About us

Hello! Our finest Apartment Hotel has been present for over 10 years. We make the best for all!

The history of The Black Pearl

The owner of the hotel Mr Hol - a Dutchman who locally is known as ‘the man with the hat’ - knows how to take an unfortunate situation and turn it into a business venture. When the financial crisis of 2008 struck, he was faced with not being able to move his investments out of Iceland.

Turning this negative moment into positivity and inspiration, he saw this as an opportunity to re-invest locally. Visiting Reykjavik, he found his very own pearl of fortune when he fell for this black, contemporary, glass rich building that was to become The Black Pearl.

When the plans for the apartment hotel were being developed, he had one primary goal in mind: to become the best hotel in Iceland in terms of service and appearance.

Starting off with just ten luxury suites, Mr Hol carried on developing The Black Pearl to now including a reception area, a multifunctional space for special occasions like events and meetings and 22 fully serviced suites between 60 and 180 m2 with one to three separate bedrooms.
All apartments are tastefully minimalist but with a focus on comfort and practicality. Whether your need a cup of coffee or creating a three-course meal is more your style, the kitchens are fully equipped with built-in appliances and high-end technical facilities. Interconnecting rooms via a balcony are available for families with older children.

Claims to fame

The Black Pearl is getting quite an international reputation. During its ten years in existence, well known DJs have taken residence here, as have documentary makers from World of Travel at the American News Broadcasting Company (NBC). Not only that, but The Black Pearl is also due to appear in Iceland’s famous TV series, The Minister. A stay at The Black Pearl is surely a must when visiting Reykjavik.
