The Spotlight on The Station Hotel

Stylish Highland Retreat for Music and Whisky Lovers

The Station Hotel is a charming 4-star boutique hotel in the heart of Rothes, just a short walk from iconic whisky distilleries and scenic countryside. With only 15 individually designed luxury rooms, this hotel blends classic elegance with modern comfort. Whether you're in town for a concert, a distillery tour, or both, its relaxed atmosphere and attentive service make it a standout choice in Speyside.

Why Concert-goers love it

The Station Hotel puts you just minutes from local music spots and walking distance from Glen Grant, Glenrothes, and Glen Spey distilleries—ideal if you're catching a concert tied to a whisky festival or local venue. Thanks to its quiet village location, you'll enjoy peaceful nights post-show. The 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins easy, and with a 16:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out, the timing suits most event schedules.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish base between music and whisky tastings
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list band and a dram or two
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of live music and Highland scenery
  • Fans seeking peace and quiet after a high-energy performance
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a touch of luxury

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up local Scottish fare with a gourmet twist, ideal for pre- or post-show dining. Guests rave about the full Scottish breakfast, served daily and perfect after a late night. The bar offers a robust selection of local whiskies and wines, and while room service isn't 24/7, staff are known to accommodate late-night cravings when possible.

Nightlife Options

While Rothes isn't known for a wild club scene, you'll find cozy pubs and hotel bars nearby pouring local spirits and occasional live folk music. The hotel's own bar is perfect for a nightcap or pre-show cocktail. For those willing to explore, nearby towns offer more nightlife within a short drive.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel's attention to detail, friendly staff, and peaceful atmosphere. Many highlight the exceptional food and whisky selection, as well as the stylish, spacious rooms with scenic views. The location is praised for being both central and quiet—a rare combo.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers mention that the hotel is better suited for those with a car, as public transport options are limited in the area. Also, while luxurious, the hotel is small—so book early if you're planning around a concert or festival.

The Bottom Line

The Station Hotel is a luxurious yet relaxed base for concert-goers looking to mix live music with world-class whisky and Highland charm.

An exceptional hotel with a...

Liked: The location is ideal for anyone who is enjoying the malt whisky trail. The hotel is very well presented and provides a very warm welcome. Ross was great and showed us round the hotel and to our rooms. The whisky selection is amazing and very well presented in a very relaxing and well furnished environment. We stayed for 2 nights so sampled a fair selection. Breakfast was fantastic and plentiful with excellent choice and quality of ingredients. We also had dinner on the second night and opted for the tasting menu with the optional whisky flight to complement. Cary’s looked after us and was exceptional. Her knowledge of whisky’s was great and she was very attentive throughout the meal. Also compliments to the chef who prepared and presented the dishes fantastically, which complemented the quality and taste. The room was well presented, spacious and comfortable. It was a great experience and we are already planning a return visit. Very highly recommend.
Disliked: On the second night it was busier and service at the bar was a little slow. That was easily overcome by ordering two drams at a time. That said the customer service and dedication of the team remained professional and we still enjoyed good interaction. Thanks again to Ross who was run off his feet!

A real gem of a...

Liked: The hotel is lovely, the staff are absolutely brilliant and really made the experience what it was. Food was top notch especially the Haggis and there are no words for the Whisky room. Will definitely be returning.
Disliked: The rooms were far too hot with no heating on and no way of cooling the rooms other than to open windows but that was too noisy. The beds were too soft for my personal liking and I dislike feather pillows which is what you are given. There was am issue on our last day that meant we were unable to have the breakfast we'd paid for as we needed to leave and had been told the wrong times for breakfast which is frustrating.

Fabulous Scottish hotel.

Liked: A lovely Scottish hotel with an amazing whisky room. Reception staff were super friendly and helpful. Just a single room as in Ken for the night and as single rooms go it was exceptional. Will definitely be back when in that area.
