Review

With an ever increasing demand for hotel rooms in Reykjavik, the owners of the popular Borg Hotel acquired the beloved landmark known as the Reykjavik Apothecary and have transformed it into a sister hotel next door. The five-story building, which was designed by legendary Icelandic architect Gudjon Samuelsson, now houses 45 guest rooms as well as a trendy all-day restaurant called Apotek Kitchen & Bar. The interior design mixes historic touches like sculptures by Gudmundur Einarsson with Scandinavian style furnishings, hardwood floors and all white tiled bathrooms. Room sizes range from small standard singles to junior suites and one very memorable Tower Suite (though the bathroom layout in some rooms is odd).

Who Should Stay

Design lovers who appreciate a sense of place.
