Sleepovers are a hallmark in a little girl's life. I still remember my first one: we thought we were staying up late at 10pm, we watched A Little Princess and ate FAR too much chocolate. We all phoned our parents at 8pm to tell them that we were having a nice time and we all went to sleep with our favourite teddies.
Fast-forward ten years and 10pm is an early night, chocolate is a staple in my diet and Yellow Teddy is tucked up safely in my keepsake box. But I still love sleepovers with the girls and having them away from home still adds to the excitement. But what really makes a sleepover special- or indeed, an entire girly weekend away - is having it in your own hotel suite!
Enter Skene House in Aberdeen, who's hotel suites are designed for such weekends. Get a group of girls together and book out an entire apartment for your time away. Each of the three locations (Holburn Street, Whitehall Place and Rosemount Viaduct) are ideally suited for town, train stations and roads to the country and each location has it's own distinct character. All of the apartments boast a fully-fitted kitchen, a spacious and comfortable living room, a bathroom designed for girls with huge mirrors and one, two or three bedrooms. Whether you're having a movie night with pizza or pre-drinks before a wild night, the apartments can cope with your plans. And if you can't be bothered even to throw some pizza in the oven, Skene House has a number of 'partner restaurants' who will gladly take your reservation. 
To make your stay extra special, Skene House can organise in-house spa treatments, chocolate making classes and champagne teas (ideal) and a Groups Coordinator can help to organise fabulous itineries full of fun things like castle tours, dance classes and...fishing? (whatever floats your boat on a girly weekend away...) And CHECK THIS OUT: Skene House offer a Very Important Pillow service, whereby you can choose what kind of pillow you want, (feather or foam) and they'll hold onto it for your next visit. Do you know what this means? A good night sleep. What a gift.  |

Personally, I would take an apartment like this over a hotel room any day. It's like you move in for the weekend with all of your high heels, laptops and friends and live in your own flat. There's no need to trail down to the lounge for drinks; just skip across the hallway. There's no need to gather at 8pm prompt for breakfast; just pad across the carpet and open up the fridge. Friend driving you up the wall? Then head to the other bedroom, instead of booking out another hotel room three floors up.
We're about to head into spring-break, wedding and hen party season so I suggest you book up before other people do!
