Berjaya Reykjavik Marina Hotel, Reykjavík

Overlooking a boatyard in the harbor, Berjaya Reykjavík Marina Hotel offers convenient access to the city's downtown hub, where you'll find a mix of cultural, culinary, and historic attractions. The towering steeple of Hallgrimskirkja Church is just a 20-minute walk or 10-minute drive, and the cultural center of Harpa is five minutes away by car or 15 on foot. If you're using this historic building as a base to explore Iceland's natural beauty along the Golden Circle, you can reach sites like Þingvellir National Park in just 50 minutes. 

Rooms are modern, with Scandinavian furniture and bold accents. The six Residence Suites take a different approach, capturing an early 20th-century style with vintage furniture and restored original elements. Single and Double Rooms can be quite small, so book a Deluxe, Superior, or Family option for more space. Some options have sea views, while others have balconies that face the sea or the city. All bathrooms come with a rainfall shower, and suites include bathtubs. Accessible rooms are available as well.

Grab a seat in the cozy lounge, which includes a library for you to find some new reading material for your trip. The hotel bar, Slippbarinn, is renowned for its atmosphere and fresh cocktails. In fact, when it opened in 2012, it was the first bar in the city to focus on high-quality cocktails, where everything is made or distilled from scratch. Experience Reykjavík's history firsthand at this bar overlooking the slipway, where you can see ships towed in and repaired.
