The EDITION arrives in Reykjavik's old port with its New York design and its spa facing the Icelandic mountains.
The Reykjavik EDITION
From
696.344 €
“700 m² Spa with panoramic sauna overlooking the Faxaflói fjord and the snowy peaks.”
The Reykjavik EDITION occupies a contemporary building on Austurbakki, facing the basins of the old port. We enter a lobby of black volcanic stone and bleached oak, Nordic light filtered by six-metre bays. The rooms play Scandinavian sobriety: Icelandic wool, tanned leather, grey marble bathrooms. The 700 m² spa offers sauna, hammam, heated pool with view over the Faxaflói fjord. The restaurant serves contemporary Icelandic cuisine, cocktail bar open until 1am. From 696 € the night, we pay for the EDITION signature and the portside location, two minutes from Harpa and the historic centre. Booking score 8.8/10 on 680 reviews, which remains solid for a recent address ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the EDITION to design travellers seeking a contemporary pied-à-terre in Reykjavik, between nature excursions and urban evenings. It's an address for thirty-something/forty-something couples, northern lights weekends, stopovers before the Golden Circle. Families find their place here (family rooms available), but the clientele remains predominantly adult, drawn by the spa and the late-night bar.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The building is a contemporary five-storey construction, raw concrete façade and large glazed bays. Interiors by Ian Schrager and his team: black volcanic stone on the floor, bleached oak woodwork, blown-glass pendant lights. Ceiling height of 3.20 metres in the common areas. Rooms between 28 and 65 m², all with port or mountain view.
