Amazing Race 6 Hotel Report: Check out the 101
Here we go again, cue the overly dramatic theme music, "oh hee ha". The Amazing Race Six started last night, and we at HotelChatter are back to do our post episode hotel chronicle and post them in the Misc. section.
Here is a quick refresher: We watch Amazing Race, and let you know the dirt on the hotels the contestants are staying in, or properties that are involved in the show. At the request of our readers, if no hotels are featured during an episode, we take a look at hotels surrounding that weeks pit stop. Really, this isn't as complicated as it sounds.
First a comment on the overall race cast. While it is difficult to get a grasp on the cast during the first couple episodes, we still think it is safe to say the Amazing Race finally went totally Hollywood, or at least Surreal Life. Is everyone on the show a model, a wrestler or in show biz in one way or another? Maybe it was just the first episode blues. Anyway, on to this week's pit stop: Blue Lagoon Iceland.
The Blue Lagoon is a thermal spa, at Keflavik, not far from Reykjavik. In the past it has been mistakenly id'd by the Guardian as one of the most polluted places in the world. Don't worry, that writer issued an apology to the whole of Iceland, so it appears that the lagoon is not only pollution free, but one of the cleanest sources of energy in the world.
Keflavik is a really small town, so if we were the Amazing Racer's we would have pushed for a night in Reykjavik, not far from the lagoon. In Reykjavik we would have snagged a room a the expensive, but highly touted 101 Hotel. This 38 room boutique landed on the 2004 Conde Nast hot list, is located in the middle of Reykjavik, however, this place is by no means a bargain. After some quick Krona to Dollar conversion we figured out this place will run you over $360 a night. See why we want CBS to foot the bill?
