The Reykjavik Edition

Arriving on the scene in November 2021, The Reykjavik EDITION answered the call for a true 5-star property in the city. Its central location along the Old Harbor and across from the Harpa center makes it ideally situated for walking to the city center while remaining removed from the foot traffic.

• Weekly chef's table events at Tides Restaurant, run by the former chef of Iceland’s only Michelin-starred restaurant
• Connecting room options, ideal for families or friend groups
• The rooftop bar, offering some of the best panoramic views of the ocean, mountains and Reykjavik skyline
• The expansive EDITION spa hammam and sublime lounge and smoothie bar

Set along the harbor across from the Harpa Convention Center, the 253-room Reykjavik EDITION is an exciting 5-star addition to the city. Though the property is tucked away from the busiest streets, it is still within walking distance of the city center, making it ideal for exploring on foot. Reykjavik EDITION embodies an Icelandic sense of place while still maintaining the EDITION brand’s contemporary, design-forward feel. This is reflected in the rooms, which are clean and minimalist with Icelandic touches, such as faux-fur rugs, local wool blankets and landscape photographs of the surrounding region. Those looking for a true harbor and landscape view should opt for the corner rooms or suites.

A highlight of the hotel is the impressive culinary program, led by renowned chef Gunnar Karl Gíslasson, previously at Iceland’s only Michelin-starred restaurant, Dill. Reykjavik EDITION’s main restaurant, Tides, serves up daily caught fish, high-quality meat and a variety of locally sourced ingredients and wine pairings in a modern yet hygge setting. Guests can also enjoy the buzzy lobby bar, where it is rumored that if you ask for “the password” you might be given the details to access the gorgeous new speakeasy, TÖLT.

The hotel’s lower levels are home to a nightclub, as well as the EDITION spa, which is fully equipped with a hammam, sauna, steam room and lounge bar, ideal for those looking to unwind. THE ROOF is located on the hotel’s 7th floor and is a great place for a pre-dinner drink and panoramic views of the mountains and ocean surrounding the city.

Families and couples seeking a centrally located, buzzy five-star option in the city with a wide array of on-property amenities
