Fosshotel Baron
Just steps away from the waterside, Fosshotel Baron is an excellent base for a stay in Reykjavík.
Reykjavík’s waterfront is a huge part of the city’s identity. Meaning “smokey bay” in Icelandic, Reykjavík was one of the first places Viking settlers landed on the rocky shores of Iceland. As a result, the marina is a spectacular place to explore as part of any stay in Iceland’s capital.
The hotel itself has connections to more recent history. Fosshotel Baron’s origin reaches back to the 19th century, as one part of the hotel sits within the first concrete building ever constructed in Reykjavík, built in 1898. The building was intended to be a dairy farm built by a French Baron and both the name of the street and the name of the hotel are derived from this background.
In this incredible location, the possibilities are truly endless. Enjoy a scenic walk by the seaside, visit the prestigious Harpa Concert Hall and try some of Reykjavík's great restaurants and cafés, all just a short distance from the hotel. Fosshotel Baron is an accessible and comfortable stay after a long day of seeing the best of Reykjavík’s marina.
