CONVENTIONs
Haven of
Creativity
At Hótel Glymur, you
will find state-of-the-
art facilities for all kinds of
meetings and conferenc-
es for up to 60 people.
Overlooking Hvalfjörður
fjord, only a 50 minutes
drive from Reykjavík and
80 minutes from Keflavík
International Airport, the
hotel welcomes guests every day, all year round. By the hotel, there
is also a helipad.
At the hotel you will find a conference room fully equipped with
Wi-Fi, projectors, blackboards and everything else required for
productive work. Moreover, especially designed for meetings and
creative workshops, Hótel Glymur’s latest addition is the Villa of
Creativity. There you will find a large conference table seating
up to 12 people, high-tech conference equipment and a 40-inch
wide screen TV set. The professional aura is perfected with a black
leather sofa, glass tables and elegant chairs. To break up the day,
guests can step out to the verandah for a breath of the fresh and
clean Icelandic air, or even soak in the outdoor hot tub to enhance
the creative flow.
According to Hótel Glymur’s manager, Ragna Ívarsdóttir, it is
becoming increasingly popular to break up the working day and
lighten the atmosphere with an activity of sorts, organized by the
hotel. “There are many to choose from, for example sailing, sea
angling and bird watching. At the nearby Bjarteyjarsandur, guests
get to taste gourmet Icelandic cuisine straight from the farm.
Others might prefer the 4x4 jeep rides up the mountain Botn-
sheiði which give a spectacular view over Hvalfjörður. The hotel’s
location is also very convenient for day trips, for example to the
Golden Circle or Snæfellsnes peninsula”.
In addition to the hotel building itself, Hótel Glymur offers
several private villas, ideal for small groups. At the hotel guests
enjoy high quality meals prepared on site. And after a long and
productive day, what better way to relax than in the outdoor
hot pots?
for a successful meeting, what could be better than the private and peaceful setting
of Hótel Glymur, with no distractions except perhaps the beautiful landscape?
