Aberdeen, Scotland's granite-built "Granite City" on the North Sea, built its modern economy on offshore oil and gas: a base that has also funded a run of purpose-built, new-construction hotels rather than historic conversions. This guide currently tracks two projects, both already open: Moxy Aberdeen Airport, near Dyce, and Aloft Aberdeen TECA, next to the city's exhibition centre.
What to do in Aberdeen
A short visit
Aberdeen's granite-built Union Street and Old Aberdeen's cobbled lanes around King's College are the city's best walking routes, and the harbour still handles a steady flow of North Sea supply vessels: a reminder of the industry the city is built on.
A longer stay
With more time, Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms National Park are within about an hour's drive, and the whisky distilleries of Speyside make a feasible day trip for travellers extending an Aberdeen stay.
Where to stay in Aberdeen
Moxy Aberdeen Airport opened in December 2016 next to Aberdeen International Airport in Dyce: Moxy Hotels' UK debut, run by Norwegian operator Belvar for owner Vastint Hospitality, with 200 rooms geared toward a quick, self-service stay near the runway.
Aloft Aberdeen TECA opened in August 2019 beside P&J Live, the city's exhibition and conference centre (TECA), as Scotland's first Aloft hotel. RBH Management runs the 150-room property for the events traffic generated by the complex next door.
