A visit to the Faroe Islands isnt something that would usually grace the top of a things to do in 2014 list. But why? we ask. The Faroe Islands boasts a stunning landscape with beautiful coastlines, fjords & Lords of the Rings-esque dramatic scenery (without the scary eye on the top of a hill), as well as its own unique culture & cuisine. Its basically the perfect place for anyone looking to pack their camera & hiking boots & try somewhere different. The unique four-star structure of Hotel Føroyar emerges out of the hillside overlooking Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands. With a roof clad in grass & lined with a series of shimmering panoramic windows, the hotel puts you in a prime position for taking in the stunning natural landscapes, whether from behind the glass or out & about, on foot. The brainchild of the renowned firm of architects, Friis & Molke, the hotel is clearly Danish by design. Youll find long passageways punctuated by light & airy rooms featuring Montana & Philippe Starck design. Sleek modern furnishings contrast with the outside views of rugged nature, aimless sheep & circling seabirds. Koks restaurant serves Faroese specialities & international dishes, washed down by fine wines from the hotels own impressive cellar.
