Reykjavik Lights sits just above the parks and gardens of the city’s historic ‘hot spring valley’, Laugardalur. It was once Reykjavik’s main source of hot water, where locals would gather to do their laundry the geothermal way. Now it’s a leisure-seeker’s wonderland, home to the Botanic Garden, the Family Park and Zoo, and the city’s largest swimming pool. As well as a 50m pool, and a thrilling 86m waterslide, Laugardalslaug continues the geothermal tradition with a salt water pot that draws heated water directly from the sea.

From the midnight sun to the magic of the Aurora Borealis, Reykjavik is a city inspired by light. In summer, locals make the most of never-ending days to travel the country, climb a mountain (after supper!) or play a midnight game of golf. A certain still falls over the city on a sunny Reykjavik night that is something special to see. And nowhere better to see it from than Reykjavík Lights, with its unbeatable views across the bay towards the mountains.

You can walk in all directions from our hotel. Both downtown and the surrounding area. You can rent an e-scouter, take a walk to The Sun Voyager, hop on a bus or go on a trip outside the capital. Blue Lagoon, Sky Lagoon, Gullfoss and Geysir, there are endless possibilities and adventures.

Every room at Reykjavik Lights is unique. Decorative details from the ancient Icelandic calendar add a touch of individual character to a pleasing selection of bright and attractive rooms where comfort is king.
