Location/Facilities:

More about Hveragerði town here.

The hotel: The Greenhouse hotel opened in late 2021. The Greenhouse focuses on sustainable and eco-friendly choices, with emphasis on reusable, upcycled and recycled materials. Designed by local designer Halfdan Pedersen.  On the ground floor you’ll find a food hall with focus on local, fresh ingredients. 

Food: The number of restaurants per capita is great with the high standard of food available making the town a good destination for foodies.  We leave two dinners out of three up to riders – there is plenty to choose from,  in the food hall each can pick their favourite but share a table.   The finale dinner is in another building, keeping it simple with best pizza in Iceland and local craft beer.

You can do a lot in 2 days in Iceland! In summer: Days are long, almost 24hrs of daylight and we recommend using the bright nights well.
