Boasting stunning views of Loch Linnhe, and a premium location just two miles from Fort William, the Caledonian Hotel is your perfect base for discovering the Scottish Highlands. Enjoy the incredible landscapes of Glencoe and the Western Isles as you explore historic sites and the world-famous Highlands hospitality.
After a day exploring the magical mountains and lochs, you’ll be able to settle into the hotel’s comfortable lounge. Here there’s a regular programme of entertainment, including musicians and comedians with a Scottish Highland flavour.
Make sure you allow plenty of time to explore the Fort William area. Take a trip back in time on the Jacobite Steam Train. Learn more about Bonnie Prince Charlie at the West Highland Museum, or walk up to the Steall Falls, one of Scotland’s highest waterfalls, where you’ll enjoy incredibly rewarding views after your vigorous walk.
The Caledonian Hotel offers a range of suites, including single, double, twin and family rooms. Some rooms also offer beautiful views over the surrounding lakes. All rooms are fully equipped with everything guests need for a relaxing stay. Room facilities include an en-suite bathroom, hairdryer, linen, tea and coffee maker, a TV and a telephone.
There is also an on-site restaurant at the Caledonian Hotel, so you won’t need to travel far to enjoy local cuisine. The restaurant is famed for its traditional fare, but you’ll also find all the old favourites on the menu here. As well as the restaurant, the hotel offers a bar and snack bar where weary travellers can refuel.
