Inverness Palace Hotel is a mid-range property housed in a handsome late 19th-century building on the bank of River Ness in the center of Inverness. While the hotel retains plenty of the Victorian mansion's period touches, much of the interiors have been given a fairly uninspiring chain-hotel makeover. The leisure facilities, however, are some of the best in town, and most riverfront rooms have fine views out to the castle. Overall it's a solid choice, especially for fitness enthusiasts. For a little more character check out the Royal Highland Hotel, right next to the train station, but lose the health center.
