Berjaya Reykjavik Marina Hotel

Wander a further 15 minutes from the hotel to arrive at The Harpa concert hall – the cultural and artistic hub of Reykjavik and another masterpiece of modern architecture. Take a guided tour or feel free to explore the building at your own pace. The Harpa hosts events throughout the year, ranging from high-profile music acts to smaller local productions, so make sure you book early to avoid missing out.

The capital is Iceland’s main seaport, so expect only the freshest seafood from the dining scene around here. Think spectacular platters of shellfish, chilled lobster, and traditional Icelandic takes on traditional fish and chips to tantalise your tastebuds. Don’t worry if seafood isn’t your thing, international restaurants are everywhere in Reykjavik – serving up classic dishes around the world to satisfy every kind of palate.

You don’t have to travel far for great food, either. The hotel restaurant – Slippbarinn – serves up a breakfast buffet plus an extensive á la carte menu at lunch and dinner. Slippbarinn even has its own bar, with master cocktail makers creating unique concoctions for you to sip while watching the ships roll into the harbour. Prepare to be spellbound by this magical part of the world.
