Harpa Tónlistarhús - fundarherbergi in 101 Reykjavík, open April–September.
Guests arrive at Harpa Tónlistarhús, Iceland's striking glass concert hall perched on Reykjavík's harbor, and step directly into a venue where architecture and water views command the room.
The fundarherbergi (conference room) transforms into an intimate celebration space with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding sculpture park.
What attendees remember is the walk from ceremony to reception through galleries and along the shore, with the building's geometric facades reflecting light across the landscape.
A really architecturally cool glass building, built in a honeycomb pattern. It sits proudly overlooking Reykjavik Harbour. It's free to enter and wander around to appreciate the design and take in the harbour views. There is a cafe and restaurant too to enjoy.
