Inverness Palace Hotel & Spa, WorldHotels Distinctive, is a 4-star spa hotel in the Scottish Highlands, set on the banks of the River Ness directly opposite Inverness Castle. Spend your days on Loch Ness, in the Cairngorms or along the North Coast 500, then come back to a 50-foot heated pool, sauna and steam room in the Leisure Club & Spa, and massages and facials with Pretty Woman Spa.
Whether you are planning a relaxing spa break, a spa day with afternoon tea, or a Highland road trip with time to recover, the Palace puts the spa, the restaurant and the city centre a few steps from your room. Dine at Eight on the River, walk the riverside to the Ness Islands, and wake up to castle and river views.
Many Highland spa hotels are a long drive from anywhere. The Palace is different: you are in the centre of Inverness, the gateway to the Highlands, with the station, restaurants, Eden Court Theatre and the riverside walks on your doorstep, and Inverness Airport a short drive away.
That makes it easy to combine a proper Highland adventure with real relaxation. Take a boat on Loch Ness, walk at Culloden or Clava Cairns, drive into the Cairngorms, then swim, steam and book a massage before dinner. Find ideas in our day trips from Inverness guide.
The fully refurbished Leisure Club is the heart of your spa stay. Porcelanosa tiling, luxury changing rooms with private showers, feature power showers and cocoon chairs around the pool set the tone for a slower pace.
Hotel guests can relax in the club throughout their stay. Explore the Leisure Club & Spa.
Our spa partner, Pretty Woman Spa, is run by Inverness beauty specialist Zara Bruce, who has more than 13 years of experience running an independent salon in the city. The team are Gatineau skincare professionals and Neom spa partners.
