OUR ROOM

With an array of 53 rooms at Sandhotel, from single rooms to the Sandhotel suite, this luxurious boutique thrives on its perfection. Interior designer Gudbjorg Magnusdottir is the architect behind the elegant interior of the hotel. With his uncompromising attention to detail, we can expect nothing short of perfection. From the marble bathrooms to the wooden oak floors… Finally, all the rooms have an Art Deco quality, respecting the history of the building. Walls filled with not only modern design, but also contemporary artwork making each room very individual.

WHY I LIKE IT

You know I love a good slice of cake, and there is no better place for it than in one of Iceland’s best bakeries, Sandholt Bakery. Established in 1920, the bakery has a preserved heritage with the Sandhotel community delighting its guests with a mouthwatering treat at the end of long days of exploration in one of the most captivating European capitals. Delicious.
