The luxurious Royal Suites boast features like ornate hand-carved four-poster beds, freestanding copper bathtubs, writing desks overlooking the rolling landscape and antique bookshelves filled with reading material to curl up in front of the fireplace.
The aptly-named Flying Stag Bar offers the unique experience of sipping your whisky beneath a stuffed stag adorned with real bird wings or listening to live music while enjoying local cuisine. Visit Bertie's Whisky Bar to choose from 365 different kinds of whisky with flavour profiles ranging from fruity to smoky, or stop by Elsa's for hand-crafted cocktails in a stylish setting. Start your morning with traditional Scottish porridge or sourdough avocado toast in The Clunie Dining Room, an elegant space with hand-painted mural walls, or visit the tartan-clad Drawing Room for a hot cup of coffee beside the flickering fireplace.
Visit the Albamhor Treatment Rooms for a colourful manicure, a customised facial, or the Albamhor Deluxe Signature Treatment, which includes a full-body massage, a soothing scalp treatment and an eye treatment. Pick up a map of the nature trails in the surrounding Cairngorms National Park, or join a guided walk with the hotel's in-house forager to learn about local plants. Children can enjoy board games and toys in the Family Room and pick up an Art Pack to keep them occupied during their stay.
