IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) has opened its first Staybridge Suites in Scotland, Staybridge Suites Dundee.

Exuding a sense of history and heritage, Staybridge Suites Dundee is located within a formerly abandoned linen mill. Many of its suites have the original features including exposed brick ceilings and iron beams — telling stories of the building’s past.

The hotel offers 85 one bedroom and studio suites, designed “to deliver the comforts of home” with living areas, fully equipped kitchens and flexible workspaces. While the lobby, with modern industrial interior design, provides an adaptable work and social space where guests can make use of free Wi-Fi.

“Designed for the modern traveller”

Dianna Bruce, hotel manager for Staybridge Suites Dundee, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be opening Scotland’s first Staybridge Suites in Dundee. Designed for the modern traveller, we have created a hotel where our guests can stay in the style of room that suits them best, perfect for business and family travellers alike.”

Staybridge Suites Dundee is close to many of Dundee’s key attractions, including the new V&A Dundee. Bruce added: “The hotel is a short drive from the city’s train station and airport, allowing guests a central base to enjoy the attractions of the city. Across the courtyard, guests can dine at the 2 AA Rosette Daisy Tasker restaurant, which has been named after a former mill worker.”

Hotel features include a fully-stocked onsite shop called The Pantry where guests can purchase food essentials 24 hours a day, free laundry facilities and a 24/7 fitness room. Breakfast is included and three times a week, guests are invited to join midweek Evening Socials hosted by the hotel, to get together with friends or fellow travellers and unwind over complimentary food and drink.
