Located 650 metres from The Reykjavik Maritime Museum of Vikin, the designer property is also within walking distance from entertainment venues like Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre. The nearby cultural sights are the art museum "National Gallery of Iceland" (700 metres) and the huge 1990 stainless-steel Sun Voyager Sculpture (1.2 km).
Standing just 1.3 km away, the Lutheran Hallgrimskirkja Parish Church is a hard-to-miss divine tourist destination.
