Fosshotel Baron

Just steps away from the harbourside, Fosshotel Baron is an excellent base for a stay in Reykjavík.

Reykjavík’s harbour 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 waterfront is a spectacular place to explore as part of any stay in Iceland’s capital, especially the harbour.

The Fosshotel Baron building itself has connections to more recent history. Its origin stretches 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 originally intended to be a dairy farm, built by a French Baron, which has given the street and the hotel its unique name.

When you choose to stay at this incredible harbourfront location, there is plenty to see just minutes away. Enjoy a scenic walk along the waterside path, visit the prestigious Harpa Concert Hall, and try some of Reykjavík's great restaurants and cafés, all just a short distance from the hotel. Make the most of Iceland with adjacent parking, breakfast available, and a 24-hour reception.

Top 3 Things to Do in Reykjavík

Top 10 things to do in Reykjavík

The Northern Lights

One of the biggest draws to Iceland is the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, a striking natural phenomenon that causes the sky to light up with streaks of dancing colors. The best time to see the Northern Lights in Iceland is between September and April on a dark and cloudless night. You’ll want to escape from the light pollution of Reykjavik but tours can easily be arranged from the city.

The Golden Circle

A popular sightseeing route within easy reach of Reykjavík is Iceland’s Golden Circle, a tour of some of the best attractions in the southwest of the country. Famous sights such as the historical Þingvellir National Park, the awe-inspiring Geysir Geothermal Area and the mighty Gullfoss waterfall are all situated on this route - none are further than a two-hour drive from the capital.

Whale-watching

There’s no better place to book a whale-watching tour than Reykjavík; boats leave daily from the old harbor, just minutes from the center. The main types of whales that are usually spotted in Faxaflói Bay are minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, humpback whales and harbor porpoises - sightings of these majestic creatures are most likely during the summer months.
