Nestled on the vibrant waterfront of Reykjavík’s bustling harbor, right next to the iconic Harpa Concert Hall, The Reykjavík Edition provides an undeniably luxurious and wonderfully cozy experience right in the very heart of the city. This stylish hotel is the brainchild of Ian Schrager, the co-founder of the legendary Studio 54, who pioneered the boutique hotel concept back in 1984. Now, in partnership with Marriott, Schrager presents his signature series of EDITION hotels, offering unparalleled hospitality.

From this incredibly convenient location, you can effortlessly immerse yourself in all that Reykjavík has to offer its visitors. Whether you desire to explore the unique shops and boutiques that line Laugavegur Street or stand in awe beneath the impressive and majestic spire of Hallgrimskirkja Church, both are conveniently located just a short ten-minute journey away. For those arriving or departing, Keflavík International Airport is approximately fifty minutes away, a journey mirroring the time it takes to reach the restorative waters of the famed Blue Lagoon.

Behind the hotel’s striking and modern black facade, which is thoughtfully designed to represent Iceland’s dramatic volcanic landscape, you will discover over 250 exquisitely appointed rooms. Each room showcases a warm, minimalist style, carefully curated with custom-made furniture and authentic local textiles, creating a truly immersive Icelandic ambiance. The majority of the rooms feature expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, while select rooms boast private balconies offering captivating views of the harbor, the architectural marvel of Harpa, or the serene inner courtyard. Several rooms offer the convenience of two beds, and interconnecting room options are readily available for families or groups. The bathrooms are designed for relaxation, featuring rainfall showers and exclusive custom Le Labo toiletries. For a heightened sense of luxury, the suites offer separate bathtubs for a soothing soak. The pinnacle of opulence is found in the Penthouse Suite, which features a stunning marble bathroom, a cozy fireplace, and a spacious terrace providing breathtaking ocean and mountain views.

Schrager’s original vision for the boutique hotel was to encourage social interaction in the lobby and communal areas, and The Reykjavík Edition wholeheartedly embraces this concept. The hotel provides a variety of inviting and chic spaces designed for guests to relax and socialize. Indulge in modern Icelandic cuisine at Tides, the hotel’s exceptional on-site restaurant, masterfully led by Michelin star chef Gunnar Karl Gíslason. For panoramic vistas, head to the rooftop terrace and soak in the incredible views. Alternatively, discreetly inquire with the staff for the exclusive password to the hotel’s secret speakeasy bar, known as Tölt. The spa is a sanctuary of relaxation, featuring a juice and smoothie bar, private treatment rooms, and a traditional hammam for a truly rejuvenating experience.
