The Reykjavik EDITION
Next to Harpa on Reykjavík’s Old Harbour, The Reykjavik EDITION brings Ian Schrager’s polished social-luxury formula to Iceland with 253 rooms, rooftop views and a lively collection of restaurants and bars.
The Reykjavik EDITION sits directly on the Old Harbour beside Harpa Concert Hall, with the city center and Laugavegur shopping street only a short walk away. Mountains and water frame the hotel more strongly than the surrounding urban fabric.
The property has 253 guestrooms, including 26 suites and a penthouse, with interiors designed as warm contemporary refuges from Iceland’s climate. Floor-to-ceiling windows are central to the experience, particularly in harbor-facing and corner categories.
The design balances dark Icelandic tones, tactile materials and EDITION’s signature low-lit social spaces. A social spa concept and fitness facilities add wellness without turning the hotel into a conventional destination spa.
Food and drink are a major reason to stay, with Tides, multiple bars and a seventh-floor rooftop that becomes especially compelling during bright summer evenings or clear winter nights. The public spaces are intentionally energetic compared with the quieter guestrooms above.
The Reykjavik EDITION is best for travelers who want Iceland’s capital to feel cosmopolitan without losing sight of the landscape. Its harbor setting, architecture and social scene make it a particularly strong first or last stop on a wider Iceland itinerary.
