The Royal Highland Hotel

The building and facilities. Lovely grand dining room

This hotel is a historical beauty, I feel so lucky to have found it. Right in the heart of the stunning city of Inverness, We had a fantastic time. On arrival, you walk into the most beautiful lobby area where it has been said the staircase was the inspiration for the staircase on (The Titanic ) no less, you can imagine the fabulous gatherings that would have taken place in such a wonderful venue. The room was clean and well laid out and even though there are still original features such as the sash windows there is surprisingly not much outside noise. The Grand Hall where breakfast is held has a timeless feel and I was taken back at how much of the original beauty remains, the stained glass windows for instance hailing back to the time when The Royal Highland was named The Station Hotel as it is central in the city next to The Inverness station. I like to think of the ladies and gentlemen who would have travelled to grand engagements at this hotel Escorted by a footman from the station to the hotel with trunks containing beautiful garments, perhaps for a New Year's Eve party or some such event. Anyway, it was a fabulous break I would highly recommend it. So many wonderful places to see nearby but also if you choose to venture out to maybe Lochness or a fantastic whiskey distillery there are tours available or you can go your own way, rent a car or take advantage of being so close to public transport with is extremely affordable and reliable. I wanted to stay longer to see more. There is something for everyone at the Royal Highland Hotel.

I had a disabled room. It was very good except for the fact the bathroom floor was quite slippery and the toilet was very low for a disabld person. The bed bed linen and towels were excellent. The continental breakfast was very good with an excellent variety of food and drink available. The staff in there were also very efficient in maintaining the buffet items and clearing pots from tables as soon as they were finished with and also pleasant and helpful.

Location is simply the best with train station next door and being center of the city. Very old building which i love - staff were more than accomodating and although i never tried the facilities or food they did look really nice. I was able to park in the square directly outside hotel which was awesome. Hotel actually upgraded my room along with bed size which was above and beyond what i had requested. If i was ever travelling to inverness to stay in future i would book this hotel again no questions asked

Location is perfect, right next to the train station (so a short distance from the bus station) and in the centre of the city. Staff friendly. Reception and bar area really nice, our cosy room was perfect for one night stay with everything we needed. The continental breakfast was more than plentiful with lots of choice. You have the option to upgrade for a cooked breakfast but there did not seem any need. Bonus to be able to leave your luggage in their locked storage room - we needed to be in Inverness for a few hours before our onward train journey later in the day after check out.
