Reykjavík’s harbour is a huge part of the city’s identity. Meaning “Smokey Bay” in Icelandic, Reykjavík was one of the first places Viking settlers landed on the rocky shores of Iceland. As a result, the waterfront is a spectacular place to explore as part of any stay in Iceland’s capital, especially the harbour.

The Fosshotel Baron building itself has connections to more recent history. Its origin stretches back to the 19th century, as one part of the hotel sits within the first concrete building ever constructed in Reykjavík, built in 1898. The building was originally intended to be a dairy farm, built by a French Baron, which has given the street and the hotel its unique name.

When you choose to stay at this incredible harbourfront location, there is plenty to see just minutes away. Enjoy a scenic walk along the waterside path, visit the prestigious Harpa Concert Hall, and try some of Reykjavík's great restaurants and cafés, all just a short distance from the hotel. Make the most of Iceland with adjacent parking, breakfast available, and a 24-hour reception.
