Kvosin Hotel

Smack bang in the centre of downtown Reykjavik, Kvosin Hotel is charmingly historic on the outside, but inside you’ll find swish, Scandi-style interiors and a bar that'll please the pickiest connoisseur. Another winning feature of this former townhouse is the size of its rooms: all but the smallest have a lounge area and marble-topped kitchenette – worth its weight in gold if you’re looking to keep costs down. If you don’t mind splashing a little, brace yourself against the elements with an Icelandic G&T at Klaustur bar, then head out to take on the city’s burgeoning resturant scene. Thankfully, with a location as central as this, pretty much every place worth its salt is just a few minutes’ walk away.

Kvosin Hotel is in the historic Kirkjuhvoll building in the heart of downtown Reykjavik.

Top floor apartment

This 60sq m apartment is named after the winged figures who were said to ferry warriors to Valhalla, where they guarded them for future battle. It’s so named because guests not only enjoy high-flying views over the city, but become a kind of guardian, with a portion of every stay in the suite going towards supporting Icelandic Paralympians. Flooded with light thanks to its large windows, the suite has a large, open-plan living area with a wooden dining table with seating for six; doors lead to two large terraces with views over the city.
