Chester Hotel – Queen’s Road, Aberdeen
Granite is again in abundance at The Chester Hotel (*****) which, like the Malmaison, is in Aberdeen’s Queen’s Road. The Chester Hotel successfully melds its heritage with contemporary design. The striking listed mansion house was previously Simpson’s Hotel but has been benefitted from a substantial investment and refurbishment since being relaunched by experienced hoteliers Graham and Gillian Wood in 2014. The hotel’s 50 guestrooms are all elegantly furnished but the two Club rooms at the top of the hotel are particularly special, with views of the city, super king size beds, rainfall showers and luxurious sofas.
