It was the vision of wrestling champion Jóhannes Jósefsson, who made a fortune as a circus performer in America, where his dream of creating a luxury hotel in Iceland was conceived. Since it’s completion in 1930, it has been a magnet for everyone from heads of state to the famous and the glamorous, becoming entwined with Icelandic history along the way.
