The verdict
The capital's grand design hotel, on the old harbour beside the Harpa concert hall, with rooms by Roman and Williams in blond wood, grey stone and Icelandic wool, many with balconies over the bay and Mount Esja. Tides cooks Icelandic produce, a rooftop bar looks over the water, and there is a nightclub for late nights. One MICHELIN Key.
Reykjavík at its most polished, before or after the road trip.
You want a small, quiet house: this is a large, lively hotel with a nightclub.
Ask for a room with a balcony on the bay side, and go up to the roof at dusk.
The rooms
Two hundred and fifty-three rooms and suites in pale wood, stone and wool, many with balconies facing the harbour, the bay and Mount Esja.
The setting
On the harbour next to Harpa, at the edge of Reykjavík's old centre.
The food
Tides for Icelandic seafood and produce, a lobby bar, a rooftop bar and a nightclub.
Getting there

Good to know
The hotel has a spa, and northern-lights tours pick up in the centre.
