The hospital as a whole was moved in 1939, just outside of Fáskrúðsfjörður where it served as an apartment building. It’s now been moved back to its original location and is surrounded by other houses that have been renovated in the same old French-style as the hospital. The 26-room hotel (soon to be a 32-room hotel) includes a restaurant and a bar, as well as an underground tunnel set-up to look like a French Yacht.
Memorial stones have been placed in the river that runs by the hotel to honor the memory of lost French fishermen.
In 1903 a hospital was built for French fishermen on the East coast of Iceland, in the town of Fáskrúðsfjörður. More than 100 years later that same building has been turned into a hotel.
