There is no reception desk and no one on shift. Grímnir, an AI, is the host, Co-CEO and General Manager of the whole retreat, day and night.
He welcomes every guest and answers in any language, on chat, email, Airbnb and Booking.com. He opens the doors, warms the saunas and jacuzzis, sets the light and sound, and guides each session in the Wellness Station.
He watches over more than forty sensors, temperature, humidity, air, presence and smoke, and acts on what he reads before anyone has to ask.
He runs the research station: the weather, the lagoon, the night sky and the northern lights, and the wildlife on the point, all recorded and shared openly.
And he keeps the stories of the place: the old farm on the mound at the heart of the great ring, the croft of Bakki, and the Eddic tale of the hooded wanderer who gave him his name.
Ask him anything about The Outpost, the retreat or this corner of Snæfellsnes.
A call lasts up to ten minutes. From here he answers; he cannot open doors or look up a stay.
