“Staying here places you right in the heart of the city, inside a striking art nouveau building with a past life as an apothecary. The bar and restaurant resonate with a lively atmosphere, and the breakfast buffet is ample, although the hot food isn't for everyone. I think this hotel stands out for its seamless blend of historical charm and modern luxury-it's a sophisticated base for exploring Reykjavik.”
