Iceland: Urban lifestyle hotel brand CityHub has opened its first property in Iceland with a 93-key hotel in Reykjavik.
CityHub Reykjavik offers 89 pod-style hubs – prefabricated units designed in collaboration with Studio Uberdutch – and four accessible rooms. The property has been developed in partnership with interior designers HAF Studio.
Guests can check-in 24/7 via CityHub’s kiosks and use RFID wristbands for access to their hubs, as well as its self-service bar with a range of wine, spirits, soft drinks and local craft beers on tap. The bar is located in an open-plan lobby and lounge, and up on the roof is a hot tub.
Sem Schuurkes, co-founder of CityHub, said: “We’re passionate about creating spaces that not only offer incredible guest experiences but also contribute positively to the environment.
“With CityHub Reykjavik, we’re offering a fresh take on affordable, modern travel in one of the world’s most stunning destinations. Iceland is often seen as a luxury escape, but we’re breaking that mould – bringing a tech-enabled, sustainable, affordable option for travellers who want an authentic city experience. From our rooftop hot tub to our expert local CityHosts, we’ve created a space where guests can truly connect with the city while enjoying all the modern comforts they would normally expect,” he added.
Hafsteinn Júlíusson, industrial and interior designer at HAF Studio, said: “We are proud to collaborate with CityHub on the design concept and styling of CityHub Reykjavik. Alongside our talented team of designers, we set out to capture the vibrant landscape of Iceland with bold colours inspired by the city’s colourful nature. Having now seen our vision come to life, we are excited to provide visitors with a modern, authentic and eco-friendly accommodation that best showcases the rich offerings of this dynamic city.”
