While the luxurious aesthetic of the hotel can be alluring by itself, The Reykjavik Edition also promises all its visitors a great visit, given its easily accessible location in the heart of Iceland. Placed in a historic setting amidst the Old Harbor port in Downtown Reykjavik, the hotel is only a few steps away from the city’s most famous hotspots, including the prominent Hallgrimskirkja church and Laugavegeur Street, an exquisite shopping district. The old harbor area where the hotel is placed is also home to abandoned ships with rich cultural meaning, and the Harpa concert hall.
