Glenmoriston Arms Hotel is a beautiful old building full of character and charm. Ideally located by Loch Ness in the Highland village of Invermoriston with Inverness to the north, Fort William and Lochaber to the south and the Isle of Skye to the west.  Seeped in history and tradition it's the perfect place to base yourself whilst touring the area.
The History The original hotel built on this site dates back to1740 which is 6 years before the battle of Culloden! It was a 'drovers inn' or stop of point for farmers taking their cattle to and from market. Amazingly, part of this original structure is still in place today forming the Moriston Bar and Reception area with granite walls 3-4 feet thick.   It has carved itself in the history of Loch Ness as being the meeting place for Johnson & Boswell when they charted their journey to the Hebrides and also a favourite haunt for Charlie Chaplin in the 1930’s when actors and actresses of the time wanted a little peace and relaxation in the Highlands. Gavin Maxwell the author of  “Ring of bright water”  also stayed here whilst he finished the book, and then returned a few years later accompanied by Princess Margaret who was presenting him with an award.
	The Present Situated as we are on the road to everywhere, this is the ideal destination for visitors exploring the Highlands.The area is renowned for hunting and fishing. Popular with cyclists and bikers and a great place for a short break or a long stay. A welcome site for tired and hungry walkers travelling the Great Glen Way and a popular coffee stop for regular commuters on the busy A82, the Hotel plays host to a good mix of passers by, tourists and locals alike.     The restaurant is cosy, the service is attentive yet unobtrusive and the menu is fine dining with a Scottish twist. Ingredients are sourced locally wherever possible. The bar has a well stocked gantry and over 100 single malts to tempt, relax and fulfill you.  There are seven traditionally styled bedrooms within the main building and three, new in 2010, more contemporary styled in the Tavern annexe within the grounds. In February 2012 we re-furbished the smaller dining area and in October we turned it into a lounge with a super-cosy wood burning stove. In November we introduced our therapeutic massage room and welcomed Bodysense to Glenmoriston Arms.  www.bodysense-lochness.co.uk Also in November we began the first phase of our new heating system by starting the ground work for our bio mass boiler and in January work began on replacing the roof. Both projects are now complete.     The Future   We are delighted to welcome our new Head Chef Paul Clark to the Glenmoriston team. Paul has a real passion for cooking and a wealth of experience that will bring a whole new dimension to our kitchen. He joins us mid April so watch this space.......
