Iceland's Hotel Budir has done it again!
Well it seems Hotel Budir just can’t stop impressing the judges! Not so long ago, Hotel Budir was voted as one of the best of 100 hotels in the world by Condé Nast Traveller and more recently, one of five best modern seaside hotels in the Independent. It’s not surprising as this chic and stylish hotel has all that you need for a romantic or relaxing getaway.

With its golden sand beaches and enchanting views, Hotel Budir has everything from beautifully appointed rooms to exquisite cuisine. The new hotel replaces one built in 1940 but is an improved take on the old version and offers classic sophistication and style, gaining a reputation for its unique atmosphere.

A stay at Budir is perfect for a romantic or relaxing weekend break this winter. If you would like to book or find out more please contact our Iceland sales team on 01737 214 214.
