The success of a hotel is built on the quality of its service and the dedication of its staff. The Fife Arms will be a place where it is possible for people to grow and develop their talents. I have met many interesting people and travelled all over the world during my career, however Braemar and The Fife Arms feel like home, I can t wait to open the doors and breathe new life into this great hotel. I hope that you will join me there. Federica Bertolini, General Manager It was love at first sight is the opening line from Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.
