Sand Hotel (Reykjavik, Iceland) 3 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"Sandhotel borrows its name from the neighboring Sandholt Bakery, a century-old Reykjavík institution, and also adjoins Guðsteinn Eyjólfsson’s Gentlemans’ Store, an equally venerable local tailor. It’s notable, obviously, for its ties to the local culture, including the author Halldor Laxness, who was born in one of its seven houses. For all that, it’s a remarkably forward-looking affair, and is easily one of the most stylish hotels — or perhaps establishments of any kind — in the Icelandic capital. There’s a bistro and bar on site, and a few of the city’s finest restaurants are right on this street." - Tablet Hotels
