Thistle Aberdeen Altens is conveniently located just south of the center of Aberdeen, close to the station and a short drive from the airport. With 216 bedrooms, including a Suite, 12 meeting rooms, the largest seating up to 350 people theater-style, and free on-site parking for 300 cars, the hotel is one of Aberdeen's premier hotels for business meetings and events, and a popular local wedding venue.
