Hotel Glymur, Iceland

Technically, it's not a bath tub but a hot-tub with an incredible view– so this place is worth a mention. It's located in a colourful, small and homely hotel, where the staff are welcoming, the atmosphere laid-back, and the food delicious. A great base for hiking, whale-watching or midnight golfing. Certainly watching the Aurora Borealis from the geothermal hot tubs is an almost magical experience.
