Aberdeen
So
you're in Aberdeen, perhaps on business, maybe on a golf tour, definitely
ready to relax and kick back in Aberdeen's most sought-after boutique
hotel, bar and brasserie.
You explore. A low-lit den of Champagne, wine and cocktails, big deep sofas and a whisky snug. The brasserie is cavernous with open kitchen, intimate booths and its own butchery. This is no ordinary brasserie, This is no ordinary hotel my little silver darling.
Malmaison Accommodation
The fun continues in-room. Lying back on a bed that could accommodate your entire clan you flick on the plasma TV and breathe a sigh. In no time at all you've swapped the tarmac of Gatwick for the gorgeousness of the Granite City. Clever you. Dinner is your reward. But not before a long soak in the tub.
Rooms at the Aberdeen Mal
Find yourself on the super-slinky side of the Granite city. Gigantic bed,
flat screen plasma TV, showers with super-powers and toiletries that are
yours for the taking. Amid a flood of tartan, velvet and a splash of celtic
rock'n'roll the new Dons of hospitality have arrived. Now there's an offer
you can't refuse?
Everything you would expect from a Mal only smaller and just as perfectly formed. There are four cosy doubles located in the original building, all with double bed, ensuite shower and the full set of Mal ingredients.

for romance, indulgence, the best possible business trip, or even the
perfect honeymoon abode, we have the suite for you.
The Balmoral Suite
Live like the Queen herself for a while, take a break from duty in the
Balmoral Suite. Among the usual Mal details, imagine a sleigh bed with
Egyptian cotton sheets, super fast internet access and exceedingly generously
sized toiletries to take back to one's other residence. Perhaps a royal
appearance from your private balcony?
Craithes Suite
With a monumental king size sleigh bed, widescreen TV and obligatory roll-top
bath, your suite is your castle with the Craithes. What more could one
ask for? Maybe a look out across Aberdeenshire from the shared terrace?
One soak in the tub later and you're reclining, waiting. You have a man
about to bring you up Steak Frites from the kitchen.
Dunnottar Suite
The second of our Terrace Suites, the Dunnottar Suite has a giant bed,
wide-screen TV and its own lounge area with a funky U-shaped couch. Enjoy
the Dunnottar's fabulous bathroom which features a free standing roll-top

The Bar at the Aberdeen Mal
There is another kind of liquid gold that runs through this town. It starts
at the Mal. From this low-lit den of superstar wines, spectacular Champagnes
and whisky for true spiritualists flows our liquid gold. You prop yourself
up against the bar as your mojito life-line is thrown to you.
The night closes and you eye up a devastatingly smooth single malt from the Whisky Room. You gesture to the waiter as a metal key opens up whisky heaven. You just struck lucky.
The Whiskey Snug
Whiskey is the new wine!
You're either a grape or a grain man, and neither the two shall cross.
Be both in the Whisky Snug with The Scotch Malt Whisky Society. Literally
encaged in a room of malts, you sit back be transported to heather painted
glens and windswept munros in the sniff of a dram.

difference.
