About us

Born and raised in Reykjavík - we bring local life, Icelandic soul and a warm welcome to every stay.

Rooted in Reykjavík

We started with one hotel and a whole lot of heart. Still family-run. Still Icelandic. Still Reykjavik rooted. And still all about giving our guests the warmest, quirkiest, most unforgettable welcome in the city center.

Who we are

The family

Born here, built for you

We’re Center Hotels – a family-run Icelandic hotel group, located in the center of Reykjavík. Not the outskirts. Not “just outside the city.” Right in the middle of the magic. Our journey started with one small hotel and a big dream – built on Icelandic roots, family values and a love for sharing our city. We’re here to welcome you like family, show you our city’s creative soul and make sure you leave feeling like Reykjavík is yours.

Fair & Icelandic

Equality has always been a key part of how we work. We’ve been recognized by FKA’s Equilibrium Scales for having no gender pay gap among employees in roles of equal responsibility and that’s something we’re truly proud of. Everyone deserves to feel valued, respected and treated fairly. That’s the kind of workplace we believe in – and work for every day.
