The Fife Arms

$$$$ | Mar Rd., Braemar, AB35 5YN, Scotland Fodor's Choice

This opulently quirky, art-filled boutique hotel is a much-needed addition to Braemar's rather thin lodging portfolio. Each room is an art installation in its own right, melding dreamy fantasy themes with heritage elements—think tweed, tartan, velvet, polished mahogany, and four-poster beds. Wood-fired cuisine in the Clunie Dining Room, malt whiskies and craft ales in the Flying Stag bar, and smart drinks in Elsa's cocktail bar add to the elegant mix.

Pros

  • Fabulous, art-filled rooms
  • Locally sourced game, salmon, and seafood on the dining menu
  • Great cocktails

Cons

  • Very expensive
  • Minimum two-night stay for best rates
  • Some may find taxidermied animals in rooms and public areas distasteful
