Exuding a fusion of simple, clean Scandinavian design and a dynamic urban vibe, the Exeter Hotel Reykjavik offers a truly exceptional Icelandic experience right at the heart of Reykjavik's most prestigious shopping, entertainment, and cultural district. This cool and contemporary four-star design hotel stands stately on the edge of the old harbor, a restoration of a house originally built in 1904, boasting a full access to the riveting natural splendor of northeast Iceland.
Each of the 106 guestrooms at the Exeter Hotel, styled with subway-tiled, walk-in showers and full-size toiletries from a local Icelandic skincare brand, provide comfort and convenience. Offering additional amenities such as a smart TV, minibar, and laptop-compatible safes, these rooms are a haven of relaxation notwithstanding the bustling street outside and the lively bar that resonates with upbeat ambience, popular among locals.
Known for its switch to an unpretentious 'street food' menu, the hotel's in-house restaurant, Le Kock, provides a delightful selection of burgers, wings, fried potatoes, local-brewed beers, and a distinct range of Icelandic cider and cocktails along with its bar. Boosting your morning gastronomic experience, a buffet breakfast at Deig bakery features Scandinavian favorites plus cereals, charcuterie and sourdough bread made on-site.
Less than 10 minutes on foot, the Exeter Hotel Reykjavik situates you in the city's best shopping and dining destination, and a short walk away from Tjörnin lake. Positioned just across the street is the pier where puffin and whale-watching cruises depart for an unforgettable Icelandic adventure. Additionally, the hotel is within walking distance to the Harpa conference and concert hall, Laugavegur shopping street, and the National Gallery of Iceland. Despite being a luxury property in a city not known for edgy design, Exeter proves to be an exception, showcasing loft-style interiors and an unfussy, urban vibe.
