Malmaison is proud to reaffirm its commitment to Scottish tourism with a £1.8million investment made to transform its Grade-II listed Aberdeen hotel, demonstrating confidence in the region despite recent challenges in the local economy.
The investment has transformed the hotel’s guest rooms and public areas, including the Bar & Grill - one of the city’s top dining spots for enjoying signature dishes like Aberdeen Angus beef from local producer, Donald Russell.
In a bold departure from classic tartan, the refreshed rooms incorporate the brand's striking signature style, featuring vibrant design schemes and artwork inspired by cultural influences from Aberdeen, including iconic pieces that pay homage to Aberdeen-born singer-songwriter, Annie Lennox.
Martin Brown, general manager at Malmaison Aberdeen, said: “Aberdeen is a city with incredible potential, and we are thrilled about what the future holds. Aberdeen is on the cusp of an exciting tourism revival, driven by the strategic investment in VisitAberdeenshire’s Framework for Growth which is helping set the stage for the region to become a leader in Scottish tourism.
With the Port of Aberdeen set to welcome 40,000 cruise visitors in 2025 and exciting developments in tourism, Aberdeen is firmly back on the map. We're ready to embrace this momentum and continue delivering exceptional experiences for guests”.
Martin continues: "Whilst the hotel market has faced challenges, we firmly believe in the city's resilience and growth opportunities. Malmaison Aberdeen is poised to be at the heart of this revival, and we can't wait to welcome guests back to a refreshed, contemporary space that blends bold design with the warm Scottish hospitality we're known for”.
Scott Harper, chief operating officer for Malmaison and Hotel du Vin said: “I am confident that our investment in Malmaison Aberdeen represents not just a commitment to the hotel but to Aberdeen as a whole. Despite current challenges in the market, we believe in the city’s resilience and its future as a key tourism hub. With a significant refurbishment, we are determined to drive continued success through the exceptional guest experiences Malmaison is renowned for."
