It began as a passion project to restore historic landmark homes to their former glory, but it quickly evolved into a way to share Reykjavik’s timeless charm and heritage with guests from around the world.
Reykjavik Historic Home was born out of our passion for restoring historical houses in the city center. What started as a personal project to preserve Reykjavik’s architectural heritage grew into a venture that allows us to share the charm of these unique properties with guests who appreciate their quaint beauty and history.
Our approach to restoration is thoughtful and respectful. We retain original materials and architectural elements wherever possible, blending old-world charm with modern luxury to create stylish, comfortable spaces that cater to today’s travelers. Each property is a labor of love, combining Reykjavik’s rich history with contemporary hospitality.
We take pride in offering exceptional service to ensure your stay is unforgettable. From pre-stocking your fridge with Icelandic favorites to organizing private dining experiences, we go above and beyond to make you feel at home.
Located in the heart of Reykjavik, our properties are steps away from the city’s best cultural attractions, restaurants, and shopping. Explore iconic landmarks like Hallgrímskirkja Church, discover local galleries and museums, or indulge in the vibrant food scene—all within walking distance.
With easy access to public transport, including the airport bus and local tours, our neighborhood offers the perfect mix of convenience and charm, making it an ideal base to experience Reykjavik’s wonders.
