The A Murder at the End of the World Fljot Valley Hotel in Iceland
The remote high-tech hotel is located in the Fljot Valley, on the mountainous Troll Peninsula in northern Iceland.

Although the interiors of the hotel look like they were filmed on a soundstage, the concept of the hotel is inspired by the Eleven Deplar Farm.
From USD 3,100, you can stay at this exclusive lodge, which offers a luxurious and secluded retreat with ideal conditions for viewing the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights).
Built in a traditional style with black wood and grass-covered roofs, the 11-room hotel also features a fantastic indoor/outdoor geothermal pool.
However, the pool in the series was filmed at the beautiful Vök Baths located in East Iceland, on the shores of Urriðavatn.
Sourced from hot springs, visitors can relax in the geothermal pools while enjoying breathtaking views of the Icelandic nature.

Some interior scenes look like the geyser hotel in Iceland, but I haven’t found any verification of that.
