Fosshotel Baron - Historic Downtown Hotel in First Concrete Building of Reykjavík with Northern Lights Viewing Season

Located near the seafront in downtown Reykjavík, this historic Reykjavík hotel occupies part of the city's first concrete building from 1898. The 120-room Fosshotel Baron stands within 0.5 miles of the Sun Voyager sculpture and Laugavegur shopping street. Guest rooms feature flat-screen TVs, laptop-compatible safes, air conditioning, and tea/coffee facilities. Several rooms are fully accessible for guests with disabilities, while some units offer historically-themed decor reflecting the building's heritage. The restaurant serves breakfast with freshly baked bread, waffles, fish, cold meats, and cheeses, while the bar offers drinks in the evening. A 24-hour front desk provides tour booking services and car rentals. The property includes safety features such as carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and first aid kits. The hotel sits 0.3 miles from dining options like Harry's Reykjavik and Geysir Bistro, and 1 mile from the National Museum of Iceland.
