A New Standard of Luxury in Iceland
Conceived by legendary hotelier Ian Schrager in partnership with acclaimed design studio Roman and Williams and T.ark Architects, The Reykjavik EDITION brings world-class 5-star modern luxury to one of the globe's most captivating, sustainable capitals. Poised along the historic Old Harbor port in downtown Reykjavik, the hotel sits immediately adjacent to the iconic honeycomb glass architecture of Harpa Concert and Conference Center, just moments from the cosmopolitan boutiques and cafés of Laugavegur Street.
The hotel's 253 guest rooms and suites are warm, bespoke retreats crafted from warm Nordic ash wood, pale grey oak, and custom Italian furnishings, embellished with hand-selected artwork and ceramic artifacts from local Icelandic craftsmen. Vast floor-to-ceiling glass windows capture changing Arctic light, framing dramatic vistas of the harbor boats, Mount Esja across Faxaflói Bay, and the colorful gables of downtown Reykjavik.
Culinary artistry is centered at Tides, the signature restaurant helmed by Gunnar Karl Gíslason, Iceland’s celebrated first Michelin-starred chef. Here, seasonal Icelandic fare—hand-dived fjord langoustines, Arctic char, and free-range mountain lamb—is prepared over open fire hearths. Social life revolves around the dramatic Lobby Bar with its central volcanic rock fireplace, the intimate Tölt cocktail salon, and The Roof on the 7th floor, offering 360-degree glass-wrapped panoramas for savoring the midnight sun or watching the winter Northern Lights dance across the sub-Arctic sky.
