Small family-run hotel with stunning sea views and original period features

Rooms & Suites

Palace Hotel offers family rooms with direct views across Oban Bay. Each room is individually decorated and maintains original architectural features such as period fireplaces and high ceilings. The hotel has no lift, so guests with heavy luggage should request lower-floor rooms.

Dining

Full cooked and light breakfasts are served daily in the dining room, using locally sourced ingredients. Advance booking is required for breakfasts, which are prepared to order. The lounge and bar area also offers a small range of wines, spirits, and soft drinks.

Location & Activities

The hotel is a 3-minute walk from Oban Rail Station and a 10-minute walk from Oban Ferry Terminal. Nearby attractions include Glencruitten Golf Club (15-minute walk) and Ardchattan Priory Garden. Fishing, horse-riding, and sailing opportunities are all available within walking distance.

Hotel Features

The first-floor lounge offers sea views and an open fireplace, providing a cozy setting for guests. The building retains original period features that add character throughout the common areas. No extra fees are charged for room cleaning, and daily housekeeping is provided.

Family & Pet Policies

Palace Hotel allows pets under its pet-friendly policies, welcoming guests traveling with animals. Family rooms are available with configurations suitable for groups and children. The hotel provides convenience for family gatherings with no extra cleaning fees.

“The location is a significant draw, placing you right by the bay with glorious sea views and moments from key transport links and amenities. Rooms maintain a comfortable, classic style with well-appointed beds, though some may feel a touch dated, balanced by genuinely friendly and helpful hosts. It strikes a fine chord between accessible convenience and a charming, welcoming atmosphere.”
