“Hotel Borg By Keahotels impressed me with its commitment to Art Deco design; the interiors genuinely transport you. Its prime location near Austurvöllur Square makes exploring Reykjavik easy, and the in-house spa's use of local Dr. Bragi products adds a unique touch that I appreciate. While the price is moderate, the high-quality furnishings and historical significance set it apart.”
