Best Western Lochardil House Hotel
The Scottish Tourist Board rates this Best Western as a four-star. The hotel is set in a one-time mansion, built in 1876 by an area Member of Parliament. If you are looking to make your stay in Inverness a tranquil one, this is the place for you. The mansion and its grounds are lovely, and the semi-suburban setting is just far enough from the city center to be quiet without being inconvenient. It is a small, cozy hotel with only 26 rooms. The hotel has its own restaurant, as well as a bar with traditional leather seats. Free WiFi is available throughout the hotel.

Culloden House
This manor turned hotel was the headquarters for Bonnie Prince Charlie prior to leading his army in to its decisive defeat and the end of the Jacobite Rebellion against England at Culloden Moor in 1746. Sitting on 40 acres of manicured lawns, wood lots and gardens, the place perfectly fits the popular imagination of the estate of an eighteenth century British lord. Travel and Leisure ranked it as one of the Best Hotels in the World, and it sits on Conde Nast's Gold List. Most of the 28 rooms are appointed with classic touches like marble fireplaces and crystal chandeliers. There is a restaurant and a library bar with 120 malt whiskeys on the shelves, as well as a fitness center and tennis court. The sauna is located in the house's dungeon.
