Why Concert-goers love it

Music lovers appreciate that you're just a short drive from Inverness city center venues—making it easy to catch shows and get back for a good night's sleep. The hotel is located in a quiet area, so you can expect a peaceful post-concert wind-down. Free parking and proximity to the airport (just 15 minutes away) also make it a breeze for out-of-town fans. With check-in from 15:00 and checkout at 11:00, there's time to relax before and after your gig.

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s inclusive buffet breakfast (with bacon baps and scrambled eggs) is a hit with late-night concert-goers who need morning fuel. While there’s no full restaurant, a bar on-site offers drinks and light snacks, and a vending machine is available for late-night cravings. Inverness city center and nearby retail parks offer walkable dining options for pre- or post-show meals.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more of a chill zone than a nightlife hub, you're only a short cab or drive from Inverness's pubs, bars, and live music spots. The on-site bar provides a relaxed vibe to wind down with a local drink after a gig.
