Mary Quant

V&A Dundee is welcoming the blockbuster Mary Quant exhibit until 6 September 2020 and it's a must-see if you and your partner are a fan of history, culture or fashion. See how Quant revolutionised 60s fashion and explore the collections that defined an era at the iconic museum. If you want to make the most of Dundee and the fashion-forward exhibit, we've got a Mary Quant overnight package that will guarantee a visit that's both comfortable and uber-stylish.

Visit St Andrews

If you're staying at our Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa, you'll be just a 25-minute drive from the beautiful seaside town of St Andrews and perfectly placed to enjoy a romantic day out. Commonly known as the Home of Golf, St Andrews is full of beautiful golf courses and scenery you can explore. On a sunny day, you'll be able to visit the Old Course and take a stroll around the very streets Prince William walked during university. We can't think of a more dreamy setting for a date, can you?

Dolphins in the water
Dolphin watching in Dundee

Go dolphin watching 

That's right, you can go dolphin watching in Dundee - who knew! Experience the open waters and see the bottlenose dolphin population leap from the Tay this summer when you visit the City of Discovery. If you and your partner love adventure, check out Pirate Boats Ltd for their action-packed tours. Or, if you prefer to dolphin watch from the comfort of dry land, you can sometimes spot the dolphins from the nearby Broughty Ferry.

Enjoy a romantic dinner

Indulge in a delicious dinner with your partner overlooking the Quay at our Quayside Bar & Grill at Apex City Quay Hotel & Spa. Spoil yourself with delicacies from the land, sea & field and sample some of our skilfully shaken cocktails in ultra-chic surroundings in the heart of Dundee. If you stay with us, once you've indulged in our Chef's decadent menu, you'll be just a lift ride away from a great night's sleep in one of our dreamy beds. Plus, you'll wake up to summer views of the Quay or the River Tay through our floor-to-ceiling windows.

We hope you'll join us for a summer stay in Dundee!
