Sundhöll Reykjavíkur is Reykjavík's oldest purpose-built indoor swimming pool, a minimalist Art Deco building designed by state architect Guðjón Samúelsson and opened in 1937. Alongside the original indoor lap pool, it now has an outdoor pool, several geothermal hot tubs ('hot pots'), a cold plunge pool, a steam room, and a sauna — all heated with Reykjavík's geothermal district-heating water, the same everyday bathing culture locals use rather than a tourist-only spa.
What to See: Top Highlights
1937 Art Deco Architecture
Guðjón Samúelsson's minimalist white facade with tall, narrow windows — a design landmark in its own right, predating most of Reykjavík's other civic buildings.
Geothermal Hot Pots
Several outdoor hot tubs held at different temperatures, heated directly by Reykjavík's geothermal water supply, alongside a cold plunge pool for contrast bathing.
A Working Local Pool
Still used daily by Reykjavík residents for laps and socializing, offering a more everyday, less touristy bathing experience than the country's famous geothermal spas.
