16 Best Hotels in Iceland, From Rural Lodges to Reykjavik Boutiques | Condé Nast Traveler

"I found this newest downtown arrival to feel like a cool, stylish breath of fresh air: the Edition’s Nordic-inflected interiors mix basalt, lava, warm oak, and concrete with Italian ash-wood furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows that either frame the fjord and Mt. Esja or downtown Reykjavik. Wedged between the Harpa Concert Hall and the Old Harbour, it’s ideally located, and the hotel adds extras like a rooftop terrace for Northern Lights viewing, a restaurant run by Iceland’s first Michelin-star chef Gunnar Karl Gíslason, and a cozy speakeasy-style bar." - Erika Owen, James Taylor
