A New Ice Hotel: W Reykjavik in Iceland

February 25, 2008 at 12:49 PM | 2 Comments

Tipster Kal B sent another Starwood hotels tip our way: plans for a W Hotel in Reykjavik, Iceland.

The W will be part of the Icelandic National Concert-Conference Center and Hotel which will house the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, according to this presentation report. (Note: The link opens a PDF).

There's not much here about the hotel except that it will have 400 rooms. The concert hall center is expected to open sometime in 2009. Somehow we are more excited for W Reykjavik then W Hoboken.

    I noted that the presentation was dated 2006, and Starwood never announced a W in Reykjavik.  Would love to see them do this, but it seems more a concept than a sure thing at this point.  The Icelandic economy is a shambles right now.

    yeah i noticed the date too but the icelandic concert hall is being constructed so its possible they are just waiting for better economic times to seal the deal. of course, i am just speculating...
