Recently refurbished, it is a stylish, contemporary hotel smack in the middle of all that Inverness has to offer.

This Big Deal has two options.

Option one is for a one night stay for two. Option two is for a two night stay for two.

Both options are for a double or twin Classic room and include a bottle of house wine in your room on arrival; breakfast; dinner on the evening of your arrival and a late check-out to 3pm.

Classic bedrooms all offer supremely comfortable beds; riverside or old town views; HD TVs; complimentary high speed WiFi; en suite bathrooms; hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities. The hotel has a fitness centre which guests are welcome to use.

This offer is available seven days a week with a £25 supplement for Saturday night stays.

Dinner with a view

As well as enjoying a hearty breakfast in the morning, the offer includes a £22 per person allowance towards dinner in the Brasserie or the three course table d’hôte menu.

A cool dining room, the hotel’s 33 Church Street Bar and Brasserie has panoramic views of the River Ness.

Popular main courses range from the braised chicken leg, with a white bean and smoked ham hock cassoulet to the Thai red curry. The Chef’s signature dishes include options such as the maple-roast pork belly with a sausage and butterbean stack, pear and apple purée and sea salt crackling.

A grill section offers burgers, the fish of the day and, of course, the ever popular rib-eye steak which is dry-aged for 28 days.
