comfort and affordability. Now in eight locations across the country—including two

ample, the latest addition to the hotel chain, Reykjavík Marina, which opened in the
capital’s old harbor earlier this year, features maritime-inspired rooms and luxury
suites with ocean views. Icelandair Hotels offers accommodation of the highest
quality, and emphasizes superior service, comfortable surroundings, fresh, locally-
sourced food and attention to detail. The chain’s eight hotels in Iceland are the ideal
gateway to an unforgettable travel experience, be it in the bustling city of Reykjavík
or the serene countryside. icelandairhotels.com
For the Love of Fur
Celebrating his brand’s 35th anniversary this year, Eggert ‘the furrier’ Jóhannsson
is proud of the fact that he has managed to maintain Icelandic production after all
these years. Located in the heart of Reykjavík on Skólavörðustígur 38, his shop is
simply called Eggert feldskeri. Eggert’s creations are complemented by imported
goods. Making use of what nature has to offer and not letting anything go to waste
is Eggert’s top priority. His ‘Surf and Turf ’ collection made from Icelandic lamb
and ocean leather exemplifies this philosophy. Eggert has gained international
recognition for his work and the majority of garments sold in his store are custom-
made in house. The invitation to you all is to experience Eggert’s dedication to his
craft and his customers. furrier.is.
The Scent of a Viking
Want to smell like a Viking? If the new fragrances of aftershave and eau de toi-
lette by True Viking is anything to go by, you should. True Viking products are
available again after several years off the market and the company now aims to
present a new line of cosmetics annually. The design of its perfume bottles by
Hallvarður Aspelund is truly unique, resembling the characteristic Viking drink-
ing horn. True Viking products are available in the Duty Free Store at Keflavík
International Airport, in stores and hotels around the country and online on
trueviking.is.
