The hotel
Small hotel, warm welcome
A newly renovated, family-owned boutique hotel with an intimate, friendly atmosphere, and the added bonus that you don’t have to lift a finger while you’re here.
Our story
A house with a family history
Hotel Lotus has a special place in our family’s history.
The house was built in 1965 by my husband’s mother, Dúa, a strong and independent woman with a great sense of style. She lived in the house with her son on the second floor, while she ran a fashion boutique and a hair salon on the first floor. Her business was named Lotus, which is where the hotel gets its name from.
Dúa had a wonderful sense of style, a love for beautiful things, and welcomed everyone with open arms. When creating the hotel, we wanted to keep a little of her personality in the house, choosing warm colours and thoughtful details to create a welcoming atmosphere.
For us, Hotel Lotus is more than just a place for guests to stay. It’s a house with a family history, and we love being able to welcome people into it just as Dúa did.
Centrally located, close to the sights and sounds of Reykjavík, with free parking for every guest, Hotel Lotus is a cosy place to come home to after a day exploring the city.
