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.
