Radisson Blu 1919

The stylish Radisson Blu 1919 has hit the jackpot when it comes to location. You’ll find its historic building – which was the headquarters of a shipping company back in the early 1900s – on a street in downtown Reykjavik, with the city’s best attractions within easy reach. You can be at the iconic Hallgrímskirkja Church in less than 10 minutes. Fancy breathing some fresh sea air? The harbour is also close by, and there are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants on route.

The rooms here are all slick and comfortable, decorated in a calm but sophisticated blend of blues, greys and blacks. Each one has been carefully designed to ensure maximum comfort and comes with a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and a private bathroom. Don’t feel like resting? There’s a well-equipped gym with cardio and weight-training kit, if you fancy a workout.
