The Reykjavik Edition

Official pages rechecked 2 November 2026. Prices and policies are dated observations; unresolved details and booking-specific conditions are qualified below.

The Reykjavik EDITION: harbour location, rooms and paid spa access

The Reykjavik EDITION is a waterfront hotel at Austurbakki 2,101 Reykjavik, beside Harpa. It combines guest rooms and suites with restaurants/bars, a 24-hour guest gym and a spa. The most useful budgeting distinction is that complimentary fitness access does not mean complimentary spa access: the dedicated spa page publishes a separate charge for hotel guests. Official hotel Guest amenities Spa

The hotel suits travellers who want a serviced city base and several on-site dining/wellness choices. A harbour-side address does not establish that every room has a harbour view. Choose a view, terrace or connecting configuration through its actual room category and confirmation, rather than relying on a general waterfront photograph. Rooms and suites

Choose the right room category

The operator's room page explicitly lists 253 guest rooms, including 26 suites and a penthouse. Its amenities page lists 226 guest rooms plus 27 suites, a consistent total when the penthouse is counted among the suites. Separate living and sleeping areas and connecting options depend on the chosen suite. Room categories Amenities

For families, ask for the exact connecting combination, number of beds, maximum occupants and whether a cot or extra bed is approved. For accessible stays, the hotel states that mobility-accessible rooms exist in certain room types; that is a reason to reserve the correct accessible category, not a guarantee that every room or bathroom has the same dimensions. Accessibility information

Spa and gym: two different access rules

The spa lists a hammam, steam room, sauna, lounge and bar. The gym page lists Matrix equipment, free weights, yoga mats and exercise balls on the lower-ground floor. A gym workout and a spa visit are therefore different products even when both are in the same hotel. Spa details Gym

The general amenities page describes spa services as exclusive to hotel guests, while the more specific spa page explicitly publishes a non-hotel visitor rate. We prioritise that dedicated page for the current advertised offer but recommend contacting the spa before making a non-guest journey. Its direct contact is +3545820020 or spa.rek@editionhotels.com. Treatment availability and the relationship between treatment fees and wet-area admission should be confirmed before purchase. Spa booking General amenities

Airport arrival: KEF is not the city airport

The hotel's directions distinguish Keflavik International Airport from Reykjavik Domestic/Private Airport. Its approximate journey estimates are 45 minutes from Keflavik and 8 minutes from the city airport. These are operator estimates, not traffic or winter-weather guarantees. Check which airport appears on your ticket before arranging a car. Getting here

The directions page advertises a private Keflavik transfer starting at approximately ISK 45,000 each way, while its taxi estimate is approximately ISK 20,000 each way. These are different services and approximate published amounts, not binding live quotes. Ask the concierge for a dated price, vehicle size, luggage capacity, child seats if needed and cancellation terms. Do not assume transport is included in a room reservation. Airport transfer estimates

Valet parking is published at ISK 7,000 including tax per 24-hour period. That is a meaningful extra when comparing a rental-car city stay with arriving by transfer. Confirm capacity, arrival procedure and any conditions for vehicle charging separately; a valet listing alone does not verify a charging slot. Parking information

Dining, room service and housekeeping

The property lists Tides, Tides Cafe, The Roof, Lobby Bar, Tolt and Sunset among its dining/entertainment spaces. Those are distinct venues with their own operating patterns. A hotel room booking does not guarantee a restaurant reservation, entry to every event or access to a particular rooftop table. Reserve the venue you actually plan to use. Hotel overview

The amenities page publishes room service from 07:00 to midnight, housekeeping twice daily, complimentary high-speed WiFi and concierge service. These are more useful planning facts than generic luxury adjectives, particularly if you arrive after an evening excursion. Confirm current food availability if arriving around the end of room-service hours, and verify whether breakfast is part of your rate rather than inferring it from restaurant availability. Guest services

Booking and the correct contact

Use +3545820000 for general hotel information. Hotel reservations are listed at reservations.rek@editionhotels.com and +3548004474. The contact page assigns groups of 10 rooms or more to sales.rek@editionhotels.com. Do not route a guest-room request to the hotel's press or careers contacts, even though those addresses also appear on the same page. Official contacts

The reviewed brand pages do not establish a single cancellation deadline, check-in/out time or pet charge applying to every rate. Confirm those in your dated reservation. A flexible offer and a prepaid offer can have different consequences; this guide does not infer refundability from a general reservation link.

Frequently asked questions

Is the spa included with a room? The dedicated spa page lists hotel-guest access at ISK 4,350, while fitness access is complimentary. A package may differ; check its written inclusions. Spa Amenities

Can children use the spa? Published spa admission is 18+. Do not assume a family room creates an exception. Spa age rule

Can I reserve connecting rooms? The room inventory includes Connecting Family Rooms and suite connection options. Have the exact arrangement confirmed. Room options

Is parking free? No. The directions page lists valet at ISK 7,000 per 24 hours. Parking

Can a non-guest visit the spa? Its dedicated page advertises a non-guest rate, despite more restrictive wording on the general amenities page; confirm directly before travelling. Spa

Brand-operated pages checked 1 November 2026. Approximate transfer quotes, room inclusions and restaurant/spa availability should be reconfirmed for the booking date.

What the fresh official pages clarify

The rooms page explicitly lists 253 guest rooms, including 26 suites and a penthouse. The amenities page's 226 guest rooms plus 27 suites is consistent with that total when the penthouse is included among the suites. The room list also includes a Loft King category: its name alone establishes neither a particular view nor your group's occupancy. Room inventory Amenities

For two adults, the published spa admission amounts would be 8,700 ISK for two hotel guests or 20,000 ISK for two non-residents, before any separately priced treatment. These are arithmetic comparisons of the advertised per-person amounts, not a newly quoted package or a guarantee of availability. The spa page describes non-resident access while the amenities page calls the spa exclusive to hotel guests; confirm eligibility and reserve directly before travelling specifically for a spa visit. Spa access and prices

The November 2 review checked the actual room, amenities, spa and arrival pages. It did not establish the cancellation conditions of a particular rate, a room-specific accessibility specification, or live room and treatment availability.
