Skene House, Aberdeen’s premier accommodation provider for nightly, short and extended stays, has relaunched its Skene House Whitehall offering. This follows a £320,000 refurbishment programme, attracting those seeking long-stay accommodation in the city.
The family-run business which includes sister properties at Skene House Rosemount and Skene House Holburn, offers the flexibility and convenience of an apartment with the addition of hotel services.
A total of 20 properties in Skene House Whitehall have been upgraded: 12 suites in the secluded Grosvenor Terrace have been fully upgraded and a further eight within the Esslemont Avenue and Whitehall Place properties refurbished.
Charles Skene, founder of Skene House Group, who was recently awarded with the CBE for services to business and enterprise education, said: “Repositioning Skene House Whitehall into a longer stay offering plays to its residential feel. We continue to offer the same attention to detail and service which resulted in Whitehall being the No 1 hotel on Trip Adviser for over six years running. Our personalised service creates a home-from-home for our guests.
“The price-point we can now offer is proving compelling to a client base that has had its own challenges and pressures of late. We’ve had an encouraging start to 2018 and our longer-stay packages are proving popular, particularly from companies who are relocating personnel, those on fixed-term contracts and individuals or families working in the city on projects lasting from weeks to months.”
All suites at Skene House Whitehall provide guests with the opportunity to make their space their own, providing a tasteful, neutral backdrop to introduce their own personality and soft furnishings, should they so desire. Visitors can relax in the comfort of their own 1, 2 or 3-bedroom apartment, for seven nights or more, with secure off-street parking, without having to worry about the co-ordination of utility bills or needing to extend rental agreements – it’s all taken care of.
Overlooking Skene Whitehall’s tranquil private gardens, guests can enjoy the quiet setting whilst being only a stone’s throw from Rosemount’s independent shops and eateries, and less than a ten-minute walk to the West End’s boutiques and Union Street.
What’s more, they have the support of 24-hour concierge staff and the knowledgeable reception teams and as well as accessing free Wi-Fi.
