Built in 1786 by William Inglis, who was later the Provost of
Inverness, the original house is the heart of the hotel. Some
kilometres from the city centre and the River Ness, the
family-friendly historical hotel has tastefully and yet
sympathetically extended over the years since it was opened as a
charming and luxurious Inverness hotel in 1947. A concierge service
is available all day. This air-conditioned business hotel comprises
a total of 83 rooms. Guests are welcomed in the lobby, which offers
a 24-hour reception and a 24-hour check-out service, as well as a
hotel safe, currency exchange and lift access to the upper floors.
There is a hairdressing salon, a bar and a restaurant and guests
will appreciate the conference facilities and wireless Internet
access (fees apply). Room and laundry services are offered for a
fee, and guests arriving by car may leave their vehicles in the
hotel car park.

at the hotel. Dinner can be enjoyed à la carte or selected
from various set menu options.
