Iceland Parliament Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton

The Iceland Parliament Hotel, part of Hilton's Curio Collection, is at Thorvaldsenstræti 2 beside Austurvöllur square in central Reykjavik, Iceland. The address places it next to the Alþingi parliament building, the cathedral and the Hotel Borg, in the most historic part of the capital region's main city. Laugavegur, the Old Harbour and the Harpa concert hall are all a short walk away, and the central bus stops are close by. The hotel occupies a purpose-built complex that blends new construction with the character of the old downtown district, and the design draws on Icelandic themes and the nearby political and cultural history. It is classed as luxury, with indicative double-room rates from roughly ISK 40,000 to 68,000 per night depending on the season. Room types include Deluxe Rooms and Suites, with the suites offering more space and upper-floor outlooks across the square and city. Amenities include a restaurant, a bar, Wi-Fi, a spa and a gym, which makes the property one of the few central hotels with in-house wellness facilities, useful in winter when outdoor time is limited by short daylight. Dining on site covers breakfast, lunch and dinner, and the bar serves as a gathering point in the evening for both guests and visitors from the city. Service is polished and international in style, aimed at couples, business travellers and guests who want a full-service hotel in the middle of the city. Tour desks and reception staff can arrange Golden Circle, South Coast and northern lights excursions, with pick-up from the hotel. The location also suits travellers without a car, since museums, galleries, restaurants and shops are within a few minutes on foot. As with other hotels on the square, weekend evenings in downtown Reykjavik can be lively, so guests sensitive to noise may prefer a room away from the street side.
