Best for: Experiencing the One Everyone Talks About
Since its opening in 2021, the Edition Hotel in Reykjavik has garnered significant international attention, and with good reason—it may just be the finest property yet in Ian Schrager and Marriott’s esteemed portfolio. Renowned for its design-centric approach, the hotel nestles into one of the city’s most coveted neighborhoods, offering stunning views of Iceland’s breathtaking glaciers, majestic mountains, and urban landscapes—all framed beautifully by floor-to-ceiling windows. For the best perspective, don’t hesitate to request a corner suite.
The rooms exude a cozy yet stylish atmosphere, boasting thoughtfully curated local touches. Guests will find luxurious bed throws from Icelandic wool brand Ístex and striking landscapes captured by homegrown photographers. Each space is enhanced with bespoke Italian furniture and Le Labo’s freshly crafted fragrances and toiletries, ensuring every detail speaks to quality and comfort.
A culinary journey awaits with a diverse array of dining and drinking options that cater to every hour of the day. Start with a rejuvenating cup of coffee at Tides Café after a long flight, savor a refined Nordic dinner at the Tides restaurant, or unwind with a creative Brennivín cocktail at the speakeasy-inspired Tölt bar.
For relaxation, the spa is a standout, equipped with a hammam, a variety of Icelandic steam rooms, and innovative social areas inviting even non-spa enthusiasts to unwind. And if you’re lucky, head to the roof terrace, where you might glimpse the mesmerizing Northern Lights. The hotel even provides a special wake-up call for those ethereal moments.
