Canopy by Hilton Reykjavik

Canopy by Hilton Reykjavik is in the centre of the city, and couldn’t be more convenient for discovering the gems of Reykjavik and exploring further beyond.

Made up of six connected houses, it is just steps away from Laugavegur, Reykjavik's dynamic main street, which is filled with shops, eateries and pubs, and around the corner from the steel and glass structure of Harpa Concert Hall and Reykjavik harbour, where you will find stunning views of the bay and Mount Esja.

Canopy’s stylish rooms and suites are inescapably modern – think contemporary furnishings and eye-catching angles – and they also pay homage to Iceland’s natural landscapes, with a colour palette by turns icy, oceanic and volcanic. The walls are adorned with the work of local artists from Reykjavik’s thriving arts scene.

All rooms are equipped with 48-inch TVs, mini-refrigerators, plush beds with custom-designed bedding and complimentary Wi-Fi. Upgrade yourself to a suite to enjoy the added space of a living room.

Start your day with a local artisanal breakfast, or order a breakfast bag with fresh fruit, yoghurt and juice to your room. In the evenings you can enjoy tastings of local beverages and spirits before a dinner of locally-inspired ingredients at the Geiri Smart restaurant, whose daily menus are created around what the local fishermen and farmers have to offer - expect dishes like langoustine bisque, beef tenderloin and smoked trout.

Canopy Central offers a coffee shop, a lounge bar and a café, where you can relax with a cup of coffee and a magazine, and pick up the perfect gift for a foodie friend.

There’s no excuse for not keeping active during your time at Canopy. Reykjavik’s a cyclist-friendly city, and bikes are available to rent at the hotel. There is a 24-hour fitness centre with cardio machines, weights and yoga matsand jogging track to help you keep on top of your fitness regime.

The hotel's central location, and Reykjavik’s manageable size, mean the city’s many cultural attractions are within easy reach. Highlights include the stunning Hallgrimskirkja, an iconic church which is among the country’s best-known buildings (take a picture of the city from 73 metres up!) and Perlan, a brilliant museum-meets-restaurant where you can dine with fantastic views over the city and learn about Iceland’s incredible natural phenomena through a range of exhibits.

Reykjavik has cultural events and festivals all year round, focused on food, art, fashion and more. Tours can also be arranged into the Icelandic countryside, for unforgettable experiences such as viewing the Northern Lights.
