Malmaison Dundee
Plush rooms and a stylish cocktail bar
About this hotel
Malmaison Dundee occupies a Victorian building close to RRS Discovery, plush rooms and suites paired with a chic brasserie and a stylish cocktail bar that stands out among the city's more casual options nearby. A short walk from Bird & Bear, the hotel puts golfers within an easy stroll of Dundee's own restaurant scene for an evening that goes well beyond a typical clubhouse bar. Air conditioning suits a warmer summer stay, and full-service laundry matters on a longer trip where golf kit needs proper cleaning between rounds. Fifteen minutes from Carnoustie by car, this is the property for a group wanting a genuinely upscale evening to match a demanding day on the exposed Championship Course links.

Our take
A group wanting a genuinely upscale evening, cocktails and a proper brasserie included, will get real value from Malmaison Dundee after a demanding day on Carnoustie's exposed links. Golfers on a tighter budget or wanting to walk to the first tee should look toward a simpler in-town Carnoustie property instead.
- Book the cocktail bar for at least one evening; it is the property's standout feature after a long day of golf.
- Walk to Bird & Bear for a change of restaurant scene beyond the hotel's own chic brasserie.
- Allow fifteen minutes' drive time to Carnoustie each morning when scheduling an early tee time from this base.
Why we love it

Why guests love itWe treated ourselves to Malmaison Dundee for the last two nights of a longer golf trip, and the cocktail bar became the perfect way to mark the end of a demanding week on Carnoustie's exposed links, the plush Victorian rooms feeling like a genuine reward after several days of coastal wind and long rounds played across the whole trip together.
