What’s included in all of our Inverness hotel rooms
Whichever room you choose, you’ll find the essentials for a comfortable stay. As such, every room has an ensuite bathroom, free Wi-Fi, and a television, as well as tea and coffee facilities and an in-room safe. And if you’d rather stay in, room service runs 24 hours a day. So, a late-night tipple or some food is never a problem. Our Inverness team also keeps all the Kingsmills Hotel rooms fresh during your stay, with daily housekeeping and clean towels. And if you need anything extra, from an additional pillow to a table for dinner, all you have to do is ask.
Enjoy a heated pool, spa, and fantastic food
Your stay at the Kingsmills Hotel includes free use of our Leisure Club, which is a real treat after a busy day. Start with a few lengths of the heated indoor swimming pool before sinking into the jacuzzi. Then, relax in the sauna and steam room, perfect for tired legs after a day of exploring. And if you’d like to stay active, our gym is fully equipped and ready for you. Parking on site is also free for every guest, and four EV chargers sit next to the Leisure Club entrance. So, you can charge your vehicle overnight and set off for the Highlands fully topped up in the morning.
When it comes to dining, breakfast is served each morning, so you can fuel up properly before you enjoy your day. Come evening, choose from the light-filled Conservatory Restaurant or the more intimate Inglis Restaurant for dinner. Finally, round off the night with a dram in the Whisky Bar, where Scotland’s finest malts are waiting. Travelling with little ones? Our children’s menu keeps even the fussiest of wee ones happy.
A Highland hotel in the beating heart of Scotland
Choosing our Highland hotel rooms in Inverness puts much of Scotland within easy reach. As such, from the Kingsmills Hotel, you can be on the shores of Loch Ness in 30 minutes, scanning the water for a glimpse of Nessie. The Cairngorms and various Highland castles also make easy day trips, and so do the whisky distilleries of Speyside.
Closer to home, there’s plenty to see in the city itself. Inverness Castle stands proudly above the River Ness, for example, while the historic Victorian Market is packed with independent shops and cafes. The riverside walks are lovely in any season, too, and in June, the sun doesn’t set until after 10pm. So, there’s time for one more stroll before or after dinner.
Inverness hotel rooms built for any trip
When comparing Scotland hotel rooms for a Highland break, it’s worth thinking about what you’ll do each day. And that’s where Inverness really comes into its own, and particularly the Kingsmills Hotel. With the city on your doorstep and the Highlands all around, our hotel makes the perfect base. So, when you’re choosing a hotel room in Scotland, choosing the Kingsmills gives you comfort, space and plenty to explore. And of all the hotel rooms in Scotland you could book, few put this much right outside the door.
The Kingsmills Hotel also sits in landscaped grounds on the edge of the city, surrounded by lawns and mature trees. So, your mornings can start with a peaceful stroll through the gardens, while the city’s restaurants and riverside walks are only minutes away.
As a result of this prime location, we’re also incredibly easy to reach. Inverness train station is around a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute walk away, while Inverness Airport is 20 minutes by car. And if you’re driving, free parking is waiting for you on arrival. See our getting here page for directions and travel tips.
Historic Inverness hotel rooms with a sustainable future
The Kingsmills Hotel began life as a grand house in 1785. Just two years later, Robert Burns, Scotland’s best-loved poet, stayed here while visiting Inverness. The house then became a hotel in 1946 and has welcomed guests from all over the world ever since. Today, you can sleep in the original building in one of our Classic 1785 Rooms, surrounded by more than two centuries of history. Alternatively, you can choose one of the more modern rooms in Inverness, in our newer wings and the Kingsclub. Discover more of our hotel history here.
The Kingsmills Hotel holds Gold Accreditation with Green Tourism, which recognises our work on energy efficiency, waste reduction, and support for the local community. Energy-efficient lighting and water-saving measures are part of every room, too, so you can enjoy the Highlands knowing your stay helps protect them. Learn more about our sustainable hotel approach.
