Hotel Phoenix offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, a truly homey and distinctly vintage experience that stands apart from the more contemporary options available. Nestled conveniently near the end of Laugavegur, Reykjavík’s vibrant and bustling main shopping street, the hotel provides easy access to the heart of the city. Guests can readily explore the downtown area and reach prominent landmarks such as Harpa, the iconic concert hall and conference center, and the National Gallery of Iceland, a treasure trove of Icelandic art, in approximately 20 minutes.

A leisurely stroll of just over 10 minutes will lead you to Hallgrimskirkja, the city’s instantly recognizable and visually stunning church, an architectural marvel that dominates the Reykjavík skyline. The surrounding neighborhood is rich with cultural and culinary attractions, providing a wide array of opportunities for exploration and discovery. Indulge in the local cuisine, immerse yourself in the art scene, or simply wander through the charming streets and soak up the atmosphere.

Hotel Phoenix is proudly run by two amiable Icelandic men, adding a personal touch to the guest experience. The hotel boasts a limited number of rooms, just under ten in total, each offering a unique and distinctive character that veers away from the prevalent modern Scandinavian aesthetic often found throughout Reykjavik. Instead, the rooms are decorated in a sweetly old-fashioned style, reminiscent of a bygone era. Picture chandeliers casting a soft glow, patterned bedspreads adding a touch of vintage charm, delicate dried flowers adorning the space, and carefully selected vintage furniture pieces that evoke a different perspective of the 1960s. This is not the sleek and minimalist ‘mod squad’ style, but a more comforting and undeniably charming aesthetic nonetheless.

Guests can choose from a variety of room categories, including Singles, Doubles, and Triples, catering to different travel needs and group sizes. While the décor embraces a vintage feel, all rooms are equipped with modern amenities to ensure a comfortable and convenient stay. Enjoy the convenience of blackout curtains for a restful night’s sleep, flat-screen TVs for entertainment, and meticulously renovated bathrooms featuring contemporary fixtures and finishes.
