The Best Hotels in Iceland, From Rural Lodges to Reykjavik Boutiques
"The beauty of Reykjavik Marina is its range. From cost-effective double rooms to the funky superior king suite, this accessible property puts guests directly in the magic of the old harbor neighborhood—step outside and you’ll be greeted by looming ships. The petite rooms, some with balconies overlooking the city or the harbor, are bright and airy while the cozy, art-filled common spaces are full of fellow visitors decked out in outdoor gear. The attached bar and restaurant, Slippbarinn, was the first cocktail bar in the city and continues to draw locals with its happy hour and menu full of small bites and various takes on the catch of the day. The hotel is the halfway point between the downtown and Grandi neighborhoods, which is home to an especially vibrant shopping area. If you step outside and walk in the other direction toward the downtown district, you’ll find some of the city’s best cultural institutions, such as the Reykjavík Art Museum Hafnarhús."
