“Reykjavik has an incredible energy and is a fitting setting in which to introduce our first Canopy by Hilton hotel,” said Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development, Europe & Africa, Hilton Worldwide. “Iceland has grown in stature as a destination, owing to the efforts of Icelandair, which has improved the country’s connectivity and visibility as a global destination. Visitor numbers to Iceland have more than tripled in the last 15 years, and Canopy Reykjavik City Centre will add fresh momentum to the city’s vibrant travel scene.” The 115 room hotel will be located on Hverfisgata St, a thriving neighbourhood in the centre of the city. A rooftop bar and restaurant will serve drinks and food throughout the day, while guests can also visit a bistro, sampling fresh, local produce while taking in the city sights. Wi-Fi and breakfast will be included in the room rate, along with a property-specific gift to welcome guests on arrival. The hotel will be operated by Icelandair Hotels, a subsidiary of Icelandair Group and a long term partner of Hilton Worldwide, having operated Hilton Reykjavik Nordica since it opened in 2007. Canopy Reykjavik will participate in Hilton HHonors.
