This is a Reykjavik landmark. Built in the 1930's in an Art Deco style, the Borg oozes elegance and understated luxury. It has just 51 rooms and 5 suites, each individually characterised with its own colour scheme and signature look.

All rooms are well appointed. The high quality beds ensure a good nights sleep, the furnishings are rich and sumptuous and the stylish bathrooms have their own phone, in fact there are at least three phones in every room! They also have satellite TV, video, CD, radio and internet access as well as an in-room safe, well stocked mini-bar and tea and coffee making facilities. Room service is also available.

The gourmet Palm Court restaurant presents international and regional cuisine in a gracious setting and the wine list is extensive. The lively Kaffibrennslan, part of the hotel, serves over 60 brands of beer and an excellent bar menu. Its laid back atmosphere and friendly staff make it a popular choice amongst locals and visitors alike. It is also a great place to sit and relax with a cup of coffee whilst ?people watching?.

The Borg overlooks the delightful Austurvollur, Reykjavik's town square, along side the Cathedral and Parliament buildings. The square is home to the capital's official, beautifully lit Christmas tree and it is just a few steps away from Laugavegur, Iceland's premier shopping avenue.

From the moment you walk into the hotel lobby, the ambience is that of a bygone era. Although a favourite among royalty, heads of state and the rich and famous (previous guests have included the King of Denmark, a Prime Minister of Israel, Kevin Costner and Paul McCartney), every guest is treated to superb service - a stay at the Hotel Borg is one you are never likely to forget.
