Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina

Berjaya Reykjavík Marina Hótel

Reykjavík, Iceland

Given the building’s history as a former paint factory, it’s easy to see why this contemporary hotel in Reykjavík’s lively marina district tempts with such quirky and playful interiors. But while it has a strong focus on modern design, it also makes plenty of subtle references to the area’s maritime history and culture with crafts, embroidery, vintage photographs, and objects salvaged from the shipyard. All of the 147 individually styled and light-filled rooms and suites feature nautical decor, custom-made Icelandic furniture, wooden flooring, and plenty of natural light. Amenities include a flat-screen TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, minibar, safe, and en suite bathroom with toiletries.

Elsewhere, you’ll find a welcoming restaurant that serves European cuisine and fresh seafood, a relaxed bar for daily happy hours and end of day cocktails, and a friendly reception team who can arrange sightseeing tours and advise on the best local attractions. There’s also a gym with weights, a treadmill, a small climbing wall, yoga mats, and other training equipment in addition to a 26-seat cinema that screens Icelandic films with English subtitles three to four times a week and cartoons at the weekend.

OUR OPINION:

We love the quirky interiors, relaxed vibe, and attentive service at this landmark historical building turned nautical-inspired hotel in Reykjavík’s lively marina district. The sea and mountain views add to its appeal.
