REYKJAVÍK
The Marina and the Marina Residence
These are two hotels, the Marina situated in a completely renovated four-story building and interconnected, the Marina Residence, a luxury small hotel where the emphasis is on the privacy of a home combined with the comfort of a suite.
With scenic waterfront on one side and the bustling city on the other, the location is next to the historical, and still fully functioning, dry-dock called Slippur. The emphasis on blending the dynamic, creative atmosphere of this rapidly developing old harbor district with the country’s strong fishing traditions, both hotels offer everyone the opportunity to see and experience the capital in a most creative and colorful way.
The design of the Marina is a cool and modern style. Higher category rooms with all the usual amenities you will expect in a hotel plus view over either West Reykjavik or the ever-changing North Atlantic and Mt. Esja. The Marina Residence is in a new building, yet the style is reminiscing the old Reykjavík upper class taste. Expect to find authentic art by renowned artist from the first half of the 20. century on the walls.
