Location

Sand Hotel By Keahotels is situated in downtown Reykjavik, directly above the historic Sandholt Bakery, one of the city's oldest establishments. This prime location allows easy access to significant attractions like Hallgrímskirkja Church. Guests can explore the dynamic cultural scene just steps away from the hotel.

Historical Significance

The hotel is located near Guðsteinn Eyjólfsson's Gentlemans' Store, established in 1929, reflecting Iceland's rich history in tailoring.

This combination of history and craftsmanship enriches the guest experience.

Each morning, a complimentary breakfast buffet offers a variety of juices and freshly baked items.
