The Apex City
Quay Hotel & Spa is an upscale, 151-room property with a prime position
overlooking Dundee's scenic old docks -- the city center is also just minutes
away on foot. While most rooms have quay views and nice personal touches, a few
also show signs of wear. The on-site brasserie is a great place to unwind, and
the hotel's spa provides some impressive services. There's also a fitness center and business center. Overall, however, the vibe
feels more oriented toward business guests, so those after something a little
cozier might want to take a look at the nearby Malmaison Dundee.

Scene
Retro-chic in spacious quayside hotel with a smart professional vibe
Despite a glass-and-brick '70s-style facade, this hotel opened its doors in 2003, and is just one of eight in the
Apex Hotel chain. Inside, the retro-chic styling continues, with
modern low-profile furnishings, swaths of red-marble tile flooring, and plenty
of clean minimalist lines. The impression is smart and professional, while
calming background music sets a relaxing tone throughout the spacious reception
area. A pair of elevators take guests to one of six floors, while the hotel's
roomy high-ceilinged bar-restaurant provides plenty of space for visitors to
gather and take in views over Dundee's old docks.
Location
Overlooking Dundee's old docks, a few minutes' walk from the city center
The hotel has an
excellent position overlooking the old harbor, now a scenic and relatively
quiet part of the city with plenty of post-industrial charm as well as a
smattering of restaurants and shops. The banks of the Tay River are a two-minute walk away, while Dundee center is also a few minutes away in the
other direction -- including the Dundee Overgate shopping mall -- which is full of
fashion retailers, department stores, and fast-food outlets. Dundee's train
station is within a 10-minute walk, while those arriving by car will find
the hotel is just off the Tay Road Bridge. Dundee Airport is about a 10-minute drive away.
Rooms
Most have dock views, while all include free fast Wi-Fi and a rubber ducky
The hotel's 151
rooms all embody homey yet modern styling, with simple wooden
furnishings, carpeted floors, and personal touches such as fresh flowers and
animal-towel sculptures -- though there are a few signs of wear and tear. Business-friendly
amenities include large desks with executive-style chairs and free high-speed
Wi-Fi and UK calls, while tea- and coffee-making facilities and 42-inch flat-screen TVs
with Freeview channels come standard. Suites add bathrobes
and mini-fridges to the amenity mix. Black-and-white photos
celebrate the docks' past. While rooms at the front of the building
have views over the water, others look out on the less scenic Tay Bridge.
Nicely finished bathrooms have tubs and walk in-showers with luxury Elemis toiletries,
while every room gets a rubber ducky, which guests can take home (free of charge).
Features
On-site bar-restaurant, Japanese-style spa, and private parking
Metro Bar and
Brasserie restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a menu of international
flavors accompanied byquay-side views -- though breakfast
isn't typically included in the standard room package. The hotel's Yu Spa is well-equipped, with an ozone (chlorine-free) pool, herbal infused sauna and steam
room, and Japanese hot tubs, as well as body and beauty treatments with Elemis
products. An on-site gym provides cardio and weight-training equipment with built-in TVs and Internet access, while there's private parking free of charge.
