CENTERHOTEL THINGHOLT IS LOCATED NEXT TO REYKJAVIK’S MAIN SHOPPING STREET, LAUGAVEGUR. THE BUILDING, WHICH ORIGINALLY ACCOMMODATED THE ÍSAFOLD PRINTING FACTORY FROM 1943, HAS NOW BEEN CONVERTED INTO AN EXCLUSIVE DESIGN HOTEL AND IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF ICELANDIC CONTEMPORARY DESIGN.
DESIGN
CenterHotel Thingholt is designed by Icelandic architect Gulla Jonsdottir. Gulla owns G+ Gulla Jonsdottir Design in Los Angeles and she has taken part in designing hotels in the US like Crescent Hotel in Beverly Hills and Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
The floors are made of leather tiles and the lobby walls are decorated with salmon-leather tiles. When entering the hotel there’s a long black lava textured wall, covered in dark glass masks representing the hidden people of Iceland and a small waterfall trickling down over them.
