The Hotels
Groupon's Guide To Reykjavik
Set in the northernmost capital city in the world, against a backdrop of ice-blue glaciers and snow-capped mountains, Bjork Hotel, Hotel Cabin and Hotel Klettur offer an authentic Nordic experience by serving as starting points for exploring the thermal spas, Viking legends and thriving nightlife of Reykjavik. Each hotel is located within easy reach of restaurants, cafes, art galleries and museums as well as several shopping centres of Iceland's capital city.
• Resting close to Laugavegur, the city's main shopping street, Hotel Bjork boasts 55 spacious en suite rooms fitted with satellite TVs and hot drink-making facilities, while its Potturinn og Pannan restaurant serves a variety of Icelandic and international dishes.
• Just a short walk from the city centre and Laugardalur Park, Hotel Klettur boasts a minimalist decor with black and white colour schemes, and a bar serving a range of Icelandic beers.
• Nestled on the shoreline, with the botanical gardens, zoo, and Laugardalur swimming pool within walking distance, Hotel Cabin delivers a buffet restaurant with light bites and a salad bar to keep hunger pangs at bay.
One of the safest and cleanest cities of modern times, Reykjavik is located on the south-western coast of Iceland and it’s also the world’s northernmost capital city.
With more than 100 pubs and clubs, many of them found on Laugavegur Street, a wide choice of beers, Iceland’s drink of choice since 1989, are available for sampling.
An iconic landmark of the city, the looming Hallgrimskirkja Church offers visitors panoramic views of the city. Standing 15 metres high and weighing 25 tons, the church's pipe organ is one of its key features, while the statue of Leifur Eiriksson, the first European to discover America, guards the entrance. The capital’s name translates to 'Smoky Bay', after the columns of steam that rise from the hot springs which can still be visited today.
