Aberdeen weekend · Where to stay
No Scotland, no party.
Boutique granite stays, country house spas and great-value city centre rooms.
Aberdeen hotels offer outstanding value for a Scottish weekend break. From the 5-star boutique elegance of The Chester to country-house spas at Marcliffe and stylish design rooms at Malmaison, the Silver City sleeps you well for half the price of Edinburgh or Glasgow.
Our top three for a weekend are The Chester Hotel on Queen's Road, Marcliffe Hotel & Spa in Pitfodels for a country-house feel, and Malmaison for boutique flair at a friendly price. All three sit a short taxi from Union Street and the harbour.
The West End around Queen's Road is the smart choice for restaurants and quiet streets. The city centre puts you within walking distance of Union Street, Belmont Street nightlife and the rail and bus stations. Old Aberdeen and the beachfront are ideal for golfers heading to Royal Aberdeen or Murcar.
Most Aberdeen hotels include free parking, a real plus over central Edinburgh. Marcliffe, Norwood Hall and The Marcliffe all have spa facilities, while The Chester features IX, one of the city's best restaurants, on site.
