modern add-ons, the property has a good quality,
if expensive, restaurant, a fully equipped fitness center, an an indoor pool and poolside sauna, and a business center. With little within walking distance and no available public transportation, guests will need a car -- the hotel is easily reached by road.

Scene
Part 19th-century mansion with bright conservatory set in landscaped gardens
Formerly the Landmark Hotel, the property underwent an expensive renovation and reopened as part of the DoubleTree by Hilton chain in
Location
Off the A90 roundabout four miles from Dundee city center
The hotel is
located on the outskirts of Dundee off a busy roundabout that connects to
the A90 and the city center about four miles away. Surrounded by green fields,
there is little if nothing within walking distance of the property, including
public transport connections. The location, however, does mean particularly
easy access to the city of Perth -- about a 20-minute drive away -- as well as
Dundee Airport, about a five-minute drive.
Rooms
Generally well-maintained and stylish rooms with free -- though patchy -- Wi-Fi
The hotel has 95
rooms -- spread between old and newer buildings -- all of which were renovated in 2013 and are smart and stylish in neutral tones with splashes
of tartan and purple velvet. Flat-screen TVs, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and free
Wi-Fi come standard -- though the Wi-Fi signal can be patchy -- while Superior
Rooms also include bathrobes, air conditioning, and mini-fridges. While
generally clean and well-kept, there have been reports of poor
maintenance in places. Despite proximity to a roundabout and the main road, traffic
noise doesn't seem to be a problem in the rooms.
Features
Bright and pleasant restaurant, (small) indoor pool, and sauna
The Maze
Restaurant (named after the hotel's own maze) is a bright and particularly
pleasant space serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner overlooking the well-tended
gardens -- though breakfast is not included in the room rate and the menu can be expensive. There's also a cozy lounge bar with a log-effect fireplace and
plenty of soft seating for evening drinks. The hotel has an indoor pool, and there is also a poolside
sauna and neighboring fitness room. Parking is free of charge, as is Wi-Fi
throughout -- though it can be spotty.
