ION Luxury Adventure Hotel's concrete and glass facade rises from the Icelandic landscape like a set piece in a science fiction fantasy. Geothermal power and sustainable building materials are as pretty as they are practical at this four-pearl property, where 45 rooms are chic and include organic amenities, modern technology, and frequently gorgeous views. The restaurant serves New Nordic cuisine and the lovely bar offers seasonal glimpses of the Northern Lights -- there's also a spa with a gorgeous outdoor hot tub. The location might not suit all, but design nerds, romantic couples, and thrill seekers looking for excursions can fulfill a dream or two. Northern Light seekers might also want to consider the Frost and Fire Hotel.

Hotel Grimsborgir is an upscale, 64-room hotel in a secluded location that’s great for viewing the Northern Lights. The location means there is little to do around the hotel, beyond taking personal day trips by car or with the hotel’s sightseeing tour bus (for a fee). Rooms are sophisticated, with flat-screen TVs and minibars, while apartments have two to four bedrooms, lounge areas, and full kitchen -- some also have private hot tubs. Features include an expensive restaurant and bar, communal hot tubs, massages upon request, and free breakfast -- but no full spa. Those looking for an on-site spa should consider the Ion Luxury Adventure Hotel.
