Our story

A home away from home in Reykjavík

Hotel Lotus has a special place in our family’s history. The house was built in 1965 by Dúa, a strong and independent woman with a great sense of style, who ran a fashion boutique and a hair salon named Lotus on the first floor.

When creating the hotel, we wanted to keep a little of her personality in the house: warm colours, beautiful things and thoughtful details that make you feel welcome.

Close to the sights and sounds of the city, with free parking at the door and the airport shuttle stopping outside, it’s an easy, calm base for exploring Reykjavík and beyond.
