“Warm, comfortable hotel perched on Reykjavik's vibrant Laugavegur shopping street. The decor nods to Iceland's artistic legacy, blending modern comforts with treasures of Icelandic design. There's a simple restaurant on the ground floor and the allure of a cult bakery right next door. A great stay. ”

Sandhotel Reykjavik, Iceland

Sandhotel is situated in the heart of Reykjavik's hip shopping street, Laugavegur, and is bordered by Iceland's oldest gentleman's tailor and a cult bakery. Warm staff and thoughtful touches including a mobile phone, and chic comfortable rooms with locally sourced organic toiletries, make it a great place to stay.

Sandhotel

Don’t let Sandhotel’s gritty name fool you: this boutique hotel in central Reykjavik is a sweet confection whipped up by the pâtissiers behind beloved Icelandic bakery Sandholt. The eatery is just next door, but Sandhotel’s friendly team can often deliver a basket of warm cinnamon-spiced buns to your super-soft bed on-demand, and wares from their neighbour, Iceland’s oldest tailor, if you’d like a polo-neck with your pastry. Don’t spend all day preening and pigging-out: there’s a list of day-trips longer than an Icelandic summer to try and Reykjavik’s main street to ramble down.
