Scene
Elegant and understated contemporary decor
Black Pearl – Reykjavik Finest Apartments stands
out on a street of nondescript buildings thanks to its bold, five-story black
facade and large geometric-inspired windows. It was built in 2013, and everything looks brand new. The interiors are contemporary in style, featuring modern
Scandinavian design aspects. The small lobby is understated and minimalist,
punctuated by squares and rectangle shapes created by the sharp angles of
the black leather sofas, a square brown rug, box-like shelves, large
flat-screen TV, and neon lights that frame the walls. With its high price tag, the
property is clearly geared toward high-end travelers and is popular with
couples visiting the city as tourists. The spacious suites and fully-equipped
kitchens also attract families looking for the conveniences of apartment-style
accommodations.

Art Museum is just a block away, and the Volcano House Exhibition Center is directly across the street. Reykjavik Harbor is a four-minute walk away, and the
