A specular getaway awaits at The Fife Arms in Royal Deeside, a region beloved by Queen Victoria for its majestic landscape and wildlife.

Located in the historic Scottish village of Braemar, The Fife Arms is a five-star Victorian coaching inn that has been imaginatively restored with a contemporary sensibility. Built in the 19th century, The Fife Arms Hotel is a Braemar landmark - its size evidence of the popularity of Braemar in the wake of Queen Victoria's visits and her purchase of Balmoral. Now, The Fife Arms contains over 16,000 antiques, artworks, and curios including several site-specific works by world-renowned contemporary artists.

On offer is two nights in the Fife Arms' Nature and Poetry room, adorned with artwork and objects made from natural materials such as heather, horn, and tweed. The room features a beautiful wooden headboard with words by Scottish poet Alec Finlay carved into it. During your stay, enjoy the world class fine art collection found throughout the hotel, which ranges from Pablo Picasso, Lucian Freud, Gerhard Richter, and Bruegel to site specific commissions from contemporary art stars and watercolors by Queen Victoria and Prince Charles.

The Fife Arms hotel is surrounded by vistas of Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms, overlooking the River Clunie.

Accommodations are for two nights for two guests, subject to availability. Offer is valid until December 31, 2022.
