101 Hotel is undeniably cool. For Iceland's first foray into the realm of chic hotels, owner and designer Ingibjörg S. Pálmadóttir has transformed the Icelandic Social Democratic Party's former home into the quintessence of Nordic style.
This former office building erected in the 1930s is now Iceland's casual-chic lightning rod, where guests and locals gather around tree-trunk tables and classic pieces by Eero Saarinen and Philippe Starck, bathed in the warm glow of a communal lounge fireplace. The spare, glossy, and masculine bar's style is an innovative mixture of Chinese lacquered tables, wooden blocks, and Edwardian chairs.
