Hotel Reykjavík Grand is the biggest business hotel in Iceland, providing guests with a first-class experience. The hotel offers modern and stylish venues perfect for any kind of event, workshop, meeting, conference and wedding. With easy parking, just a 40-minute drive from the airport, located in the business district and both Green Key and Nordic Swan Ecolabel certified, what more could you ask for?
The land of fire and ice is the ultimate destination for any business trip, conference, workshop or event. Iceland is a land of spectacular contrasts and natural beauty, known for its volcanic landscapes, stunning glaciers, dramatic waterfalls and majestic mountains. Its pristine wilderness makes it the perfect spot for mixing business and adventure – and the location in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean is ideal.
“We host a lot of companies that have branches in both the United States and Europe. Iceland is the perfect middle, and there is so much to do here. This is where business meets adventure, and the flight connections are very good,” says Íris Tara Sturludóttir, hotel manager at Hotel Reykjavík Grand.
The ultimate destination for business and adventure
If you are thinking of hosting your next business event in Iceland, you need the right hotel. Hotel Reykjavík Grand is just what you are looking for. The hotel is located in the business district and is a popular spot for both international and domestic business events of all sizes. It offers large, stylish spaces that can accommodate anywhere from five to 300 guests.
“At the hotel, we receive large MICE groups, but we also do events such as weddings thanks to our modern and stylish venues with lots of natural daylight,” tells Sturludóttir. “Our rooms are spacious and vary in size from 23m2 to 40m2. We also have several family rooms.” The hotel is conveniently located close to the biggest swimming pool in Iceland, the zoo and the biggest park in Reykjavík, making it ideal for both business and family trips.
Of course, you should also explore the Icelandic capital while visiting. Reykjavík is a vibrant and dynamic city that blends modernity with traditional charm. It boasts a lively cultural scene, with art galleries and museums, and there are natural wonders aplenty to explore as well. You should also treat yourself to a dining experience at one of the many amazing restaurants in the city.
Speaking of food, Hotel Reykjavík Grand has its own restaurant, Grand Brasserie. Here, you can choose among dishes cooked with the finest ingredients. Whether you fancy a burger or more traditional Icelandic cuisine, the brasserie can accommodate your taste buds. The hotel also offers a top-notch breakfast with different breads, fruits and much more to keep you energised throughout the day. When it’s time for some self-care, you will find both a spa and a gym at the hotel.
Sustainability at the forefront
Iceland is known for its hospitality and friendly locals, and Hotel Reykjavík Grand is no exception. You will feel welcomed from the moment you park your car, and the staff will go above and beyond to ensure that you have the best possible stay. This also includes taking care of the environment and the hotel is both Nordic Swan Ecolabel and Green Key certified.
“This means that everything from laundry soap and napkins to shampoos and conditioners are environmentally friendly,” says Sturludóttir. “Of course, the spa only uses products that are Nordic Swan Ecolabel certified. And with Green Key, we are committed to reducing consumption of resources and motivate our staff and guests to act responsibly.”
Although Hotel Reykjavík Grand is already the largest business hotel in Iceland, the hotel has plans to further expand. Soon there will be a conference centre that can host several hundred guests, so if you have a big event coming up, the hotel can host anything from large conferences and exhibitions to big weddings.
Hotel Reykjavík Grand is located in the business district of Reykjavík. The hotel offers more than 1,950 m2 of event space that can host anything from small meetings to large conferences, exhibitions, and dinners. The hotel offers free parking to all guests.
