The Reykjavik Edition houses TIDES, a signature restaurant where a Michelin-star chef creates menus focused on Icelandic seafood. A rooftop bar on the 7th floor provides panoramic views of the city and the North Atlantic Ocean, a prime spot for northern lights viewing. After dark, an on-site nightclub/DJ and a lobby bar serving local craft beers and specialty cocktails offer evening entertainment options.

Wellness & Spa

The hotel spa includes a steam room, sauna, hammam, and hot tub/Jacuzzi for guest use. Treatment menus offer full body massage, head massage, neck massage, back massage, and couples massage in private rooms. A 24-hour fitness center with Matrix equipment, fitness/spa locker rooms, and a personal trainer on request round out the wellness facilities.

Many accommodations offer sea views, city views, balconies, or terraces, with some rooms offering interconnected layouts for families. A complimentary mini-bar and welcome amenities are provided upon arrival.

Location & Concierge

The hotel sits in central Reykjavik with Harpa Concert Hall a few steps away, Solfar Sun Voyager 7 minutes on foot, and Laugavegur shopping street a 17-minute walk. A 24-hour concierge service arranges tours, including Golden Circle trips and northern lights excursions. Reykjavik Old Harbour is less than 1 km away, offering direct access to whale watching tours.

High-profile international events have been hosted here, including the opening of the world's largest CO2-from-air-removal and -storage plant.

“In my opinion, this hotel stands out with its modern luxury in Reykjavik's heart, offering a unique blend of design and local craftsmanship. The signature dining at TIDES, overseen by a Michelin-starred chef, promises an exquisite culinary experience. I think the rooftop bar, ideal for catching the Northern Lights, and the rejuvenating spa facilities make it a noteworthy destination for both relaxation and cultural exploration.”
