About us

Sitting on the most iconic hill in Reykjavik, graced by the grand architecture of Hallgrimskirkja - Hotel Leifur Eiríksson tells a continuative tale of community, creativity and ambition. Run by the same family since 1999 - our beloved establishment is a welcoming escape in the heart of our eclectic capital.

We recognize the surrounding nature of Reykjavik as a true luxury, we still get mesmerized by the ocean waves and birds’ tunes all year round. We encourage our guests to celebrate the vibrancy of the Icelandic food scene, indulge in a good night's sleep, take a swim in the neighbouring pool, inhale the fresh air and build relationships. We think that quiet days are meant for exploring hidden gems, original art and homegrown brands within a stone's throw of our hotel.

The intimacy of our bespoke service isn’t the conventional luxury, instead of an organically tailor-made experience with personal recommendations and local expertise - restaurants, art, wellness, and culture that build the narrative of Icelandic modernity and historic tales. Upon your request we’ll thoughtfully build your itinerary exploring the magic of Iceland - caves, glaciers, hot springs, horses, lagoons and otherworldly water.

As far as the neighbourhood goes, we’ll fill you in on the collage that is the culture of 101 Reykjavik - from coffee shops and indie boutiques, fun hangouts, yummy food, buzzing bars, and the cool 101 crowds. We also love those spots that are a bit raw around their edges - they’re the ideal marriage to the stunning mountains that draw our city.
