Marcliffe, Aberdeen’s only five-star hotel, is excited to reveal the name and first look at its new brasserie: Skylark.

Set beneath a striking glass dome in the centre of the hotel, Skylark is a vibrant space that reimagines dining at Marcliffe. With bold interiors, a lively atmosphere, and a menu rooted in the finest local ingredients, Skylark invites guests to rise above the ordinary and experience something truly special.

The name takes inspiration from the skylark bird known for its joyful song and skyward flight. It reflects the spirit of the brasserie: light, free, and full of life. Every detail, from the architecture to the ambience, is designed to elevate the experience.

Sir Jim Milne CBE, Chairman of Balmoral Group and Marcliffe, commented: “Skylark represents everything we want the future of Marcliffe to be, welcoming, inspiring, and full of life. It’s a space that brings people together and offers something truly unique for Aberdeen. We’re incredibly proud of what’s taking shape and excited to share it with our guests.”

This announcement follows Marcliffe’s recent recognition as Aberdeen’s only AA 5-star hotel, a prestigious accolade that reflects the highest standards of service, hospitality, and guest experience. Skylark will build on this achievement, offering guests a dynamic new space to enjoy five-star service in a setting that’s uplifting, modern, and full of energy.

Skylark is set to open at the end of January 2026, with more details to follow soon.
