Dining
The Argyll Hotel operates two on-site restaurants: the Argyll Restaurant offering Scottish cuisine and Ristorante Italiano Rio serving Italian dishes. Guests can order from special diet menus, kids' meals, and a selection of wine and champagne. The coffee house on site and the snack bar provide additional casual dining options throughout the day.
Rooms
The hotel has 33 guest rooms, many with panoramic views over the Firth of Clyde. Premier Double Rooms with Sea View offer guaranteed sightlines across the water, and the distinctive tower architecture makes the hotel a Dunoon landmark. Each room includes a private bathroom, and the property provides daily housekeeping, laundry, and trouser press services.
Location & Activities
Located opposite the Western Ferry Service pier, the hotel provides direct access to Dunoon's town centre and ferry connections. Guests are within reach of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, Argyll Forest Park, and Benmore Botanic Garden. Outdoor activities include a nearby golf course, walking tours, and water-based adventures such as fishing.
Entertainment & Events
The hotel is the only hotel in the area offering murder mystery weekends with themed dinner and entertainment provided by the Walking Theatre Co. These weekends include clue-finding tasks around Dunoon and live performances, with many guests dressing for the occasion. A shared lounge/TV area and a sun terrace with outdoor furniture are available for relaxation.

“From my perspective, the genuine warmth of the staff truly defines this establishment, more than compensating for its dated decor, a trade-off well-justified by the pricing. The location proves a definite advantage, with sea views from some rooms and convenient proximity to local transport hubs, making it a practical base. I found the value proposition compelling, especially considering the surprisingly good food and the engaging murder mystery weekends they host.”
