Luxury holidays to Apotek Hotel
It’s a genuine thrill to know you’re staying in one of historic Reykjavik’s most revered old buildings. From the draughtsmanship of Guðjón Samúelsson, the country’s erstwhile state architect, Apotek Hotel’s former apothecary was built in 1917, and counts Iceland’s National theatre building, Hotel Borg, Akureyrarkirkja church and Hallgrímskirkja church as some of the accompanying projects to also have been designed and built by Samúelsson. Today’s incarnation of this famous building comprises 45 rooms, including Junior Suites and a plush Tower Suite. Many of the building’s original features have been kept in place and restored for posterity.
