Fife Arms Unveils Coco Chanel-Inspired 'Secret Room' in Scottish Highlands
The Fife Arms, a luxury hotel in Braemar, Scotland, has unveiled a new guestroom inspired by Coco Chanel, hidden behind a trompe-l'œil door. Priced from $1,355, the room was designed by Russell Sage Studio and features tweeds from Linton Mill, which Chanel discovered in 1928 and still supplies her fashion house. The decor includes Scottish Chinoiserie, pink floral wallpaper from Rosehall House, and details from Chanel's Paris apartment at 31 Rue Cambon, such as a wheatsheaf chandelier and Art Deco mirror. Chanel's connection to Scotland began in the 1920s during her relationship with Hugh Grosvenor, 2nd Duke of Westminster, and she became an avid fly-fisher there. The room can be found by following a Camelia symbol.
