About the hotel
Described by our customers as having “the best view in the bay”, step back in time and relax in our traditional Scottish family-run hotel.
We have been awarded the FHG Diploma for 'Holiday Accommodation of the Highest Standard', and we welcome you to our home and small, family hotel. The rooms are cosy and individually decorated in a traditional style in keeping with the 100 year old building.
Rooms to the front have magnificent views over Oban Bay. Golf, fishing, horse-riding, sailing and swimming are all available within a short distance. Please note that as the hotel has a ‘pets welcome’ policy it may not be suitable for people with pet allergies.
There is a central, feature staircase in the hotel (no lift), and the lowest bedrooms are on the second floor. As a small family-run hotel, we hope that The Palace Hotel will feel like a home from home.
