The hotel's own Grand Brasserie restaurant serves Icelandic and Nordic cuisine, with the Lobby bar, a second bar, Cafe, and Snack bar also on site. For a change of scenery, Laugardalur valley and park is a short walk away, a popular outdoor area. The Reykjavik Food Walk tour can also introduce you to local eateries across the city, a good way to explore further.
The hotel sits in the quiet Laugardalur valley, close to Reykjavík's main outdoor area. Laugardalur Park and the Laugardalslaug pool are within walking distance, and the botanical gardens and zoo are nearby. Downtown Reykjavík, including Hallgrimskirkja and Harpa, is a short ride away. You can walk to Höfði House in 11 minutes, Sun Voyager in 20, and Hallgrimskirkja in 21, with Perlan a 25-minute stroll. The area feels residential and relaxed, with the city center easily reached on foot or by bus.
Hótel Reykjavík Grand is a short hop from Reykjavík Airport (RKV), so a quick taxi or ride-hailing trip gets you there. If you fly into Keflavík International Airport, the drive takes about 45 to 50 minutes, and airport shuttle service or a private transfer can be arranged through the hotel. From BSÍ Bus Terminal, you can take a taxi or public bus to the hotel, which sits in the peaceful Laugardalur valley. Either way, you land in a calm spot with easy access to the city centre.
In the evening, the hotel's own Grand Brasserie and bar serve Icelandic and Nordic dishes and drinks, a cozy option without leaving. Head out for a 20-minute walk to the Sun Voyager sculpture by the water, which is a lovely evening stroll. Hallgrimskirkja, about 21 minutes away on foot, is an impressive sight to see lit up at night. You could also walk 25 minutes to Perlan for views over the city. If you prefer organized plans, evening tours like the Northern Lights Bus Tour with hot chocolate can be booked.
Yes, Hótel Reykjavík Grand is a solid base for exploring Reykjavik, especially if you enjoy walking. From the hotel, you can walk to Höfði House in 11 minutes, Sun Voyager in 20, Hallgrimskirkja in 21, and Perlan in 25. For farther sights like Skólavörðustígur Rainbow Street (2.0 km), The Icelandic Phallological Museum (2.2 km), or The Settlement Exhibition (2.5 km), you can grab a taxi or use ride-hailing. The hotel is also near Reykjavík Airport and the BSÍ Bus Terminal, useful for day trips. With several landmarks within a short stroll, it’s a practical starting point.
