This dapper four-star boutique is a lively addition to Reykjavik’s burgeoning hotel scene. Rooms are comfortable and sleekly designed, and amenities span a wellness spa and fitness centre, plus a restaurant and lobby bar. Situated in the heart of downtown Reykjavik, the hotel is perfectly located – thanks largely to the capital’s diminutive dimensions – for pretty much everything from cultural experiences to culinary thrills. Being close to the harbour means you’re a five-minute hop from the Reykjavik Art Museum and Harpa Concert Hall, with Hallgrímskirkja Church and the National Museum of Iceland just 10 to 15 minutes by foot. You also won’t walk for long before hitting a restaurant, café or bar.
