Character and identity
Opened in 2021 on Reykjavík's Old Harbour, next door to the Harpa concert hall, this 253-room Ian Schrager property is a collaboration between Roman and Williams and local firm T.ark, and it wears its Icelandic context openly. The charred-timber facade nods to volcanic landscapes; the lobby is anchored by a stacked lava-rock totem and a Northern Lights wall projection. Rooms run a minimalist palette of concrete, pale ash and grey oak, warmed with Ístex throws and Le Labo amenities. Tides, from Dill's Gunnar Karl Gíslason, leads the dining; the social-concept spa, with hammam and plunge pool, is the other anchor.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and solo travellers who want a sleek urban base for exploring Reykjavík on foot, with the cooking and cocktail scene built into the building. The social spa, the Friday-only Tölt speakeasy and the Sunset nightclub also pull in those who want their downtime sceney rather than sleepy.
Should look elsewhere:
Families wanting kids' programming, and anyone after a remote, nature-immersed Icelandic retreat with hot springs and aurora from the window. The location is central-city, not wilderness, and the rooms, while polished, lean minimalist rather than plush.
Bottom line
The reason to book here is the package: a genuinely design-led hotel with serious cooking at Tides and a social spa that beats queueing at the public lagoons, all five minutes from Reykjavík's main sights. Spend up for a corner room or suite for the harbour-and-Esja panoramas, and time a Friday night to try for the Tölt password.
