A Victorian Hotel built in 1865 and 1901 of Scottish granite and sandstone. It stands as a landmark on the North Pier overlooking the town of Oban and Oban Bay to the Isles of Kerrera Mull and Lismore and the Mountains of Morven. Most of the rooms have seaviews; those remaining have views of the wooded hillside. All rooms are bright and airy; this is enhanced by the decor.
