Mercure Inverness Hotel

Riverside Comfort in the Heart of Inverness

Modern and inviting, Mercure Inverness Hotel sits right in the heart of the city centre, overlooking the beautiful River Ness. Just steps from the shops, pubs, and Inverness Rail Station, it's the kind of place where you can drop your bags and be out the door to your gig in minutes. With free high-speed WiFi, cosy rooms, and a relaxed vibe, it’s a great base for music fans visiting the Highlands.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is a major win — less than a 5-minute walk from Inverness Rail Station and close to popular music venues. After the show, you won't have far to go, and the hotel’s 24-hour room service means you can grab a bite or relax with a drink whenever you return. Despite being in the lively centre, many guests report the hotel rooms are surprisingly quiet — perfect for post-concert wind-downs. Flexible check-in from 15:00 and check-out at 11:00 gives you a bit of breathing room, especially if you’re catching a train or flight the next day.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends heading to a gig together
- Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list performance
- Couples planning a musical weekend in Inverness
- Fans who want to recharge in peace after the show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who want value and convenience

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry here. The Brasserie Restaurant serves modern bistro-style meals with river views, ideal for a pre-concert dinner or relaxed breakfast the next day. If your gig finishes late, the hotel offers 24-hour room service so you can still grab a bite. The friendly bar and lounge area are great spots to compare setlists over a nightcap. Plus, the central location means you're surrounded by walkable dining options.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel keeps things mellow on-site, you're only steps away from Inverness’s bustling pubs, bars, and late-night lounges. Whether you're looking for live music, a lively pub atmosphere, or a quiet dram of whisky, it’s all within walking distance.

What People Say

Guests love the central location, many noting it's an easy stroll to both the station and the city’s best nightlife. Reviewers often highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and comfortable beds. The river views from the restaurant and some rooms are frequently praised, adding a touch of calm to your stay.

Areas for Improvement

Some visitors mention that the decor feels a little dated in parts, and parking can be a bit tight. But most agree that the location and service more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

Mercure Inverness Hotel offers concert-goers a prime city-centre location with round-the-clock comfort, perfect for a stress-free night before and after the show.
