MORE INFORMATION
Location
The hotel is in an ideal location, within walking distance of most that Reykjavík has to offer; you're close to the harbour, art museum, bakeries and restaurants galore.
Visit the renowned restaurant Apotek - only a few doors down - and the nearby food market and street stalls.
By plane: flights from London to Reykjavík take 3 hours, after which, a taxi takes 45 minutes to the hotel. Paid parking available nearby. Book flights to Reykjavík.
Style
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.

Restaurants & Bars
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.
Restaurant Borg: traditional Icelandic and classic European cuisine. Open Wed-Fri for lunch, Wed-Sun for dinner. Live music on Fri-Sat, 7-9pm.
