IMPORTANT RESTORATION Note: the Palace Hotel & Spa is 133 years old this year and as part of our continuous investment in our wonderful family owned baronial hotel we are restoring the facade of the hotel. Working with Highland Building & Conservation team, who are specialist local stonemasons, we will be restoring the sandstone to its original beauty in 3 phases and during this time scaffolding will be in place in sections on the front of the hotel completing by the end of October 2023. As you can appreciate we have only one chance to get this right so it will take time, care and patience to complete this restoration so that the Palace Hotel can last long into the future. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this restoration period.
