"The Fife Arms has 47 rooms, none of which seem to have agreed on a design language with the others. Some draw on literary or cultural figures - rooms themed around Robert Louis Stevenson or, for instance - while others take cues from moments in Scottish history, from the Jacobite era to the Victorian fascination with the Highlands."
"Locals will tell you the ripple effect has been real enough to measure: house prices reportedly rising by around £150,000 (approx. $203,260) since its revival."
The Fife Arms, located in Braemar, Scotland, was revitalized by Iwan and Manuela Wirth in 2013, transforming it from a Victorian coaching inn into a luxury hotel. This transformation has positively affected the local economy, with property values rising significantly. The hotel features 47 uniquely designed rooms inspired by literary figures and Scottish history, all reflecting a deep respect for tradition. The area is also notable for its proximity to Balmoral Castle and has attracted various celebrities and even members of the British royal family.
