Love To Explore Rating: Premium
Hotel Reykjavík Saga is a stylish boutique hotel in the heart of the capital. Set on the historic Lækjargata street, it is ideally placed for exploring Reykjavík on foot, with Lake Tjörnin, the cathedral, galleries, independent shops and restaurants all close by. Its design takes cues from traditional Icelandic architecture while introducing a fresh, modern aesthetic, creating a comfortable base for a few days of discovering the city.
The hotel has 130 rooms, split between the main building and a renovated historic house next door. Interiors are contemporary and thoughtfully finished, with a mix of room categories and suites to suit couples, families and longer stays. The overall feel is polished but welcoming, making it an appealing choice for travellers who want city-centre convenience without sacrificing comfort.
At the heart of the hotel is Fröken Reykjavík Kitchen & Bar, an Art Deco-inspired restaurant serving Icelandic dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. An open kitchen brings a lively feel to the dining experience, while a wine room and glass-roofed winter garden add character. Guests can make use of the gym and spa facilities, including a sauna and steam room, or head to the two rooftop terraces for a different perspective on the city.
With its central location, distinctive dining and relaxed atmosphere, Hotel Reykjavík Saga is a strong choice for couples and culture-loving travellers looking to experience Reykjavík’s food, design and local character before or after exploring Iceland’s wider landscapes.
At Love To Explore, we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:
- Central location
- Welcoming atmosphere

FAQs
Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?
The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.
What types of holidays do you specialise in?
Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.
How far in advance should I book a holiday?
There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
