In 1873, Queen Victoria spent a week at Inverlochy, sketching and painting. In her diaries, she wrote 'I never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot', and little has changed almost 150 years later.
Visitors to this 19th-century castle can enjoy some of Scotland's finest scenery, from views of the mighty Ben Nevis to dense groups of luscious evergreen trees, and the sparkling waters of the private loch.
A place to relax in peaceful surroundings, but only 3 miles from the bustling Highland town of Fort William, this 5-star castle hotel gives you a choice of 17 uniquely-designed spacious, luxurious bedrooms.
You will marvel at the enormous chandeliers and painted ceilings, and friendly and courteous staff are on hand to respond to your every need.
Bedrooms
Every detail for your comfort and enjoyment has been carefully considered.
Each of the 17 bedrooms and suites has its own individual design and character, along with spectacular views of the grounds and private loch. Alternatively, the two-bedroom Gate Lodge is situated at the entrance of the hotel and offers splendid views of Ben Nevis.
Room facilities include 40” televisions disguised as mirrors, personal safe, radio, free internet access and DVD player available upon request.
All rooms boast luxurious Peter Reed 400-thread-count Egyptian cotton bed linen and Inverlochy Castle’s bespoke range of Arran Aromatics Toiletries.
Dining
Inverlochy Castle's Albert and Michel Roux Jr Restaurant is an experience to savour.

The dining room features elaborate furniture gifted to Inverlochy Castle by the King of Norway.
Light lunch and afternoon tea are available in the Lounge, plus the castle has 24-hour room service.
