Checking out the latest hotel and resort updates
360 Hotel
For clients looking for a new way to stay in Iceland, 360 Hotel is now open among the farmlands of South Iceland near Selfoss. The new 31-room, family-owned property offers a distinctly Icelandic approach to luxury centered on heritage, hospitality, geothermal wellness, and a slower pace of travel. Just one hour from Reykjavík, it provides an ideal base for exploring some of Iceland’s most celebrated landscapes and attractions, from the Golden Circle and South Coast to Vík.
Notably, there is no standard room at 360 Hotel. Each of the 31 rooms and suites has its own character, with individual colours, furniture, textiles and details, inviting guests to return and discover something different each time. Accommodations range from Terrace Rooms from 290 square feet, where private terraces extend the living space into the surrounding landscape, to the 1,076-square-foot 360 Suite, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom retreat with panoramic views. Families can feel at home in three Junior Queen rooms with two queen beds from 505 square feet, and three sets of connecting rooms. Premium Norwegian beds and mattresses from Jensen, heated floors, and nightly turndown service complete the experience.
The property is the first Icelandic member Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ L.V.X. Collection.
CHELSEA HOTEL
Chelsea Toronto has unveiled a new brand following a four-year, hotel-wide transformation representing more than $85 million in investment.

These updates create distinct ways to dine, gather, play and recharge under one roof. The new brand reaffirms Chelsea’s commitment to creating meaningful connections, delivering exceptional hospitality and serving as a welcoming gateway to Toronto.
