating destination. Further elevating this hotspot on the map, the North African-tinged restaurant Sumac will be helmed by the country"s culinary Olympic team director Thrainn Freyr Vigfusson, a veritable showcase of Iceland"s unique culinary prowess seen through a worldly lense for fresh perspective.
