The Glen Mhor Hotel on the Ness Bank in Inverness has been upgraded to four-star status following a new VisitScotland Quality Assurance Report that was undertaken on 6 December.
The news comes after a programme of room refurbishments and staff development in the last 12 months have raised standards within the hotel.
Besides having recently opened an on-site sustainability centre powered by water from the River Ness, owners Victoria and Jon Erasmus also opened the new Uile-bheist Distillery and Brewery on the site this year – the first whisky distillery to open in Inverness since 1892.
Victoria Erasmus said: “This award is the icing on the cake in a challenging year when we are coming out of Covid and have also opened a new business venture, and moved to a sustainable way of operating.
“It’s a real morale boost and testament to the dedication of our staff and management, especially our culinary team led by executive chef Andrew Lee, whose commitment to food quality is impeccable.”
She added: “We’ve been future-proofing the business for the next generation – not an easy task given the current economic climate.”
Since the owners took over in 2006, the hotel has grown from 26 bedrooms to 120 bedrooms and apartments, achieved in part by the acquisition of neighbouring properties on Ness Bank.
