It would seem so.

The agreement between the current owner of Nordica Hotel, Icelandair Hotels, and Hilton Hotels Corporation, includes an ownership exchange, but Icelandair Hotels will continue to operate Nordica Hotel, Fréttabladid reports.

This was formerly the Hotel Esja. I stayed there on my first trip to Iceland. It was quite nice.

I went to Reykjavik last winter for an attempt at the Northern Lights (unfortunately raining and overcast) and was disappointed at the lack of Hilton properties--I expected to find a Scandic, if only to be comrades with their Nordic peers.
Now that Scandic is breaking off, perhaps this is a sign of a resurgent Hilton in the Nordics. if anything, I look forward to booking at the new location.

And I've LIVED in London.. Reykjavik is expensive, agreed, but they didn't charged me £30 for a light Thai dinner in Iceland.
If anything, I'm hoping the expense of the city will chase off the British Stag/Hen crowds.

Excellent news! Anyone know when the ownership change will go into effect (and of course what category will it be)?
Now if only Starwood would finally get a property in Iceland as well....

There it is: Hilton Reykjavik Nordica
Don't know, when it opened, but I did not see it mentioned here.
With code P63BAB you will get a night incl. Breakfast and double HHonors Base Points from 16.400,00 ISK (ca. 185,- € / 260,- $).
Greetings,
Christian.

Bought a ticket. And made a res for the Hilton. Any news?
Icelandair is having a promo rate so BOS to KEF and back less than $500. Seemed good to me. So a buddy and I will head over. Hotel rate not that bad. Any comments? Everything appreciated.
