The Best Hotels in Iceland, From Rural Lodges to Reykjavik Boutiques
"The newest arrival to the hotel scene in downtown Reykjavik, the Reykjavik Edition is a breath of cool, fresh air in a city that lives and breathes style and creativity. As a part of the coveted Edition brand of hotels designed by Ian Schrager and Marriott, this establishment puts Reykjavik in the same league as destinations like Manhattan, Barcelona, Tokyo, and Shanghai. Each hotel in the group is unique to its destination, and Reykjavik’s Edition is no different. The interiors feature splashes of Nordic creativity in the décor tempered by a clean and effortless design, with materials like basalt, lava, warm oak, and concrete capturing the youthful and vibrant feel of Reykjavik perfectly. This all gives way to the warm and inviting rooms, with Italian furnishings made from ash wood and floor-to-ceiling windows that either frame the fjord and Mt. Esja or views of downtown Reykjavik. Gracefully wedged between the Harpa Concert Hall and Reykjavik’s Old Harbour, the location couldn’t be better. Add in a rooftop terrace for viewing the northern lights, a restaurant run by Iceland’s first Michelin Star chef Gunnar Karl Gíslason, and a cushy speakeasy-style bar, and this is the hotel to beat."
