The Fife Arms
In Braemar, you enter the Fife Arms in walking boots fresh from the Cairngorms. Iwan and Manuela Wirth have brought together over 16,000 works of art in this Victorian inn, including Zhang Enli’s Ancient Quartz, a painting from the circle of Pieter Brueghel the Younger, and a 19th-century fireplace dedicated to Robert Burns. A tour of the artworks sets off from the lobby at 4 pm. A ghillie leads the way to the woods of Deeside or the Invercauld estate, where the venison is brought back to be prepared by Adam Maddock over the open fire in the Clunie Dining Room. Whiskies are served at Bertie’s, whilst cocktails are enjoyed at Elsa’s, amidst Art Deco décor.

What we like
The art
A portrait by Picasso above the piano — which plays by itself — in the drawing room.
The comfort
The syncretism of the Indian Suite, inspired by Abdul Karim, confidant and valet to Queen Victoria.
The drink
Elsa’s pink Schiaparelli cocktail, a tribute to the designer who once frequented the hotel.
