About KEX
KEX first started in 2011, when a businessman and a set designer met at an abandoned biscuit factory in a strange corner of Reykjavík while scouting a location for an upcoming film. While the movie never got made, the vision for the set remained.
The film treatment soon became the outline for a business plan to create a real place to hang out, where travelers and locals could both feel at home. They bought the biscuit factory, and KEX was born.
As more friends, craftspeople and experts joined the team, KEX became what it is today: a design-focused space filled with salvaged materials and pieces from around the world, and a social hotel where people from anywhere can gather to enjoy great food and drinks, hear music, and be inspired. You don’t have to speak Icelandic to understand, all you have to do is step inside
