Highland Hotel

About

The Highland Hotel stands proudly on Union Road in the heart of Fort William, overlooking the deep blue waters of Loch Linnhe and the looming silhouette of Ben Nevis. Originally built in 1896 as a Victorian railway hotel, the Regency‑style building has been lovingly restored by Lochs & Glens Holidays, preserving original fireplaces, wood paneling and elaborate plasterwork while adding the comforts of the 21st century. Whether you arrive as part of a coach tour, a self‑drive break, or simply for a weekend stay, guests enjoy en‑suite rooms with TVs, hair‑dryers, tea‑making facilities and free Wi‑Fi, all within sight of a pleasant lounge bar and nightly entertainment. The hotel’s location makes it a natural gateway to the Highlands’ most celebrated walks and cycles: the West Highland Way, the famed Ben Nevis summit, and the scenic paths around Loch Linnhe. Guests can easily explore the town’s cafés, pubs and boutiques, or venture out for the world‑renowned downhill mountain‑bike championships in the surrounding high‑land meadows. A lift serves many rooms and the hotel’s open log‑fire reception offers traditional Scottish warmth after a day on the trails. For those wishing to integrate a short break with a guide‑led excursion, Highland offers a range of coach‑holiday packages and limited bed‑and‑breakfast rooms—available up to four weeks in advance for self‑drive departures. A £10 non‑refundable deposit secures a room, and the full booking is handled online via the user‑friendly “Book Now” page. With its historic charm, superb location and welcoming hospitality, the Highland Hotel is a quintessential Scottish stay that delights travellers of all ages.
