Canopy by Hilton Reykjavik City Centre in 101 Reykjavík, open AprilSeptember.

Located on Smiðjustígur street in Reykjavik's vibrant city centre, Canopy by Hilton rises above the Icelandic capital with modern architecture and sweeping views of rooftops and distant mountains.

The hotel's contemporary design and prime downtown position place you steps from local restaurants, shops, and cultural landmarks.

Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the venue frame Iceland's dramatic landscape while keeping guests connected to the energy of the city.

Superb hotel! Very stylish, clean and comfortable place to stay. The location is spot on for exploring the city and close to bus stop 6 (if you're booking tours). Rooms were very comfortable, with everything you need and although small we had absolutely no issues with this. Breakfast was very nice, with plenty to choose from. We also ate in the bar one night, chose the burger, which was one of the best I've ever had! The staff were all very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend.
