Inverlochy Castle Hotel

Fort William, Scotland

Inverlochy Castle Hotel is a beautiful 19th-century castle surrounded by the luscious green of the evergreen trees and the sparkling blue from the nearby loch. Being in Scotland’s finest Country Hotel, you will enjoy the holiday of a lifetime, where every detail for your comfort and enjoyment has been carefully considered and one which you are sure never to forget.

The area surrounding Inverlochy Castle is rich in landscape and history, to name but a few of these breath-taking places – the falls at Glen Nevis, the monument at Glenfinnan and the mountains of Glencoe. During a trip to Balmoral in 1873, Queen Victoria spent a week at Inverlochy sketching and painting where she wrote in her diaries ‘I never saw a lovelier or more romantic spot’. Nestling in the foothills of the mighty Ben Nevis, Inverlochy Castle sits amidst some of Scotland’s finest scenery.

Dining at ‘Albert and Michel Roux Jr at Inverlochy Castle’ is a culinary experience to savour, with the legendary father and son taking the helm of the kitchen and offering the finest dishes using local produce. You can dine in any of the hotel’s three dining rooms, each decorated with period and elaborate furniture presented as gifts to Inverlochy Castle from the King of Norway, creating a unique experience in unrivalled surroundings.

Meetings and events

The pressure of modern life is pervasive; it can deflate enthusiasm. At such times, the space to reflect becomes precious and Inverlochy can breathe new life back into tired minds and bodies. The relaxed atmosphere is often inspiration enough for guests and, with the latest communications technology in every room, you can be sure that your ideas don’t get lost in the rarefied Highlands air. There is a tradition in this part of the world of the Meeting Place, where people get together to exchange views, share experience and, perhaps, a dram or two. Something of this informal approach to business is discernible in Inverlochy. Where the sound of pens scratching, computers tapping, and minds whirring is likely to be accompanied by the clacking of billiard balls, the cast of a fishing rod and the crackling of ice in glass.
