The Best Apartments In Aberdeen

Booking a trip to Scotland’s Granite City? With its wide sweeping beaches and ancient castles Aberdeen has plenty to keep you busy, right on its doorstep. If you’re looking for somewhere with a little more space (and a kitchen to whip up your evening meal) then a hotel just won’t cut it. Thankfully, this Scottish city has numerous eco-friendly and serviced apartments to choose from – here’s our roundup of the best.

1. Skene House Rosemount Apartments

Hotel, Apartment

If you like to travel with your precious pup (and/or family) Skene House provides the perfect apartments. This converted church building offers guests a unique stay less than half a mile from the city centre. With traditional furnishings and fully-equipped kitchens, the new accommodation has the flexibility of a holiday rental alongside the perks of hotel stays – such as breakfast for a small additional cost.

2. The Craibstone Suites

Apartment

Stay in a modern building with a historic past at Craibstone Suites, an excellent choice for your Scottish getaway. The former home of Aberdeen architect extraordinaire Archibald Simpson (who’s credited with constructing most of the Granite City) can be found in picturesque Bon-Accord Square in the heart of the city. It offers chic decor without breaking the bank, plus it’s just a few minutes from the city’s thriving restaurants, pubs and shops.

3. Royal Athenaeum Suites

Apartment

Based in Union Street, it’s basically impossible to get more central than the Royal Athenaeum Suites. This former townhouse contrasts modern furnishings with a beautiful Georgian facade. Each of the 46 apartments is equipped with a kitchen, dishwasher and washing machine, plus divine underfloor heating in the bathroom. Craft beer bars and coffee shops are on your doorstep.

5. Aspect Apartments

Apartment

Just off busy Union Street you’ll find these gorgeous granite apartments in a quiet terrace and private square. All three apartments sleep four people and exceed 65sqm (700sqft) – twice the size of your average hotel room. This makes the flats perfect for families visiting the city. As a bonus, they’re just behind Aberdeen’s newly refurbished Music Hall, meaning you have entertainment and top restaurants (like Fusion Bar and Bistro) on your doorstep.

6. Apartrooms Aberdeen

Apartment

For eco-conscious travellers, these apartments on the outskirts of Aberdeen will tick all your green boxes. With solar gain (floor to ceiling) windows keeping the room heated, and free electric car charging points, you can rest easy that your stay won’t harm the planet. You’ll love the clean, modern aesthetic with a Scandinavian touch – plus the apartrooms are also dog-friendly. What’s not to love?

7. Aberdeen Serviced Apartments

Apartment

A 10-minute drive from the city centre, these serviced apartments in the old Lodge will give you a home-away-from-home feel. Each one-bedroom apartment includes free parking, a welcome breakfast hamper, a kitchen and large bathtub. Based in the homely neighbourhood of Hilton, take a stroll through nearby Cruickshank Botanic Garden or stop off at Shakes ‘n’ Cakes for a sweet treat.

8. Chapel Apartments

Apartment

A mere 10-minute walk from Aberdeen’s impressive art gallery, Chapel Apartments in the West End of Aberdeen will make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. There’s a range of one and two bedroom apartments (depending on the size of your group) plus free parking on-site. Breakfast comes with freshly-baked goods from the family bakery next door – a personal touch that makes these apartments stand out from the rest.
