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. If you fancy a stay at Budir next summer, remember you can take advantage of our special offer and book for 2005 before the end of September 2004 and only pay the 2004 price!

With our Iceland Connoisseur tour, you can stay in four of the island’s best hotels including Budir. This 7-night fly drive & lodge holiday is perfect if you want the best from your accommodation and with each being superbly located, you’ll get to see the best scenery and sites that the south and west regions have to offer. If you’re looking for a shorter stay, our Romantic Retreat is another fly-drive option where you can stay at Budir for 2-nights with 2-nights in Reykjavik and enjoy a relaxing and romantic weekend away.

To book any of these holidays or to find out more, please contact our Iceland team on 01737 214 214 or check out www.discovertheworld.co.uk/iceland. You can also visit Hotel Budir’s website www.budir.is for more information
