Carmelite Hotel, Aberdeen
It may not be the Big Apple, but the Granite City does boast its own flatiron building. Built in 1869 the Carmelite Hotel was once known as the Imperial. Designed by architect John Souttar and built in silver granite, this iconic building is loved by Aberdonians for its fabulous triangular shape. But there’s more to love inside. This hotel’s eclectic interior and award winning bedroom designs, combined with great food and entertainment, make it a fabulous social hub. Its Jazz Cafe is hugely popular, as are the Jazz Sunday roasts which come with all the trimmings and great music to boot. A double or twin room at the Carmelite at weekends will set you back £75 including continental breakfast, while a single costs £45.
