About

One of Scotland's best-loved hotels The Royal Highland Hotel is situated right in the heart of Inverness. All the rooms boast furnishings and fittings of the highest quality with free (45 minutes) wireless internet access available in all public areas. The majestic staircase, which inspired the designers of the Titanic's interior, forms the focal point of the building. ASH is the a la carte restaurant/bar within the hotel, and the Gallery is a more traditional eatery, both offering fresh local produce. There are spa and health suite facilities nearby, or canoeing, tennis, hiking or fishing for the more active.
