The Reykjavik EDITION embraces the magic of Iceland for an unforgettable getaway
There’s never been a better time to visit Reykjavik as it’s popularity continues to soar with travellers across the world. Words by Lewis Corner Reykjavik’s popularity as a must-visit destination has swelled over the past decade – and immediately during the car ride from the airport to Iceland’s capital city, it’s clear to see why.
Mystical mountaintops form a scenic backdrop fitting for a fantastical fairytale, while roads cut through moss-flecked lava fields and traffic whizzes past plumes of hot steam erupting from the natural geysers in the distance.
You instantly feel like you’ve escaped reality, surrounded by nature in its unspoilt magnificence. It comes as little surprise then that Ian Schrager – the mastermind behind EDITION Hotels – was keen to add it to the property’s list of locations.
Launching at the end of 2021, The Reykjavik EDITION is perfectly situated in the downtown of Iceland’s premier city. Placed on the harbour front, its ebony façade of shou sugi ban timber fits beautifully with the scenic views surrounding it.
