There are not many places in the world that you can enjoy your morning coffee whilst sitting under a Picasso, but the Fife Arms is one. A 46 roomed Victorian coaching inn, nestled in the magnificent Cairngorms National Park, its traditional facade houses conceals a riot of colour and personality on the inside – not to mention a world-class contemporary art collection. Blending Scottish heritage, craftsmanship and culture in a thoroughly modern manner, the hotel is at the heart of the small Highland village of Braemar thanks in no small part to The Flying Stag, the hotel’s public bar.
