Are you looking for a unique Scottish winter escap Are you looking for a unique Scottish winter escape in Aberdeen? 🤩 @aloftaberdeenteca is a beautiful modern hotel in Aberdeen, just a short drive from the airport. The rooms are very spacious and some offer a beautiful view of the countryside, which makes it nice to work from as well 🛌 Since the hotel is located further away from the city centre, I’d highly recommend dining at the hotel’s bar/restaurant where you can find lots of great dishes for affordable prices. Their breakfast is also a great option, especially if you’re catching a flight early in the morning ✈️ And if this doesn’t entice you to stay at @aloftaberdeenteca for a winter break, the hotel is also dog-friendly so you can bring your furry friend along with you! 🐶 Do you like to stay in modern hotels like this while travelling? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 • • • • • • • • • • #aloft #aloftaberdeen #aberdeenhotel #hotelreview #kristatheexplorer #traveltips #travel #travelblogger #prstay #marriotthotel #marriott #visitaberdeen #visitaberdeenshire #aberdeen #scotlandtravel #visitscotland #scotlandexplore #scotlandtrip #aberdeenteca
