Icelandic haven in the old harbour
Right on Reykjavík’s Old Harbour, Exeter Hotel has a unique, community vibe that feels rooted in the city’s cultural pulse. Step outside and you’re moments from waterfront galleries, local eateries, and the area’s ever changing artistic scene.
Wellbeing here isn’t an afterthought, it's the whole point. After a day exploring, settle into the sauna for a slow reset, or stretch things out in the fitness room. The courtyard garden becomes an easy hideaway and the open, loft-style lounge acts as a relaxed meeting point where guests and locals mingle through weekly jazz sets, chess gatherings, and music nights.
The hotel also hosts pop-ups for local designers and creatives, so you can really get a sense for the undercurrent of the area (and take home a few brag-worthy souvenirs, while you're at it).This part of Reykjavík rewards the curious. Meander, linger, follow your nose. The hotel’s location makes the city centre an effortless short walk whenever you fancy something new.
Food and drink follow the ethos. Fresh pastries fuel your mornings and comforting street style dishes keep things warm and unfussy. Le Kock, the hotel’s own street style restaurant, serves up burgers, wings and bold comfort dishes made with Icelandic ingredients. The bar pours natural wines, cocktails, and craft beers, with jazz nights adding that soft inner city glow that makes you want to stay just a little longer.
Rooms carry an industrial chic look inspired by the harbour’s warehouse roots, softened with warm textures and contemporary comforts.
If you’re after a Reykjavík stay that blends culture, comfort, and a touch of harbour side serenity, Exeter Hotel taps you straight into the city’s heartbeat.
