Silica Hotel, Reykjavík Hotels
Contemporary and stylish hotel with warm minimalist rooms, balconies, and a private lagoon
Overview
Walk to the Blue Lagoon in just 10 minutes when you stay at the Silica Hotel, a stylish modern hotel located 20 minutes from the airport and 45 minutes from Reykjavík. Reach Selfoss, the nearest starting point of the Golden Circle, in just over an hour. Sites like the massive Gullfoss Waterfalls and Þingvellir National Park are all between one to two hours away by car. If you’d rather discover the area on foot, there are various paths along the Reykjanes Peninsula, where you’ll find mud pools, hot springs, and lava fields, and you can hike up the extinct Þorbjörn Volcano, a 5-minute drive or hour hike.
The lagoon-filled landscape is the focus of this hotel, whose Scandinavian-style minimalist rooms highlight the volcanic and geological features that surround the building. Neutral tones, warm wood, and straight lines and angles create a calming atmosphere, while floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies bring the fantastic outside in. Book your room based on whichever sight moves you: lava formations, mountain views, or mineral-rich lagoon waters. All have walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads, and there are accessible options for those with mobility needs.
Decompress in the hotel’s private lagoon or make use of the complimentary entrance to the more popular Blue Lagoon. You can indulge in different treatments in the hotel’s lagoon, including the in-water massage that is characteristic of the area. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you can take your pick from the options surrounding the Blue Lagoon, like Lava, built directly into a lava cliff, or the Michelin-rated Moss. Other facilities include a small gym, breakfast area, and free parking for guests, while families can enjoy amenities like robes and floats for the kids.

Choosing the right time to visit Iceland depends on what you would like to see and do. To see the Northern Lights, visit in winter—and thus brave ultra-short days and brisk weather. If your goal is to hike, road trip, and otherwise explore outdoors, the best times are late spring and early fall. Summer months bring great weather and long days, but also attract big tourist crowds.
Where should I go in Iceland?
Iceland has much more to offer than the popular (and crowded) Golden Circle and South Coast areas. We highly recommend exploring Iceland’s remote regions such as Snaefellsnes Peninsula, the Westfjords, Lake Myvatn, and the East Fjords. See our recommended tours & itineraries to get ideas on how to plan your trip to Iceland.
How many days do I need?
You can have an epic Iceland experience when you spend at least 5 days. Shorter trips are possible but won’t give you enough time to explore beyond the Reykjavik area and the western section of the South Coast. With 8 days or more, you can complete the famous Ring Road and see sights that most tourists miss, like Godafoss Waterfall, the unique volcanic hotspots surrounding Lake Myvatn, and the Westfjords.
Getting around in Iceland
Most travelers drive themselves in Iceland during the summer season (Mid-April to November), and some opt for small group or guided tours during the winter season when weather, wind, and limited daylight can make driving more difficult. The Ring Road is Iceland's iconic multi-day road trip (typically 7-10 days), with many opportunities to extend further to more remote areas such as the highlands, the Westfjords, and northern coast.
