For seafood, TIDES, the hotel's signature restaurant, serves Icelandic fish and locally sourced meats. TIDES Cafe offers coffee, pastries, and sandwiches for a quick bite. The ROOF, on the 7th floor, has light bites and cocktails with panoramic views. The Lobby Bar serves craft beers and snacks by the fireplace, while TÖLT is a cozy spot for pre-dinner drinks. For a local food adventure, the Reykjavik Food Walk tour is a great way to sample the city's eateries.
The Reykjavik EDITION sits right on the Old Harbor, in the heart of downtown, with the Harpa Concert and Conference Center just steps away. You are a short walk from Laugavegur Street, the main shopping strip, and the Sculpture and Shore Walk runs from behind the hotel along the coast. The Icelandic Phallological Museum is a 2-minute walk, and the Sun Voyager sculpture is 9 minutes away. The area mixes waterfront views with easy access to cultural spots like the Settlement Exhibition and Aurora Reykjavík, both within an 11-minute walk. It is a central, scenic base for exploring the city on foot.
From Keflavík International Airport, the hotel is about a 45-minute car ride. You can take a taxi or a pre-booked transfer directly to Austurbakki 2. If you prefer public transit, the airport bus service drops you at the main bus terminal, from where a short taxi ride brings you to the hotel. Reykjavík has no main train station, so the airport is your primary arrival point. The hotel sits right by the Old Harbor, just steps from Harpa Concert Hall, making the final approach easy to spot.
In the evening, you can enjoy the hotel's own spots: The ROOF on the 7th floor offers panoramic views, TÖLT is a cozy bar with Icelandic spirits, and the Lobby Bar serves craft beers and cocktails. For a night out, Harpa Concert and Conference Center is just steps away, hosting events and performances. The nearby Old Harbor area is a pleasant place for an evening stroll, and the Sun Voyager sculpture is a 9-minute walk from the hotel. If you're up for a short trip, the Lava Show and Aurora Reykjavík are both an 11-minute walk away, offering unique evening experiences.
Yes, the Reykjavik EDITION is a great base for exploring the city. You can walk to the Icelandic Phallological Museum in 2 minutes, the Settlement Exhibition in 6, and Skólavörðustígur Rainbow Street in 6. The Sun Voyager is a 9-minute walk, and Aurora Reykjavík, Lava Show, and Whales of Iceland are each 11 minutes away. FlyOver Iceland is 12 minutes on foot. For farther sights like the Blue Lagoon or Golden Circle, you can join a tour from Reykjavik or take a taxi or ride-hailing service. The hotel sits by the Old Harbor, so you are right in the heart of downtown.
