In ancient Icelandic, ‘Sel’ means a mountain pasture shed. Sel Hotel embodies this legacy with its pitched roof, symbolizing shelter and saga. Beyond accommodation, it integrates a beer spa, bridging sanctuary and nature. LES SPA, nestled near Mývatn lake, echoes Sel’s roof, emphasizing sensory immersion and harmony with surroundings. Water channels presence, akin to a distant volcano’s rise. Below, a brewery, café, and shop set the stage, inviting guests to engage before ascending to relaxation. The rooftop transforms into an outdoor beer tasting venue, celebrating nature. Guests find solace in outdoor baths under Icelandic vistas and northern lights, completing the immersive experience.
