Best Luxury Hotels in Pitlochry

Perched on the edge of Loch Faskally in Pitlochry, this Baronial castle was built in 1892. Created for the port and sherry merchants, Sandeman, it has since been turned into a glamorous hotel and spa. Family owned and run (by the Clark family) the castle houses 42 bedrooms, four treatment rooms, a pool, a sauna and two restaurants. Eating and drinking can be both an exquisite and unusual experience here, with mood-lit pod dining, a unique gin bar and triple AA Rosette-awarded cuisine accompanied by waterside views. And as the town’s only five-star hotel, it’s the fanciest address at which to stay in town.

Located on the edge of Pitlochry in Perthshire and set within 10 acres of peaceful woodland, Pine Trees is Apex Hotels’ newest rural property, following a multimillion-pound refurbishment. This boutique hotel has already been named ‘Boutique Hotel of the Year’ at the National Hotels of the Year Scotland 2025, thanks to its inviting blend of comfort and Scottish charm inspired by the concept of ‘coorie living’. With 32 individually styled rooms—some featuring balconies, patios, four-poster beds, free-standing bathtubs or private lounges—the hotel encourages guests to slow down and unwind. The décor throughout is warm, contemporary and rooted in natural tones, with bespoke furnishings and thoughtful touches. Key facilities include the ground floor restaurant and bar, Flora and Fauna, which showcases modern Scottish cuisine using locally sourced produce, and the adjoining Flora Bar, home to a wide selection of whiskies and cocktails ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring the surrounding Highlands.
