The Spotlight on Rocpool Reserve Hotel and Chez Roux Restaurant

Luxury Hideaway Steps from Inverness's Music Scene

Modern design meets timeless elegance at the newly refurbished Rocpool Reserve Hotel and Chez Roux Restaurant in the heart of Inverness. Just a short stroll from Inverness Castle and the city’s High Street, this exclusive residents-only boutique hotel blends five-star comfort with a personal, intimate vibe. With only a handful of luxurious rooms, it’s the perfect urban retreat after a night of live music.

Each room is packed with indulgent details—from Egyptian cotton linens and velvet robes to flat-screen TVs and hot drink machines. Select rooms even feature outdoor hot tubs, split-level layouts, or private balconies to elevate your stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

Rocpool Reserve is within walking distance of downtown Inverness venues and just minutes from the bus and train stations, making it a breeze to get around—even late at night. The hotel’s 15:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out times give you flexibility after a long night out. And with its quiet, residents-only policy, you’ll enjoy a peaceful post-gig wind-down.

  • Groups of friends seeking a stylish base with room to relax
  • Solo travelers ticking off bucket-list shows
  • Couples looking for a romantic, music-filled weekend
  • Fans needing quiet after a loud, unforgettable night out
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing luxury

  • Tasting Spoons (5:30–6:30pm): A unique early evening tasting experience with small bites
  • Signature drinks: Handcrafted cocktails and curated wines served during the tasting hour
  • Delicious breakfast to refuel the morning after
The staff are happy to help you book nearby dinner spots, many within easy walking distance.

Areas for Improvement

Slightly underwhelmed.

Liked: Good breakfast. Eccentric tea/tasting spoons option in late afternoon. Good bar food.
Disliked: Hot water took a long time to run to the bathroom. The phone in the room didn’t have any instructions about how to reach reception. Wasn’t sure the vertiginous expense was worth it.

Fair but too $$$

Liked: The location is very central. The bed is comfortable.
Disliked: The room was on a lower level so only half window and dark. Shower was so small and no where to place items for use in bathroom. I think it’s prob more like a 3 star hotel. Expensive for the experience.

Disappointed

Liked: Nice comfy room, good location
Disliked: I had advised the staff of our approx arrival time and yet no one was on hand to greet us, the bar staff didn’t know how to serve drinks( lack of training) poured my husband a beer and then proceeded to take the rest of the bottle back, asked for some ice and delivered in a plastic jug from the kitchen. Our fridge wasn’t working. At breakfast we had to ask 3 times for toast. Not at all what I expect from a 5 star hotel.
