Industrial-chic hotel in Reykjavik's creative quarter
Stay right at the centre of Reykjavik’s creative quarter when you book the Grandi by Center Hotels. Set in a former steel factory, it combines modern architecture with an industrial chic aesthetic that nods to the building's heritage, offering a contemporary home-away-from-home in the city.
It's just around the corner from the Old Harbour, where you'll find several excellent museums clustered together, including Aurora Reykjavik (where you can learn all about the science of the Northern Lights), the Saga Museum, and the Reykjavik Maritime Museum. Many whale watching tours depart from this area, too, so if you're hoping to catch a glimpse of Iceland's spectacular wildlife on a boat excursion, this is an ideal place to be.
Although a little removed from the busiest part of downtown, it'll only take you around 15 minutes to reach the main street, Laugavegur, while the area around Ingolfur Square is jam-packed with fantastic places to eat and drink.
Speaking of which, back at the hotel, you can enjoy breakfast or dinner at HÉÐINN, an elegantly redesigned restaurant offering you Icelandic and international cuisine made with high-quality seasonal ingredients. After your meal, head to the bar to enjoy beer, wine and signature cocktails made with local spirits.
In reception, you'll find free-to-use lockers where you can leave your bags and make the most of your time before or after you check out, as well as a cosy lounge area with plenty of sofas and armchairs where you can kick back and relax after a day of sightseeing.
