There's a clear Art Deco theme, from the furniture to the overall style. Icelandic strong-man Jóhannes Jósefsson is the man behind the vision - and in building Iceland's first luxury hotel, he's created an iconic landmark. There are black and white photos of locals scattered about, which creates interest.
We really appreciated the tips from staff on where to go whilst in the city. It was so invaluable and helped shaped our day's plans.

The restaurant's décor is smart and so is its food offering. Fresh, local fish and seafood feature heavily, with dishes such as langoustine and scallop vol-au-vents and gravlax. The rack of lamb was cooked to perfection and the prawn cocktail à la Borg was delicious.
