The 101 Hotel Bar-Restaurant.  Again, showing the style of the establishment.  The location is one of the "hub" locations of Reykjavik, in the "101" district.  A very trendy and popular area and bar 'to be seen in'!

The lagoon is set in a lava field, and filled with mineral-rich hot water pumped from about a mile below the surface.
