About
The Royal Hotel, Stornoway's most historic establishment, is located a short walk from the town centre, offering views of the Stornoway marina and Lews Castle. As a traditional hotel, it provides a relaxing atmosphere and Hebridean hospitality, catering to both holiday makers visiting the Outer Hebrides and business travellers.
This traditional hotel allows guests to enjoy Hebridean hospitality, whether they are staying for a holiday in the Outer Hebrides or dining in either the Boatshed Restaurant or HS-1 Café Bar. The Royal Hotel is ideally situated in Stornoway, with room views spanning the marina towards Lews Castle, and easy access to the town centre, local beaches, and nearby visitor attractions.
The Royal Hotel is renowned for its special, warm hospitality, which is evident in the way guests are welcomed and looked after throughout their stay. The staff's greatest strength lies in their commitment to providing guests with an enjoyable visit to Stornoway.
Dining at the Royal Hotel offers two distinct options to suit all tastes. The Boatshed Restaurant is a stylish, modern venue overlooking Stornoway Harbour and Lews Castle. The restaurant's menu celebrates the best of Scottish produce, emphasising local seafood, including hand-dived scallops, mussels, and creel-caught langoustines. For a more casual dining experience, HS-1 Café Bar provides a relaxed setting to enjoy a meal with friends and family.
