Hotel Reykjavík Saga is part of the Íslandshótel group and stands on Lækjargata, one of the historic streets in Reykjavík’s city center. The building was designed to respect the older buildings around it, pairing a modern style with references to Icelandic tradition. The hotel has 130 rooms, with 122 in the main building and 8 in the annex, a newly renovated historic house attached to the main building. Lake Tjörnin, the Reykjavík Art Museum, and the city cathedral are nearby, along with many of downtown’s shops and restaurants. All Íslandshótel hotels hold Green Key certification from the Foundation for Environmental Education, and the group describes itself as the first fully sustainability-certified hotel chain in Iceland.
