Reykjavik Edition

If out-and-out luxury is what you’re after, then The Reykjavik Edition is the only hotel to consider in the capital.

This is an upscale design hotel par excellence: stylish, stripped-back Scandi-styled rooms (many with harbour views), a cool palette of monochrome greys, creams and taupes, a tempting choice of restaurants, and a knockout rooftop bar that offers panoramic views over the city.

It feels like stepping into the pages of a glossy design magazine. It’s in a super position for exploring the city, too, right beside the harbour and the architecturally striking Harpa Concert Hall.
