A fresh take on history

It all begins with an idea. Constructed in 1908, Gamli skólinn holds a rich history as an elementary school until the year 1960. In 2004, Arnar Sigurðsson took ownership of the deteriorating building and embarked on a comprehensive restoration project, breathing new life into the structure. Today, Gamli skólinn stands as a testament to its heritage, meticulously preserved and proudly operated as Hotel Apartments by Arnar and his family.
