OUR STORY
founded by literature
Tucked into the street of Hafnarstræti, Skáld is a testament to Akureyri’s living story and the beating heart of Icelandic literature. This historic artery still holds traces of its past: timber houses, harbour tales, and winter light glowing across Eyjafjörður in the distance. Here, the quiet power of the North is preserved in both the natural and built environment. Skáld is an extension of this—an homage to the timeless voice of the poet whose stories leave the page and enter the room.
Our home on Hafnarstræti ties us to Akureyri’s living story
This gentle main street carries the steady rhythm of everyday life, footsteps, greetings, the hum of small shops and cafés, and the warmth of a town that moves at its own Northern pace.
Once the historic spine of Akureyri, Hafnarstræti still holds traces of its past: timber houses, harbour tales, winter light glowing on snow‑covered roofs.
Here, the spirit of Eyjafjörður is close
You feel it in the crisp sea air on bright mornings, in the softness of long summer evenings, and in the quiet charm of winter nights when the town glows from within. Hafnarstræti is not grand; it is intimate, a street of stories, where history lingers and life unfolds gently.
