Reykjavik Residence Hotel, Reykjavík, Ísland

            These two historic buildings in the city center of Reykjavík are home to the Reykjavík Residence Hotel, which I stayed at with my family when I traveled there back in December. The first building in the set, located along Hverfisgata, was built in 1914 in the National Romantic style, and features an orthogonal geometric motif on the exterior, and stands next to two vernacular wood-frame cottages. The other house, located on Veghúsatígur, a small laneway to the rear, was built in 1920, and served variously as a soap and margarine factory, a publishing company, printing press, bookshop, art gallery, and the home of the Lindarborg Preschool, which has since moved next door into a newer building, with an association of astrobiologists taking up residence in the attic level for several years. The building had many extensions added during the mid-20th Century to house all these functions, though the additions were later demolished to make way for the current Preschool building. Today, this is one of the more interesting places to stay in Reykjavík, with apartment-style accommodations and hotel-style services, and is conveniently located near the city center and a bus stop for tourist excursions.
