101 is Reykjavík’s most fashionable and chic newcomer. Located on a busy corner in downtown Reykjavík, the dreary grey exterior belies a sleek and minimal-ist interior of volcanic black and grey. Overlooking the harbour area, there are breathtaking views of Mount Esja and Faxafl ói Bay. The rooms have been meticulously planned with stylish simplicity in mind—there’s no clutter, just a bed, a chair and plenty of empty space. The gym includes a Jacuzzi, steamroom and geo-thermal pools. You can also get in-house massages. The 101 is perfectly located for business and for enjoying Reykjavík’s restaurants and nightlife.

The prestigious Hotel Borg has been an Icelandic landmark since the 1930s. The original owner Jóhannes Josepsson was considered a visionary in his business—he put forward the notion that top-notch accommodation and fi ne dining could and should be found in Iceland. The hotel houses meeting rooms, a bar and a four-star restaurant. The rooms are all decorated in wonderful art deco style, and each is different, with individual details such as paintings and photographs hung on the walls, and antique wooden beds. It is conveniently located in the centre of Reykjavík just a few steps away from Laugavegur shopping street.

The Hotel Cabin is handily located in Borgartún Street, close to the Laugardalur Valley recreational area and within easy walking distance of the city centre. It has a conference room seating up to 60 people with the latest technical equipment. The rooms are perhaps a bit narrow but what they lack in size they make up for in the quality of the beds and excellent views over Faxafl ói Bay. A particularly welcome option among visitors having diffi culty sleeping in the brightness of Reykjavík’s long summer nights are special rooms with windows facing directly onto the hotel’s corridor.
