Reykjavík
Large suites on the upper floors of the Höfðatorg tower, with wide views over the city and bay.
Reykjavík is compact, creative and easy to love: colorful corrugated-iron houses, a cluster of galleries and bakeries, and a harbor that glows in the long summer evenings. Its small hotels lean toward calm Scandinavian design, with natural materials, good restaurants and staff who know where to find the best coffee.
The area around Austurvöllur square and Laugavegur puts shops, restaurants and the Harpa concert hall within a short walk. The old harbor is livelier by night; the streets around Hallgrímskirkja are quieter.
The city's geothermal pools are a daily ritual, so pack a swimsuit. Winter brings the northern lights and short days, summer almost endless light. Many hotels include breakfast and arrange day trips to the Golden Circle and south coast.
