The agony of choice

All the art is little wonder given the provenance of its high-key owners: Manuela and Iwan Wirth, co-presidents of Zurich-based art gallery Hauser & Wirth. Together, they've combined art with culture, food, hospitality and environmental sustainability across a series of projects, including the Roth Bar & Grill and the Durslade Farmhouse at Hauser & Wirth Somerset; The Bull Inn in Bruton; the Manuela restaurant at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles; and now The Fife Arms. Braemar itself comes with much storytelling, set as it is a two-hour drive from Aberdeen and Dundee in the wild, picturesque Cairngorms National Park and just a cock's stride from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth's holiday home at Balmoral.
