“Hotel Holt intrigues with its dedication to Icelandic art, a collection that genuinely sets it apart. The location places you within walking distance of key Reykjavik spots, while the hotel itself maintains a quiet, almost hushed atmosphere. I think it's a worthwhile choice for those who appreciate art and a more contemplative travel experience.”
