The Marcliffe Hotel & Spa

Overview

The Marcliffe at Pitfodels is a luxurious, relaxed and ultra-elegant five-star Scottish country hotel set in its own picturesque grounds on the outskirts of the historic city of Aberdeen in North-east Scotland. A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, it is essentially a family-friendly intimate accommodation run by hands-on owner Stewart Spence who is fiercely proud of its ambience of warmth, ease and charm. Stewart is proud to offer a fixed room rate, shunning yield revenue management for the past 44 years. As he interestingly describes it - "What would restaurant guests think if the price of a steak varied according to demand?" As one of the Scotland's's most distinguished hotels, the Marcliffe at has welcomed many high-profile guests. From the British Royal Family, there has been HRH Prince Charles and HRH Princess Anne; foreign dignitaries including the Sultan of Brunei; former British Prime Minister and world statesman Tony Blair; actor Charlton Heston and rock star Rod Stewart; and probably the greatest exponent of links golf to hail from the United States - Tom Watson.
