About this hotel
The Best Western Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa is the perfect place to stay in Inverness. Relax or work up an appetite in our on-site leisure club, swimming pool and spa, dine in our scenic restaurant, then enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep in one of our stylish rooms. Opposite Inverness Castle and by the bonnie banks of the River Ness, the Best Western Inverness Palace Hotel and Spa offers you the chance to unwind. You'll be nestled in a peaceful and pet-friendly hotel with free car parking - the ideal base for nearby Highland beauty spots and heritage sites. Or stay closer to your home from home, where you’ll find galleries, shops, restaurants and lovely local attractions – all within walking distance. The famous Loch Ness provides mystery and beauty nearby, but even if the famous monster eludes you, there are plenty of other attractions worth seeing in this glorious part of the Highlands. Culloden battlefield, Cawdor Castle or Fort George are all well worth a visit, while the sandy beaches of Nairn provide fun for all the family. Bring your dog and leave your cares at home – because if you’re a lover of the great outdoors, it doesn’t get much greater than this stunning location. It’s high time you visited the Highlands and discovered all that the Best Western Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa has to offer. A restoration program of the baronial facade of the hotel is underway. Specialist local craftsman are restoring the sandstone in 3 phases and scaffolding will be in place in sections on the front of the hotel completing in June 2023.
