Holiday Inn Express Inverness, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Inverness

Holiday Inn Express Inverness offers modern accommodations, free parking, and an inclusive buffet-style breakfast. It is within 30 minutes’ drive of Loch Ness, Culloden Battle Field and Cawdor Castle....

We were just here for one night prior to flying out of Inverness. The hotel is only a few miles from Inverness airport. The front desk staff kindly made us a reservation for dinner at the Snow Goose restaurant next door (not affiliated with this hotel). The room was small but adequate for just one night. Plenty of plugs/charging ports. Buffet breakfast was good, better than expected and way better than the Holiday Inn Express at Glasgow airport.

Beaufort Hotel, hotel in Inverness

This family-run hotel is half a mile from Inverness Train Station and the shops of the center of the city. It has free parking, a bar and a restaurant serving modern Scottish cuisine.

The room was a good size. Keep in mind this is an older hotel, so the space for the bathroom was limited. The bathroom floor could have been cleaner and some more shelves or storage int he bathroom would be useful. The breakfast was excellent! The staff were kind, accommodating and helpful.

Peter was absolutely wonderful. He gave us some tips on where to visit, how to get around and even offered to take us to one of the sights on his own time. The breakfast was more than generous. He checked in on us to ensure that we were well looked after, if we needed anything, etc. A quick 20 minute bus ride into the city centre, this location is will worth it!

FAQs about hotels in Inverness








Gateway to the Highlands and Loch Ness

A jewel with historic buildings and charming streets, Inverness is surrounded by a typical Scottish Highland landscape. It is located 10 km from Loch Ness, along the mouth of the Ness River and the Moray Firth coast. It is regarded as the northernmost city in the United Kingdom, and capital of the Highlands.

Take a walk around the Old Town, visit St Andrew’s Cathedral, and make a stopover in the charming Victorian Market. The Old High St Stephen's Church is the oldest building in town, and has been a religious site since pre-Christian times.

The Inverness Castle overlooks the river and is nowadays the seat of the Sheriff Court. A hotel in Inverness city centre is ideal to enjoy the different cultural and recreational activities in town.

Watch the Atlantic salmon jumping out the river near the Ness Islands, and try to catch a glimpse of the famous monster of Loch Ness. The Cairngorms National Park is 40 km away, and Chanonry Point is the best spot to watch dolphins, just 24 km away.

Inverness hotels include a large offer of small, cosy guest houses, B&B’s, and rural cottages, allowing a closer contact with the nature. Don’t miss the Inverness accommodation deals on Booking.com!

    It’s a surprisingly small down that feels a bit empty in the day - mostly comes to life at night with all the live music in bars. For tourists, seems mostly a stopping point en route to Loch Ness rather than a destination of its own.

    Easy to get to city whether travelling by road, rail, bus and air (air port slightly out of Inverness). We travelled by train and we had lunch in the Ash Restaurant next to the railway station as we had time to kill before we got into our apartment and food was excellent. We also visited the Palace hotel for afternoon tea which was also good. Plenty of eateries, pubs and shops

    Inverness is perfect for a holiday where you want to prioritize gentleness, quiet, & rest but balanced with time outdoors & access to general amenities (restaurants, pubs, historic sites, etc). Ease of access to the rest of the highlands (and numerous day tour options for the Isle of Skye) are a definite plus for those wanting to go further afield.

    Inverness is a lovely place and ideally situated to go off and explore Loch Ness. The city itself has plenty to see and do with some lovely eating and drinking establishments. The people were warm and friendly and it felt particularly safe when out walking at night. We were there to take part in the Etape Loch Ness which is a cycling challenge around the entire Loch Ness and up in to the mountains. It was perfectly organised and an event i'd thoroughly recommend doing. The walks along the river and around the small islands on the river are really lovely and you are ideally placed for exploring the beautiful countryside that surrounds Inverness.. we will definitely be going back again.

    View Cottage was beautifully laid out and spotlessly clean, and it more than lived up to its name as the view of the city and the far hills was excellent. Communication leading up to our stay was superb. Thank you for that, Blair. The location just above Castle Street put us close to some excellent restaurants including “27”, one recommended by Rick Steves in the Scotland guide book left conveniently in the living room of the cottage. I highly recommend this venue and would definitely stay there again if we’re back in the area.

    This was probably our favourite place we've stayed in Scotland. It is an easy walk from the train station (Inverness is very walkable) and the apartment had everything we needed. There were lots of helpful notes around the apartment for the various things, a coffee machine (not a coffee drinker but others would find this amazing) and a washing machine. We did a reasonable amount of cooking and the apartment had all the utensils we needed. So cosy and the bed was huge.

It''s like a 10 min walk into the center of Inverness, which was perfect. Had really good drinks in a bar called Scotch & Rye.

    The owner was there to serve breakfast every morning with a smile (even on a day he went to the ER- shows his dedication). Small table big breakfast was his mantra and it was true. The room was great. Large bed and comfy shower for my 6 foot 4 partner. That's hard to find in Scotland! We were a short drive from the city. I believe buses were available, but taxis were prompt and cheap. Very quiet location.
