Fodor's Expert Review Malmaison

Part of a British minichain, this boutique hotel with fabulously comfy rooms and suites---some with terraces from which you can watch the sunset---sets the standard by which all rivals in Aberdeen are judged. Think deep-burgundy-and-purple-velvet throws, softly colored plaids, high-thread-count linens, fluffy robes, stand-alone tubs, rain showers, and luxury toiletries.
