Guest rooms range from Comfort to Deluxe Riverview categories, equipped with blackout curtains, USB chargers, and Nespresso machines. The self-catering apartments provide fully-fitted kitchens, rainfall showers, and private patios. Each unit includes Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, fluffy robes, and modern security features.

Pros

Home to Inverness's largest whisky collection with over 260 rare malts

Live piano performances on weekends in the elegant bar

Private patio gardens for apartment guests

Dry-aging facility for premium beef on-site

Cons

Comfort category rooms are compact in size

Some rooms lack river views

“The hotel's riverside setting certainly places it well for exploring Inverness. Though some may find the rooms a touch dated, there's undeniable charm in a place with such a wide selection of whiskies. I appreciate the hotel's offer of self-contained apartments, an interesting touch for a city-center stay.”
