Summary
Description
The Hill, formerly known as Icelandair Hotel Fludir, is a beautiful place to stay near the Golden Circle sightseeing route in south Iceland. Those who want a hotel immersed in geothermal, rural landscapes, close to many major attractions, should look into booking one of the 32 comfortable rooms.
Location & Nearby
The Hill is located just to the south of the village of Fludir, which is best known for being home to the Secret Lagoon. Iceland’s oldest geothermally-heated swimming pool, this site has a spectacular hot spring area adjacent to it, blending both natural and historical beauty to create an otherworldly ambience. The Secret Lagoon even boasts a small geyser, which erupts every few minutes.
The country’s most active and dramatic geyser, however, is Strokkur, located just twenty minutes from the hotel. This incredible attraction is one of the three major sites of the world-famous Golden Circle sightseeing route. Its other features, the primordial Thingvellir National Park and majestic Gullfoss waterfall, are just ten and fifty minutes from Strokkur respectively, thus all can easily be visited in a day from the Hill.
A stay here also makes the sites of the South Coast, such as Seljandsfoss waterfall, Reynisfjara beach, and even Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon much more accessible than to those staying in Reykjavik. The capital is located 104 km to the west.
The Hill Hotel also overlooks Mount Midfell, a popular hiking destination.
Facilities & Amenities
The Hill has 32 comfortable rooms, which are split into King Guest and Twin Guest Rooms. All boast en suite bathrooms with showers and hairdryers; free Wifi; hypoallergenic bedding; televisions; and private access to the hotel garden. Their high ceilings, wide windows and rich decor make them welcoming, airy spaces.
Every guest can enjoy a breakfast buffet each morning; by evening, this space becomes an excellent restaurant that uses ingredients from the surrounding farms to produce local and international dishes. There is also a bar to relax in.
Speaking of relaxation, the hotel garden has hot tubs, an open-air terrace and a spa area, allowing you to find a place to unwind no matter the season. In winter, these provide wonderful spaces from which to look out for the northern lights, whereas in summer, you can use them to enjoy the midnight sun.
Finally, the Hill hotel has a 24-hour help desk, at which you will be able to organise hiking, horseback riding and other tours.
