Green Globe is a 360-<br />

degree sustainability<br />

certification, that<br />

ensures our very best<br />

efforts in every as<br />

pect of the daily operations<br />

of our hotels.<br />

The harder it is to<br />

achieve, the simpler it<br />

is to maintain. This has<br />

been our experience.<br />

Setting a high bar, and<br />

subjecting ourselves to<br />

scutiny that leaves no<br />

stone unturned, means<br />

that we are now at<br />

liberty to focus on our<br />

good atmosphere and<br />

hostmanship, and not<br />

worry about whether<br />

our efforts have been<br />

thorough enough.<br />

EY<br />

JA<br />

One of the younger<br />

members of our Guldsmeden<br />

family lives<br />

in Reykjavik, and her<br />

name is Eyja Guldsmeden.<br />

This lovely hotel<br />

is a modern former<br />

office building, and<br />

therefore quite different<br />

from most of our other<br />

buildings, which are<br />

typically turn-of-thecentury<br />

European, and<br />

we were very excited<br />

to see how our messy<br />

bohemian style and unstructured<br />

maximalism<br />

would translate into<br />

a modern, more gritty<br />

environment – and<br />

we´re happy to say that<br />

the operation was a<br />

success! Eyja couldn´t<br />

have turned out better –<br />

the classic Guldsmeden<br />

design touches thrive<br />

with a more modern<br />

approach, and Eyja is<br />

a lovely example of the<br />

natural progression of<br />

the Guldsmeden Hotels<br />

style that happens<br />

with each new house!<br />

The hotel is located in<br />

the centre of Reykjavik,<br />

in the up-and-coming<br />

neighbourhood around<br />

shopping street Laugavegur,<br />

with a view<br />

of the Esja mountain.<br />

66 Guldsmeden (formerly<br />

Carlton) opened<br />

in 2002 as the first of<br />

the Guldsmeden Hotels<br />

in Copenhagen,<br />

cementing our position<br />

as pioneers of the new<br />

Vesterbro! We´ve been<br />

through a number of<br />

renovations and expansions<br />

along the way, and<br />

the house now has a total<br />

of 74 lovely rooms,<br />

with the Carlton Cantina<br />

café at its very heart.<br />

With Vesterbro´s gritty<br />

glamour and love<br />

of life just outside the<br />

door, 66 Guldsmeden<br />

is a warm and secluded<br />

haven, giving you<br />

exactly what you need<br />

for a perfect stay in Copenhagen.<br />

There are<br />

66<br />

so many great places<br />

in this neighbourhood<br />

– a huge selection of<br />

restaurants & cafés,<br />

great shopping if you´re<br />

after something cool<br />

and unusual, art galleries<br />

and music venues,<br />

and lovely parks just a<br />

short walk away. Ask<br />

us, if you need pointers<br />

or recommendations!<br />

We look forward to getting<br />

to know you – join<br />

us for a drink, a coffee,<br />

a chat or just a relaxing<br />

moment in our cozy<br />

lounge and terraces.<br />

Libelulle<br />

Villa Libellule was built<br />

in the 1920´s, in the<br />

beautiful Belle Epoque<br />

style, with stucco-ornamented<br />

ceilings, high<br />

wall panelling, oak parquet<br />

floors, ornate fireplace<br />

and wide glass<br />

insert doors with the<br />

original faceted glass.<br />

The house is furnished<br />

in our trademark Guldsmeden<br />

style, with<br />

four-poster beds, large<br />

lounge sofas, and original<br />

works of art collected on<br />

our trips to Bali.<br />

Villa Libellule has 6 double<br />

bedrooms, 2 cosy living<br />

rooms with balconies overlooking<br />

the street, kitchen<br />

and dining room.<br />

In the garden, amongst citrus<br />

trees and the flowering<br />

multicolour bougainvillea,<br />

you will find an outdoor<br />

spa and a fully equipped<br />

outdoor kitchen with a<br />

dining table large enough<br />

for the whole houseful of<br />

people.<br />

Menton is situated on the<br />

sparkling Côte d´Azur,<br />

close to the Italian border,<br />

and combines the best of<br />

Italian and French cuisine,<br />

culture and ambience.
