Who The Reykjavik EDITION suits — our verdict first
The Reykjavik EDITION is the Miðborg pick for luxury stays in Reykjavik: harbourfront EDITION with rooftop bar and Harpa Concert Hall views. Book it when this district fits your daily plan. Choose Iceland Parliament Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton when that geography wins; choose Fosshotel Reykjavik for a different angle.
Getting there from Keflavík International (KEF)
From KEF, the Flybus or a taxi is typically 45–55 minutes to central Reykjavík. Domestic RKV is a different, much closer airport.
Build buffer for peak traffic, rail works and late-evening congestion. Rideshares and taxis remain the comfortable choice with heavy luggage; rail wins when you travel light and schedules align.
Where it sits in Reykjavik
The Reykjavik EDITION sits in Miðborg (Austurbakki 2). Austurbakki on the harbour beside Harpa and the old harbour walk. Neighbourhood choice decides the trip more than the star plaque — match sightseeing, beach, dining or business logistics before you book on rate alone.

Rooms and what you actually get
Published inventory is roughly 243 rooms and suites across Deluxe, Premium, Suite, Edition Suite categories. Ask for a higher floor or quieter wing if street noise worries you, and read the live partner rate for breakfast inclusions rather than assuming the headline price is all-in.
View categories and renovation status vary — confirm the exact room type on your voucher.
Dining and the stay rhythm
The Reykjavik EDITION carries on-site dining typical of its class (Rooftop bar, Spa, Fine dining among the headline facilities). The neighbourhood still carries many evenings — match restaurants, beaches or nightlife to the district before you lock the hotel.
Dietary needs vary by property; confirm with the hotel if that is a hard requirement.
